Hey 41,

When I first started lifting weights I was what you would call skinny fat. I was skinny all over but had a belly that didn't match the rest of my body.

It sounds to me like you have about 8 months or so until you start college.

So what I did was to first go on a weight loss diet and exercise program. It only took about a month and half to loose the gut and then I went onto a mass building cycle.

With your time frame you should have enough time to get jacked before you enter college.

Good Luck!

Take Care,
