I started off at around 217 lbs on the 26th February 2016 it's now May 14th and I'm weighing in at 198lbs I am cutting right up to around the middle of August so hoping to be ripped by then if not I will continue with the cut
Diet wise there is no diet I am following I'm just doing what works for me everyone is different at the end of the day so do what suits you.Im on 1900 calories a day to lose 1.5 lbs per week I keep my protien high around 160g my carbs around 220g and fats are around 60g
Training wise I'm just lifting weights 4 to 5 times a week no crazy cardio or hiit cardio however i am going to incorporate some sort of hiit cardio near the end of my cutt
If you have any questions or need help and advice fire away as I am a qualified fitness instructor also
I will post pics up soon thanks
I hope this motivates people

What workouts are you doing to cut?? I mean, I look at your numbers, my weight and cal intake and they don't add up. I tend to go up and down. I am at 221.5 lbs with a Cal intake of 1651/day. I have done a lot of body weight training recently, I have added HIIT on an indoor bike as well as playing softball and football. I did start to do an upper body workout with weights today, but knowing my body, I'm going to blow up and be huge. Not complaining about that, but I would like to get to my goal weight of 195 by Aug, and build some serious definition by Oct. What would you suggest @matt88uk ?0
