Hi all, please forgive this very novice post in advance.

So...at the beginning of this year (Jan 23rd) I started eating approx. 2000 cals a day and I can not tell you how wonderful I feel!!! My energy is awesome, I sleep like a million bucks and my lifting days are WAY more productive and I have see results in these last 6 weeks like I haven't seen in 6 months of lifting 3x per week.

I'm thick though and I want to lean out and drop body fat %. Now I know there are a gazzilion ways to do this. I was looking for some links, your thoughts etc. Just some general direction.

I'm discovering my plan and what works for me so your help is much appreciated!

Thanks,
Sal

    What has your bodyweight done since moving to 2k/day?

    My body weight the first two weeks dropped 7lbs. Then, back up 4 so a total net of 3lbs in 6 weeks. But man my biceps are sure looking FANTASTIC and I love it. I am doing the bf% test again in April to check that progress. I'll read the link, thank you! I want to be sure I understand what I am doing and why I am doing it before I jump into any program.
    Much Appreciated!
