First off, I'd like to note that this is my first post. I've been reading this forum the past couple days and absorbing as much info as possible. I just have a couple questions and hopefully maybe some pointers on what I am doing right / wrong so far.
Quick backstory of me. I am and pretty much have always been extremely obese, ever since I was a little kid (you know, the fat kid in class). Last October (2006) I married a great woman, who ironically is in quite good shape, I of course was still fat. Two months ago we found out that she is pregnant and due June 29th.
This was pretty much my wakeup call that I need to lose a lot of weight and get in shape for when the baby is born.
I started my new food plan and signed up to a gym on Sunday.
For diet one of the dentists that my wife works for and his friend that works @ a "GNC Type" of store told me to go 6+ meals of nearly 0 carb. Which has taken a little getting use to, especially the frequency of food.
For supplements they have me on M80 as a stimulant weight loss, a colon cleanser (that to just take for 1 month), liquid multivitamin, and whey protein mix. So far I feel good taking what I am currently on. However I have seen about 1000000 different posts here saying different stuff that should be taken. Am I missing anything vital that I should be taking?
Here's a example daily food plan (advice is helpful)
Wake up(around 10:30)- Protein Shake, 2 M80 pills, 3 colon cleansers
11:30 - 2 or 3 eggs (or just whites depending)
1:30 - Can of tuna w/ some mustard
4 - couple pieces of cheese, colon cleansers
8:30- protein shake & 2 m80's
9 -leave work and goto gym
11:30- get home from gym and make dinner (piece of steak, pork chops, etc)
right before bed - couple pieces of cheese
Note: Throughout the day I drink probably 100oz of water. I drink 64oz alone while @ work.
Gym Routine (I've only gone 1 week but here's what I have done)
I've been using DIYWorkout on my mobile phone so here are the logs. For workout it goes set #, Reps done, weight.

That's my workout log so far. I know its extremely low weights compared to most, but remember I have never gone to a gym in my life. My upper body feel especially weak, especially once I push the higher reps. I am waiting on a trainer @ my gym to finally confirm my appointment with them. However I feel that I am completely under utilizing my time @ the gym. I also have 0 plan what so ever when I get there. I've been deciding what I am going to do as I'm on the treadmill for 5 minutes to warm up.
So in brief any suggestions to what else I should take, my food plan, or what I can do @ the gym would be super helpful. In short my goal is to lose a massive amount of weight and when I do lose the weight have a "sorta-cut" look once the fat goes away.
By the way starting weight on Sunday was 307. Current weight as of this AM was 296 (thank god for "water weight").
Regards in advance for your help.
