Just wanted to post my 1 year progress pics, and say thanks to everyone on these forums for helping me get to where I'm at now. I dont think I ever would have reached my goal without the information and support from these forums. Obviously I still have a ways to go, I'm estimating about 25 - 30lbs, but I'm hoping to be there by January. Ive been doing Starting Strength for the entire duration and my strength has stayed relatively steady, some areas improved. Looking at my pics it doesn't look like I have much of a muscle base though despite the lifting so I'm contemplating changing my routine to a push / pull split to see if that helps (yes I know Im still cutting and in a deficit).
Im really looking forward to finally reaching my goal within the next couple months and starting my bulk. I'd like to look somewhat decent by this summer, but Im keeping my goals small.
The before pics are me at 263lbs last October and the current are me now at 205lb.

Thanks everyone!

Great job. Dont focus on how far you have to go, think about all the progress you have already made.
Are you not working out your legs?

Great progress man. I'm going through something similar. Do you have gyno or is it just fat that needs to be cut more?[Death of a Fatty]:

Good job brah. We are just about on the same path.
I started this lifestyle change in January 13' tipping the scales at a hefty 255, now down to around 205. I've hit a wall as far as the scale goes; it hasnt moved much the last few months although i've been very strict with my diet but i feel my clothes fitting differently so im not all that worried.
I too feel as if need to cut down to around 170 or so then work on putting on 10-15lbs of muscle.

Great job!!! Keep it up.
I agree with you. You still have too much fat on your chest to determine whether you have gyno or not. Get rid of the rest of the fat and I'm betting you don't.Beginning Weight (1/13/2013)- 245

Great job! Repped!
As for a workout routine, try Strong Lifts (guy talks a lot but his routine is a good 5x5 with TONS of information). I like the fact it has an app (LiftBig for Android). I'd run SL for a while and focus on getting your form down while cutting, you won't add much in the way of muscle but 5x5's help build your CNS more than muscles. You will get MUCH stronger and can take your time to learn good form so that when you do decide to bulk you'll be that much further ahead. But again, find a good 5x5 to work on CNS while cutting and you might surprised yourself with strength gains, they're not dependent on a surplus like muscles gains.
