I am down to 277 lbs but I cannot tell much of a difference in the photos so I will wait until July 22 to post new pictures.

Funny how that works isn't it? I'm up 15 pounds and can't tell a difference in any photos either. Looking in the mirror looks different but it just doesn't translate to photography for some reason. Some guys a 5 pound difference can be seen.

I guess it depends where the weight is distributed. If you've gained or lost 15 pounds over your whole body and it is over every section your probably only talking a quarter inch difference around every body part. If you lost 5 pounds but it was only in your midsection it would be more noticeable.

Yea great job man, keep it up! Threads like this one is what makes this board different than most; we do have members from different backgrounds and different goals. Not afraid to post and accept good constructive criticism. No seriously I mean that man, good job. I have mad respect for those who make goals and execute them.

Keep working it.... good progress...

[ATTACH][/ATTACH]I checked my myfitnesspal reports and its slow going but I am making steady improvements on my diet. I am trying to stay around 500 calories under maintenance but my caloric consumption fluctuates between maintenance and my goal. I have not gone over maintenance since July 15th though, which is good for me.

Doing any cardio?

[AvidFisherman]

Kayaking, hiking, and biking on my recumbent bike. I try to lift 5 to 6 days a week and do cardio at least 3. I want to do more cardio but I have trouble finding the time. I do 10 minutes of warmup cardio before I lift, typically on an elliptical.

You should try to mix it up and throw in some HIIT training. Good alternative to get the metabolism burning.

That is actually what I am trying to do for my weight lifting. I am following this HIIT routine:

6-Week Full-Body HIIT Workout | Muscle & Fitness

I am seeing a lot of people at the gym I am going to do HIIT plyometrics, sometime I might start it up but I have been thinking I should extend my warmup and I could include some HIIT sprints; run down one side of the track, walk the curve, run down the other.
