Here goes. 2 weeks. Maybe this will give you a better idea of the fat I'm trying to get rid of too.

Obviously not much progress yet, except it looks like I may have slimmed down just a little.

That looks like a decent amount of weight loss to me.
I'd recommend abandoning your effort to lose weight completely. I think your current frame will always yield that "skinnyfat" look so you really need to get some muscle on those bones. Just my opinion. I'm not a professional. |

I'd kick in a lot of cardio if you really want to burn some fat. As much as you can stand without getting bored to tears. For me this is about 45 mins. before I start to get really bored. Also no carbs late, like after 6pm. Also, I'm getting back on this stuff (Krealkalyn), helped me shed some weight 2 years ago, and I'm going on it again. Pretty cheap on Bodybuilding.com. It's just creatine, but I swear it makes my muscles feel 'tighter' and larger, and the fat burn picks up I feel. The reviews are pretty good for it. http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/ca...r=0&site=store |

And yeah, Cardio is boring. I was running for a while, but I broke my ankle in January and after running it hurts for two days every time. |

With his beginner status and skinny-fat frame, he shouldnt avoid any macro amd should focus on busting ass in the gym with maybe a little cardio, if that. |

Have carbs whenever. Your body doesn't shut down digestion because you go to bed! Your body regulates calories/fat storage on a larger scale rather than a few hours and instead it's really in a measure of days. Your Krealkalyn shit isn't nothing but Creatine Mono with some baking powder. Save your money and get cheap creatine mono. Proven effective and you aren't getting anything else but a nice label and marketing with the Krealkalyn. Buck, start gaining strength and let the rest be. Honestly, just start ****ing attacking those weights with good intensity. Don't be so picky with the diet at this point. Gain some ****ing muscle buddy! |

Whenever I've cut up in the past I've always watched my carb intake, especially late. It just makes sense, that if you don't do carbs after 6 or so, then that is like 12 hours your body goes without carbs. You do this successfully for awhile and you will see big time results. This diet technique I've gotten actually from women who have dropped a lot of weight by watching their carb intake in the evenings. Women know how to diet. But yeah, gain muscle, that is the number one goal above all. |

My goal when I work out though is to look like B.Pitt when he was in Fight Club, that type of body. The GI Joe type build. I think this is what Buck is after from what I've read. If Buck wants to get huge then watching carbs is definitely not in the gameplan. |

What makes the difference? Well, my metabolism probably helps quite a bit. But I do the basic ****ing lifts (with some variation for my personal preference but with deadlift at the core of it all) and maintain my calories. That's it. I'm not the most ripped dude in the gym (though I would love to look like Silock, I love beer way too much), but I look powerful. The key (to me) of it all is... deadlift. That shit makes you look like a strong mother****er. It builds your yoke and makes you look badass. Just lift, and your body will come along at this point regardless of diet, not that there's anything wrong with watching your diet now, either. |
Based on your pics, I'd still keep trying to lose weight before I went for the muscle building, but that's just me. If you need a mental break from a deficit diet, that's completely understandable. You can always resume dieting; just don't make "bulking up" an excuse to go crazy.

I'd LOVE to have a lifting partner, but as it is, I end up just asking random dudes that look like they know how to spot for a spot. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. |

Edit: Just want to give perspective... I have probably left the gym because of illness or lack of focus less than one half dozen times in my whole life. |
