My "Before" pics

[Guinness5.0]

I took some pics today so I can gauge my progress as I cut. Well the camera doesn't lie- I'm fatter than I thought

Seriously I'm a bit disappointed by my condition in these pics. Thought I looked better, especially my traps and back overall. Also, the leg pic really doesn't do me justice. Oh well. I'm putting my first serious effort into losing weight and I'll update this post every so often. I've got a journal going in the training forum if anyone cares to see it and help out.

I'm thinking it's gonna take a good 25 pounds of fat loss to get where I want to be (I'm 6 ft. 240 at the moment and I previously guessed my bf% at around 17, but now I'm thinking more like 20).

This is the shot I'm most concerned with for progress tracking- relaxed from the side (abs are flexed though):

Once you cut dude, youll like like a monster. You definatley have some size to work with.

Cutting will be a piece od cake for you bro.

Keep up the good work.

When you lean out you will look ALOT bigger than you do now the fat covers alot of quality muscle

Thanks bro. I agree esp. since I've got some serious love handles going. Once those guys shrink I'll have a pretty soild taper.

I'm kind of excited for what I'll look like.

Cardio Breeze is the shit! It is my favorite supplement, and really works. I highly recommend it for anyone who has trouble with motivation and endurance for cardio.

you got a rock solid foundation...once you strip away those 25lbs you will look jacked. Good luck and stay focused!!

UPDATE: 10-16-05

From this point on I'll update this every two weeks. I'm updating today as I start my two week phase of 15's in my HST program. Anywho, I think there's some progress; nothing huge but since it's only been a few days I'm glad that I can see ANY change. My belly measurement is down a little more than a half-inch to a svelte 41"

IMO it appears that my abs are starting to show just a bit further down in the pics in the bathroom. Of course it could be lighting/angle variations too. I'm fairly sure that they're flexed equally hard in all pics. I don't see any change in the side profile.

I had to keep the camera in its base b/c the rechargable battery is FUBAR. It's older than dirt but my dad gave the cam. to me free so I can't complain

Very good legs.
In my opinion you first have to get ripped and later gain muscle...
