Do strength training at least twice per week and keep your daily protein intake HIGH........... Nothing strips away bodyfat better than adding LEAN MUSCLE !!!!

I never eat back any of the calories that I burn through working out, also my weight loss has been achieved with hardly any cardio, it was purely strength training.

For people commenting on why I'm not smiling in all my photos...................... I hate having my photo taken, its even harder when you are taking them yourself !!!!! But trust me when I say " I am happy inside " !!!

lol.......I think the word your looking for is " Ripped "

Thank you for all your kind comments, especially my MFP friends that have been there with help and support during the year. If anyone is interested in learning more about intermittent fasting these are a couple of great sources of information : www.leangains.com Rippedbody.jp

Yes, increasing lean muscle and a very low bodyfat percentage along with drinking loads of water tightens everything up.

Best of Luck..............YOU CAN & WILL DO THIS !!!!

Thanks again for all your kind words.

Future plan is to keep building lean muscle and get my bodyfat down to 8% Not looking to add in any barbell work yet, lifting with heavy dumbbells is working for me at the moment. Leg work , I currently do : Seated calf raises Lunges with dumbbells Squats with dumbbells

Thanks everyone !!

Hi, and Thank You, I never ate back any exercise calories ! Start lifting weights now......... muscle burns calories, the more muscle you have, the faster your metabolism is, so you burn more fat just doing the day to day things!!

To start with I had my calories set at 1800 with a goal of 2lbs per week loss, some weeks I lost more and some weeks less. As I started to build muscle and my metabolism speeded up I increased my calories, currently they are set at 3200 and I am still loosing around 1.5lbs a week. I am 6' 4" tall Chest was 54 inches, now…

Age is just a Number !!! Just follow the basics like I did and you will get great results, all you need is a bench, a set of dumbbells, lift heavy for 6-8 reps, do 3 sets, workout 3 times a week ( mon / wed / fri ) make sure your diet is clean, eat plenty of protein.

The crazy thing is ( which I take no notice of ) my BMI currently tells me I am borderline obese !!!

Yes I am tall - 6' 4"
