What do you guys think? Am I doing it right?

[rvshdw]

I like your smile. Awesome job man that's really good for 1 month.

[Reconcile]

Great process for just 4 weeks man, looking slimmer.

[getoffmefat]

[nyillmatic]

Thanks guys, and haha nah man my ipod. Resolution is 720p for the new ones so it could be better!

[HILMAN76]

Good for you, you're doing great!

+Rep for ya'.

[lives2bfit]

Obviously you are doing it right. Great progress!

[lives2bfit]

Wait...I just saw your diet. Why not any vegetables?

[bruceabaldwin]

its hard for people to list everything they eat....i would personally incorporate more weight training but just my personal preference....

[Ranniks]

Second picture has gray clothing concealing some of your midsection, so don't really know. But your stomach seems much less right now. Did you eat in the first picture before taking it or something? Take pictures same time and day everytime you take them.

Cardio is nice but HIIT is a thousand times better

[RW308]

You got a before and after weight?

[Jrosenfeld]

Great progress, (Better then my 1month)!

[bf527365]

that looks like a 25lb loss? were you bloated in the first pic?

[ch4chi]

probably a stupid post, but i can only seee one picture?wheres the comparison picture??

[punjabster]

Good job. If this diet and exercise routine is working for you, don't change. I agree with an earlier comment regarding veggies. Add leafy green veggies and it'll have zero impact on your weight loss, but those are very important for you. You should continue to add weights to your strength training routine...don't be skinny-fat.

Thanks, I'll try to add broccoli but thats about as much veggies as I eat. Absolutely hate them. I'll throw in some vitamins and fish oil to help if anything.

Its there brah, try refreshing the page

No, both were taking in the AM right after waking up. I was literally just a blob of fat, 1 month later my stomach looks alot flatter without sucking in at all.

Great progress, (Better then my 1month)!

Thanks man, and thanks to the above posters!

You got a before and after weight?

186 to 179 right now. Exactly 4 weeks and still going strong. I actually lowered my calories to 1500 and my carb intake below 100g. I gain fat REALLY easily, but i'm lifting so hopefully muscle loss won't be bad if any. (not that I have much muscle anyway)

That was just a bit of my thigh and lower back fat poking out. I tryed to take a pic as close as possible, i'll take another to match up. I took them both in the morning as soon as I woke up, no bloat just disgusting fat at the worst places genetically (all goes to ass and stomach)


Stay tuned for my 2-month progress guys! I appreciate the support, it's really motivating me even more to stay on track.

Just ''waking up'' doesn't solve bloating. You need to shet and urinate.

Anyway, great progress for a month

Well I do that before I sleep and piss when I wake up

thanks brah

[pmgiampi]

Great visible results in 1 months work. Keep it up!

[PatheticBowler]

Amazing keep up the good work

[nyillmatic]

Thanks guys! so went down from 1800 calories to 1500 calories a day. Carbs down to 95g - 100g from 130+. I might lose some strength and muscle, that's my only worry.

[mrdazza1980]

Good job mate!

As long as you lift heavy you shouldnt lose to much, if any. Im cutting at the mo but keeping my lifts heavy doing all over compound moves.

Thanks man, same here. 2 weeks in and my strength is stable, but i've lost a little bit. Progress seems to be a a platue though. I've skipped a cardio day here and there and have had a few cheat meals within the last 2 weeks.

[SweetEsquire]

Great progress OP!! Keep it up!!

[IawI]

Great progress. I'd recommend if you are going to diet at 1500 calories, then there is no reason for cardio if muscle preservation is a concern. Just my $0.02

[nyillmatic]

*****UPDATE*****

This is my 2-month progress now! I'm down to 170/172 but i've been staying steady for awhile now at 1500 calories. Fat is being lost mostly in the stomach area but still clings alot to chest and thigh/lower back areas. Dont mind my hairyness btw lol
