pretty new to the site. was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on a cutting program or where to find one? im 26, 5'6,165 looking to get to 150-55 and cut. i lift 3-4 times a week and run/play sports 2-3 times a week. also any suggestions on weight loss supplements and where to get them would be appreciated too.

Most of us here are not big on weight loss supplements so no help there. As far as cutting you would most likely be just fine by cleaning up your diet and possibly adding some HIIT and keep lifting on the schedule that you are on.

If you are looking for a serious cutting program you will find plenty of them at BodyBuilding.com some to get ready for competition and others just to get ripped for the beach. I am betting that the beach is more your goal.

Two books:
New Rules of Lifting
New Rules of Lifting for Women

Depending, of course, on your gender...

Both books contain routines geared towards Fat Loss.

Cleanin up you diet is 80-90% of the battle though.

If you are maintaining your weight at your current activity level & eating I think you would be well served just to log and evaluate your daily eating for several days (or a week). Use Fitday or something that will do the math for you.

Then you know that for you, at your activity level, maintenance is average of XXXX kcal per day.

Then you can make decisions about how to cut that back to have a deficit or where you can change your activity or both.
