I just did a mini three week cut. From 203lbs to 183lbs. I think it went pretty good. Diet was pretty flexible which was nice for a change. Got to fluctuate my carbs a lot for once as well, which was also nice.

You are RIPPED! You lost 20lbs in 3 weeks? How many calories were you eating? How much cardio?

Puberty would be my guess! Looking solid though bro. And only 20. You'll be huge in a few years.
I’ve been a member of this site (under a different name) for about 3 years.
18 months ago I finally stopped making excuses. Using this site and other people transformations as inspiration I have improved my life.
I can now look in the mirror and not feel sorry for myself, I can now buy better fitting clothes and not be limited to specific shops catering for the type of person I was.
I still have a long way to go and to be frank will never be 100% satisfied. What I can be sure of is that without the help of this site and gym I train at, I would be an even bigger guy.
Thank you.

I am VERY curious also as to what your diet was like. Please elaborate!!!
[QUOTE=bigphill911;1082090873]This is my progress for a little over 4 months. I didn't get serious with my macros until about the last month. Loving every minute of this journey and still have a long way to go. I started at 274 and am down to 231 currently. Now to get rid of the alcohol and continue on to a healthier lifestyle![/QUOTE]
Very nice!! You looked pregnant in the first pic!
Great Job Everyone

No kidding! Lets get details!

It totally depends on your bodyfat percentage. If you are still at a high bodyfat, i would definitely cut down to 10-13% before starting a bulk. When you are a lower bodyfat you will be able to see the gains you make more clearly, so that will be a huge motivator in the gym. If you bulk when you are already pretty fat (like i did) you may develop gyno, and you wont be able to see if your bulk is working properly or not. Thanks to my dreamer bulk and extremely high estrogen sensitivity, i developed gyno when i got fat. Thank god insurance is paying for the surgery though.
I went on a dirty dirty bulk after the "before" photo was taken and thought i was building a ton of mass because i was gaining weight. Nope. I got fat. I was forced to stop working out in the summer, but i was eating next to nothing and moving around alot at an autoparts store, so i lost 30lbs and dropped to 11%BF. After that i was hit with mono for a few months, so i lost even more weight. I was down to 165. I guess you could call this the ultimate prep for a year long lean bulking period. Since the end of last summer i have been on a strict lean bulking diet with great results.
The most important part of getting big is the diet, no doubt. But the training is where you make it or break it. For example, the transition (noob gains) from the 50lb dumbells to the 80lb dumbells were easy for me on incline bench. I was easily climbing up in weight with minimal effort in the gym. But getting to the 90's and 100's required me to really push myself in there. 110's are even worse. It has gotten to the point where i look at the weights and i dont want to do it, but i force myself to. Moving up in weight is so hard and daunting when compared to before that most people give up when they start plateauing. The most important thing is to give it everything you have, and push yourself through these barriers. Everyone complains about natural potential and plateauing, but im willing to bet most of those guys dont give it 100%. I almost passed out on incline yesterday.

Great job.
I've lost around 20 lbs, I'm tall so it's hard to tell. Fall 2011-today. Had three hip surgeries in between so there's a few ups and downs.
Really want to put on some more muscle and lose a little more fat.

i know i got a lot of work yet to do :)

good progress mate
The before was vacation in 2009, 45 years old and 235 lbs. Not much changed until January. At the time I had lost a little weight but was still 223 lbs. Then a bet with some friends prompted me to actually get serious. Currently I'm at 195-ish and working on getting some much needed muscle. I have another bet going now. 10% body fat by October 1, but my wife says I'm not allowed to get skinnier. So that can only mean one thing, more muscle.
He's before (3/1/2013) and current (6/7/2013) pics of me, lost 32 pounds.
