Here goes nothing...Progress pics that are LONG overdue.

Okay....first things first...I'm about 15-20lbs away from my goal, but I figured I would post these up to get some constructive criticism from you ladies! I've been dieting for only a week now and I'm trying to stay motivated. I'm hoping that you all can help me do that.

Now, keep in mind that I am mostly a strength athlete so I am a bit large/bulky...LOL. I know I am holding water but also keep in mind that the lighting sucks and I actually have quite a few good cuts...especially in my quads.

Anyway, fire away...I'm up for whatever you dish out!

I know I have a thick waist and my biceps suck along with a number of other things...but hey....if I was perfect I'd have nothing to work on!

I hope you don't mind me jumping in here NF. You look great.....if you say you're still 15-20 pounds away, your physique will look fantastic at that time.

I don't think those shorts and top do justice to your body....they don't enhance your proportions which are actually quite good.

Your back is excellent as are your legs. From the rear, your waist actually looks quite narrow.....you have excellent width which is a plus.

Your big advantage is that you have long legs and a short torso with good width........prerequisites for a beautiful physique.

With some specific bicep and tricep work you're well on your way. Given that your training is strength specific, you have alot to be proud of. Congrats on what you've achieved thus far.

You're looking nice and solid. You've got some yummy hams there girl...makes me want to get out the eggs and frying pan. I bet once the diet kicks in, your biceps will show up more too. Remember to keep the protein intake high when you're cutting!

Keep up the good work, beautiful!

I totally agree with vinylgroover and MrsPuddles (almost always agree with her on most issues!)....anyway, I think you are being excessively hard on yourself.

And the workout clothing does not do you justice at all.

In any case, I am sure you will be most pleased and psyched when you do start dieting down. Quite frankly, I think your gams are killer -- I have a very long torso and short legs -- and would kill for your lower body.

Good job!

Wow, you look fantastic . Great looking quads, I must say.

What diet are you on? And what kind of training are you doing on this diet? Is it just strength training or, or you adding in some other types of cardio?

What ever you are doing, You look amazing, Keep up the good work.

love

Your legs are killer! Great proportions too - nice width in your shoulders/back, tiny waist and long legs.

Lovemymuscle-

I am actually taking the cutting diet that brickgirl posted that she used and am tweaking it to fit to my bodyweight/requirements. I was going to use Spatts cutting diet, but I've found that for the amount of time I have right now between working around 60 hours a week and going to school...well...bg's diet is just a little more simple for me. I don't really know if I'm getting enough...or if I'm getting too much nutrition.

I weigh about 173 right now and am 5'5.5" I am mostly doing strength training which with my schedule is only weight training 3x/week, but I'm hoping to change that back to four if I can. Also, I do cardio 3x/week. I was doing an hour, but I think that I can lower that time if I get my diet tweaked.

Thanks you all so much for the input. Keep it coming! I need all the motivation that I can get...whether it's good or bad!

You look great NightFly, and you're going to look ssooooo great when you hit your goal. You've made some nice progress I'd say, and I'm really jealous of your shoulders and quads. Since you asked for constructive criticism, I'd say the one area that might need a little more size to balance things out would be your calves, but that couldjust be the pics, or maybe my calf fetish. Either way, you look great.

When are you planning to hit your goal?

I would have NEVER guessed you to weigh what you weigh at the height you say you are. I thought you were much taller. This means that you have HECKUVA LOTTA MUSCLE!!!! Which is ALWAYS a good thing.

Being as how you are not BB or Figure or Fitness athlete don't concern yourself with "perfect" this or "perfect" that. You really have a VERY NICE physique. I agree w/those that posted before me.

When you reach your aesthetic goal you will be a force to be reckoned with ( I RECKON! LOL).... not that I would EVER want to piss you off NOW... I think you would look at me funny and I would *poof* scurry away like the LEEDEL MOUSY that I am!

I can't wait to see future pics...

But, one request.... For the guys, OF COURSE, could we please see BIKINI?!?!?!?
