It sounds to me that getting a program is not going to help. I think your head needs work first. Your mind has to lead and your body will follow. You need to get psyched up about a change in life. First you need to set realistic long term and short term goals. Keep them realistic though. For a diet it helps to premake the diet in advance to take the guess work out of it. Buy a nutritional info book on ratios of macronutrients in food. as far as training, how much experience do you have in the gym? and how tall are you to be flabby at 165? I go through spurts of this even after 10 years of training. It takes me sometimes to set new goals in order to motivate me or change gyms or change the time of day I workout. Organization helps and really wanting it. Good luck bro and keep me updated. i will help you out as much as I can if you answer some of those questions I asked.

I'm with SC on this one....

Are you ready to sit down and say - "Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life. I will fundamentally change my approach to life, including food, exercise, and everything inbetween?"

This is because you will find that in order to be effective, you have to change your *living* pattern, not just your eating and exercising pattern. People who simply go on a diet or add a couple of gym days a week without fundamentally asking themselves the question of whether their lifestyle is healthy are bound to not see satisfactory results.

If sounds like you are at a crossroads and are taking stock of where you are going healthwise. That is good - you now need to make a commitment to a healthy *lifestyle*, and this will include diet and exercise. If you are ready to make this commitment, you will find that this site has many members who can help you. If you are looking for quick and superficial fixes, you will be disappointed.

Thanks guys well SC I'm 5'9 I'm 18 yrs old, I've been going to the gym for like 4 months now....you know what though I think i might know what my problem is. It's consistency. I'm not consistent with these things I tend to be motivated for like 3 weeks then I'll just forget about it and vice versa..your right scrum half...This is something i really want though, it's not for superficial fixes. I'm a big believer in excersise and diet the healthy life style but I will work out on my consistency issues. and when i accomplish my goals i will post up the results with that. Now the training program & diet I just need like a good routine that can help me with what I want to achieve. Sure i go to the gym but i just hit the machines and weights and i really don't have like a schedule for what to do or what part to work out. Do you guys have like a certain routine you follow?? Anyways thanks guys i appreciate the feedback

Keep a training log to help disclipline yourself, here's a link to a training log thread to kinda give you an idea

bro you're young and somewhat inexperienced in training. so.......don't worry about anyone else's routine, and don't go reading flex and all the other magazines and try to follow one of their routines. keep it simple. to help keep you in the gym start off with like 3 exercises per body part. focus on basic movements and make sure you keep good form. form is essential especially now, if you start with bad form you'll keep it long into your training and it could hurt you when you're really moving heavy weight. again don't try to do too much all at once, that's how you get fatigued and frustrated, leading to loss of interest.

this first link shows pretty basic exercises

this one will give you a little more variety
http://www.abcbodybuilding.com/
just go to the exercise index page.
these have been posted on here before. there's so much knowledge on here all you have to do is search for it.

i would suggest a personal trainer if your that serious. to many times do i see people in the gym workin out everyday doin everything wrong you must learn how to lift proper now before you pick up badd habits. and just cuzz the guy next to you is curlin 150lbs wrong its ok to do less weight correct. sorry just venting my own personal issues! good luck bro.

5'9 165lbs. is not real flabby. You probably have some decent muscle you just need to work it. All the advice given is dead on. It is your lifestyle that changes not just you eating or workout habits. Get the to a gym and often my friend.
