Once your body is ready for the hard stuff, come back here or ICQ me and I'll tell you all the "secrets" you need to know.
Great advice. Same with the food being 80% of it. Your body composition will change drasticly in the first couple months without going crazy with the weights.

Only extra advice I can add is not to ignore fats. Flax Oil, fish oil, etc are your friends. Aim at making each meal protein + carbs OR protein + fats.. also after you work out have a gatorade and something (whey protein if you can). You'll recover faster with an insulin spike and some protein coming in after you lift.
