Looking like great progress so far - losing weight steadily is the best one. You keeping most of your strength?

Stats wise your waist is that big for weighing so much so that should come down very nicely and you'll be one streamlined animal soon!! Did you have pre-cut measurements to compare to as well (cant be arsed looking!) Diet manipulation is much better for fat loss - cant be doing with endless cardio the day is short enough as it is!!

Great job on the weight loss big man,

im not going to say anything more as it'll only make your head bigger than it already is.

Nice one josh Thanks !! feeling much better tbh & also looking much more leaner / cut, tough dropping 2000 cals as originally eating over 5000 cals a day, now just over 3000 cals a day so feeling hungry sometimes..... so i give myself a slap in the face & say NO...... 

Keep up the good work, its definately showing your on a cut now
