Serious Noob, 30 Days Into Cutting - Any Advice?
So I'll get straight to the facts:
I was 200lbs and tired of looking like crap so I decided to start losing weight. I was already a member and joined a gym planning to do this earlier, but procrastination was easy as I was starting two businesses at the same time.
Anywho, I ended up moving to an area with literally NO BALLY gyms so I've been working out at home.
While the first set of pics are from October 10, 2011 I genuinely didn't start going anything about my weight until after Thanksgiving. So I'm about 30 days in and looking at the before photos for the first time.
My goal is to end up cut with a low bf %. I'm more interested in "aesthetics" than I am bulking...
I'll outline what I've been doing in terms of fitness and diet to help from my much better educated peers:
Diet: I've been consuming around 1,000-1,500 cals a day. Depends on the day, but normally a baked chicken quarter, and a Subway footlong. Also, at least 3 liters of water everyday. That's pretty much it, I did cheat once and eat two jumbo slices of pizza last Friday though. LMAO
Excercise:
I lift on A days: 3 or 4 Sets of everything at 10-11 reps (bicep curls or preacher curls, pulldowns, flies, skull crushers, push ups, and some other stuff that I've seen videos on that I honestly don't remember the names to lmao).
On B Days I do legs: None of which I know the names of aside from squats and lunges
Everyday I'm either:
Playing tennis for 60-100 minutes
Cycling (weather isn't an issue here) [for example I just did my first 50 mile ride up and down the coast Saturday]
Every now and then I'll go on a 5 mile walk just to clear my head while listening to audiobooks
And I do 100 situps and crunches daily (honestly it's only been about 2 weeks of this).
So here are the photos:
5'11" 200 lbs

5'11" 180 lbs

Weight loss time frame: ~30 days
I started at around 200lbs even this month and I was 180lbs as of Saturday, I also try and not weigh myself more than once a week at least so I don't get obsessed with it.
Any feedback, advice, or criticism is greatly appreciated.
