Is it possible? Because I was thinking about not doing cardio when I start cutting in February or March I would just eat around 500 less calories than I eat now

    Very possible! Cardio is great for your body but as long as you eat less then you burn you will lose the fat without it. Keep lifting but I already know you plan on doing that. I suggest cutting some of the processesd foods and maybe tracking your sugar and sodium, it made a big differance for me while losing weight.

    Yes, I can get to 10% bf just fine without cardio.

    I also eat processed food, sugar, and salt.

    Definitely very possible. Easier with cardio though.

    Yes! Cardio is the foundation of my program. One great work out is the mini-tri. 16 laps in the pool, 10 miles on stationary bike, and 3 mile jog. 2 hours, I burned almost 1600 cals. Buring off body fat allows your cuts to show. Lifting is great also, especially, squats, bench, and deadlifts.

    never said completely cut it or it will keep you from your goals but I just noticed a positive difference when I was keeping a eye on my sugar and sodium ;-)
