2/23/11 - Stuck at 150 since the end of December down from 179.6 on 10/20/11 with running and 1200 calorie diet increased to a 1600 calorie diet in the beginning of February and a week of lifting before these pics were taken

Looked like above until I started an almost entirely protein diet @ 1600 calories on 3/16/11(Last Friday) continuing to lift heavy and completely dropping the running - lost about 5 lbs.
Today (3/23/11) at 144.6 after carbbing up (2000 calories today, with 160grams of carbs vs the 40-50 on my 1600 calorie days)

Starting a PSMF again tomorrow aiming for 1300 calories this time (vs the 1600 this past week, except for 2k today) :)... and I aim to drop another 5lbs or so - six pack in less than two months? Yes it is possible! (and I'm predicting the six pack after I drop the 5 lbs - now you can just barely see the bottom abs).

    Thanks guys :).... I finally took some peoples advice on this forum and focused on building muscle. I was using fat burners since January and I was stuck at 150 for so long even with a ton of running.... and as you can see in that pic the running/fat burners weren't working that great.... I was eating a healthy, high Carb diet because I wanted energy for running but I wasn't getting definition.... so I started lifting and running but nothing was happening as you can see in the pic. I graduallly decreased my running and decided to just stop it during my all protein diet this week. I was using creatine for about the first two weeks of this month and I looked bloated but my strength went up.... I cut out the creatine earlier this week while I was low carbing it because I could tell it was covering up my ab muscles and along with the high protein I cut out a lot of the fat and water that the carbs were making me hold onto and it really cut me up :)... started again today looking for more fat loss... will post up results in a week.
