Just want to shed a little fat and get under the 198 limit. I would love to be able to recomp to about 190-195.

You will be looking pretty hench at 210-215 Jim

Thanks Rich!! I'll post up pics. I have been a bit disturbed of late at how plump I look in my vids, although camera's are never kind to me. I think it will be good for my mental game as well - to feel and look more powerful.

I am also following IF right now. On day 3 already. So far, so good, except this AM i am just starving.

After 1 week you will be settled in with the IF! It just didn't do anything for me so I am eating "normal", maybe 4-5 meals/snacks a day.

Yeah I need to get the wifey to take some pics for a starting point. Might be interesting to compare them to when I ended my bulk early last year at 199! I feel like I have put on some quality mass along the the blubber

Good Luck!

Being a former fatty, I am constantly battling trying to gain enough weight to gain muscle and strength, but make sure I dont return to my former self. Never a dull moment!

I hear ya Moe!! However, being gluten free makes it alot easier as I simply just have to adjust dinner portions slightly. I also do not have to count calories - which is something I could not handle anyway.

Jim I have to track what I eat so I ensure I get enough protein! Otherwise I have a tendancy to fall under 150g a day which I think is probably not optimum for muscle growth.
