Hi guys! Just wanted to post about how things are going over here in CT. I haven't really told any of my friends about what I'm doing and though I post about EVERYTHING else on facebook, I've kept this to myself.
If you guys remember, I posted my first thread in the fitness forum on 8/9/12. I've since become a pretty religious dieter. I am trying to follow the leangains/Intermittent fasting formula and it's actually working out GREAT for me.
I fast from 2am-6pm (I work third shift) and allow myself around 1800 calories a day from 6pm-2am. I usually have protein as soon as I wake up, followed by a "large" meal, which is always pretty much veggies (or salad), grilled pork/steak/chicken, and perhaps some brown rice.
I'm hitting the gym 3 days a week (tuesday, thursday, saturday), and I play volleyball a minimum of two days a week. (usually Monday and Wednesday). I make sure to run at least 9 miles a week (usually 3 miles on the treadmill every time I'm in there.
I feel much better as a whole, I'm getting stronger, and I have much better stamina and energy! This is the best life choice I've made in a LONG, LONG time.
I just wanted to thank everyone whos been motivation for me so far and answered any dumb questions I may have had. Thanks so much!
I can't wait to keep doing this. I'm finding it pretty easy to stick to, and I know it's been only 5 weeks, but I'm looking forward to a long time of continuing to be healthy and active.
Onto pics:
I began by weighing myself the day after I made my first thread in the fitness forum on 8/9/2012. As of this morning, Saturday 9/15/12, I weigh 194lbs. Pictures were taken trying to maintain the same lighting/perspective. I am not flexing or sucking anything in, in either set of pictures (lol OBVIOUSLY). I really wish that I had taken a picture from the SIDE, as that is where I notice the hugest difference. I have lost a solid 3'' off my waist line... NONE of my pants fit LOL.
and here is a shameless face/upper body pic with no stupid wayfarers on: 
Disclaimer, I know I have tiny nipples, and that I'm still scrawny

Very clear that a bunch of weight left your under the chin area. That area blows up when I gain weight, too.
Great work. Stick with it and see where it goes.

Merely to be healthy. There is still plenty of fat to lose, but I'm just gonna keep doin' what I've been doin'. Eating well, following leangains, gym 3 days a week, vball 2-3 days.
I'd love to lose another 5-10lbs in fat, but I'm hoping to start gaining weight here soon (in muscle). I've got a decent gym schedule, and I've been taking in tons of protein so we will see *crosses fingers*
You look good man. Big progress in that time.

Thanks so much! And yeah people have noticed my face big time. Especially when I smile. It's a really great feeling

I was happy to maintain/define what I had while I was losing (20 lbs). In the end, I did a spot reduction of my belly. Things got more defined with the fat loss.
Decent amount of (lean) protein to help the muscle mass stay put.

It's not LG that is great... It's simple caloric deficit combined with weight training... LG isn't fucking magic... Thank you for stating the obvious. Your point? LG involves weight training + introducing a calorie deficit.
Which proves my point that LG isn't the magic bean... Shuts been around long before some asshole applied a witty name to common sense...

Sure you would. 
So intermittent fasting combined with the workout described in LG is common sense? News to me.
I was always fed the small meal bullshit.
I wasn't making it out to be anything but an effective program to produce desired gains.
I know GB, I was happy to see his progress. I said it was "the shit" for fucks sake and you looked entirely too far into it.
That's it from me, sorry for the derail.
