Less talking and more lifting - starting with Strong Lifts 5x5

Hi

I've decided to stop talking about lifting weights and actual start lifting weights - Monday morning i'm so in the weights room!
I've been in and out of gyms for probably around 10 years but never really stuck to a program or seen results (probably because i didn't stick to the programs lol)

I'm really not into cardio, i can managed 5 mins on the rowers as a warmup and then i'm over it. So i thought weight training might be the way to shift the fat and get some muscle.

I basically want to stand in one place and lift something heavy and i thought the Strong Lifts 5x5 seemed like a good option, really simple, not too time consuming and no cardio.

I looked around on here and on think i've worked out some starting figures but to be honest i got confused if the amount of protein was supposed to be total weight or target weight ( saw confusing info)

On a 2000cal i've worked it out to
pro 128g
fat 80g
carbs 192g

Pro = .8g per body weight
Fat = .5g per body weight

I'm 5ft 7 and currently weighing in at a disappointing out of shape 160lbs with a body fat % of 31.3 and a BMI of 24.3

I'd love to hear your thoughts on:
My figures - (i would have thought the protein would be higher and the carbs lower?)
Starting strength - what you think of the program, how you liked it, results you got etc

Thanks x
