I have been cutting down from 200 pounds to a target weight of around 190 and so far I'm just a little over 5 weeks into my cut and so far I have lost about 6 pounds, but I'm pretty sure I have gained a bit of muscle so there may be more than 6 pounds of fat loss going on? If you're wondering why I want to get my body fat so low, it's because I am doing a trial run for a Men's Masters Physique contest I plan to enter in November of this year.

It's kind of funny how even though it's only 6 pounds, the weight has really come off my waist and so some of my pre-bulk clothing is fitting again. If I had to guess, I would say I am around 7% body fat at the moment and want to close out at between 5-6% at the end of my cut.

Up until now I have even while cutting, I have been making slow progress in the gym but lately the energy is diminishing. Regardless, I am still pushing to get my target weights and hitting them. I am going to try a Carb-Reload this weekend to try and get my metabolism back on track as it seems around 7% is when my body is starting to say "wait a second" :)

Anyways, here are some more "Sneak Peek" photos of how things are looking right now:
