Here are the exercises that made up Brad Pitts' Fight Club workout. 3 sets of each exercise, taking approximately 60 seconds of rest between each set.

Proper form was maintained throughout. Monday - Chest
Tuesday - Back
Wednesday - Shoulders
Thursday - Biceps/Triceps
Friday - Cardio Saturday/Sunday - Rest
Utilize the calculators below to find the recommended calorie range that you should consume to make sure you are getting what you need to function properly for every day tasks yet maintain a calorie deficit to promote weight loss at a healthy rate.
Try to keep your protein intake high enough to promote muscle growth. Consume about 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight.
Keep your carbs just below those numbers and only incorporate good fats into your diet, remembering that too much fat, good or bad, will ultimately make you fat. Some fat is necessary to maintain hormones and keep your metabolism running fast. Try to consume the majority of your daily allowance of carbs early in the day when you are most active.
Take what you have learned here and apply this knowledge to your every day life. Once you attain your goals try not to fall into the yoyo diet trap by bouncing back and forth with fluctuating weight and sporadic eating habits. Stick to the foods that work for you and fits your lifestyle or you will not stick to it. Watch portion sizes and balance your macronutrients for each meal so your body can process and utilize the calories correctly.
