Teenager with a question...
Hi, I'm 16 years old, I am 6'0 and weigh 228 pounds. I want to lose a significant amount of fat, and I'm going to try to keep most of my muscle. I'm kinda in a hurry, I want to feel good about myself by June (I'm also looking to play football for my school, I think the try-outs start in early June). But the problem is, I don't know much about fitness, or diet. So I need your help. I mainly want to lose fat from my lower body, since that's the most noticeable area. Can anybody here give me a workout schedule and/or a diet? I can't get into any gym's since there aren't any around here, but there is a park with nice big hills, I can use those for my cardio workouts. So if anybody can help, please post here :)
P.S. I really really want to lose weight, I may be able to post my before picture here, then post my progress as time passes :D

No such thing regarding target fat loss - you have to lose total bodyfat. How it is positioned is a gift from your parents. :D
Your question is very broad - so I suggest you search the forums and find some bodybuilding and fitness books to educate yourself and get a good foundation of knowledge.
You have no gyms? You could start by running in the mornings before breakfast - but you need some resistance training to keep up lean weight for a faster metabolism. Some how you are going to have to figure out some weighted push ups, pull ups, squats. You need resistance training. You have NOOO gym around you? :unsure: Or is it that you do not have a membership - yet?

Have to agree did a lot of research on this and it is in your DNA makeup where your body loses and stores fat first. I second warriors advice..
