Today marks the firs day of my "cutting diet", implying that I will be reducing my body fat percentage while sparing as much muscle as possible. I've only done this once before, but last time was a resounding success, but the major difference between then and now is that I'm starting considerably leaner than I was at the beginning of my last cut. I was 250lbs @ 15-16% body fat and cut down to 222lbs @ 11% bodyfat. Now, after gaining 10 lbs over the past 9 months or so (inb4 pregnant), I've escalated to a proportionally lean 232lbs @ 12% body fat. My goal is to get below 10% body fat and finally have striking 6 pack and define the rest of my body more than I have ever had it defined. I'm going to be aiming for 9% body fat - we will see how the journey goes. The tricky part is losing almost exclusively body fat without losing muscle tissue. I know that getting into single digit body fat will lead to a more strenuous journey, but I look forward to experiencing it as a whole.
Week 1 - 232.0 lbs ~12-12.5%BF
