August-February transformation

[Hayes21890]

Hey guys. I have been working out a lot more than I use to, and changed my diet totally and I feel better than ever!
Quick little story about why I did the change..
I went to the beach with my brother and some friends for his bachelor party and I was the fattest one there by a lot! I hated it, so I made the decision once I got back I would not look the same this coming summer. I was 211 at the time (August 12, 2012) and Feb. 1 of this year, I weighed in at 173 and have been there for about 2 months now. I am still a long way from my total goal which is single digit body fat and just have decent definition and be overall healthier than ever! Also I am about 6'3", can you guys take a shot at my BF%? I went to a gym in December and they said I was at 11% and it was one of those devices where you just hold on to a handle and it somehow tells you what your bf% is. I think it is not accurate. I think I am around 15% or so? Any help on what I need to focus on would be great! Still a few months out from final goals!
So on to pictures

Thanks! I am down about 37 pounds or so which is exactly what I was wanting! Now just time for definition.

great job op. Bet the girl is happier with the new you

Yeah she is, but she is also a work out machine now too. She does those cardio classes at the gym every day and I have gotten her to eat healthy now! It's getting better every day relationship wise.

Man, they are far from sitting down there. I don't know why it's like that but I think it's hilarious! Thanks for the encouragement everyone! What muscles should I focus on more than others at this point so I'll fill in better?

Thanks! I am actually taking a little break because I pulled a muscle in my neck the other day and that hurt like crazy, so I am going to give it a good rest and just hit some cardio in the mean time. Ready to get back at it though!

Healthy bro! Not taking any roids or any of that pointless crap! Good job! I don't take roids either like some of these body builders.

Thanks for all the words, guys! I have been focusing on different lifts the past month now (decline dumbbell and barbell, squats, variety of back workouts and weighted pull ups!)
Also, I figure since summer is coming up in a few months, I might as well start to try some ab work outs. I have been a big fan of planks and V-sit ups as well as a few static holds. I would like to do some hanging leg lifts, but it puts a strain on my shoulders for some reason, any ideas?

Quick picture for an update. First thing in the morning before working out or eating a breakfast..
