I'm 6'3", 200lbs. Going to the Bahamas May 4th. I've always been thin, but I've got myself a beer belly - which has become like a brother to me - but it's time for that brother to find someone else to go hang out with. So, I've got roughly 9 weeks to trim him down.

I bought me a pair of running shoes and I'm going to start running - but I'd like to do a little weights as well to tone up mainly upper body.

I've got a ton of weights at home, so a gym is not necessary. Can anyone give me some recommendations that will produce some results in 9 weeks? I don't need - or want to be ripped. Just a decent looking upper body.

The running won't really be necessary, IMO. If you hit the weights hard, doing the major exercises like bench press, military press, curls, rows, etc., you'll be burning off more fat than you will by running. I can't stress this enough: 2 days rest on every muscle group.
