I've basically been trying to eat cleanly and get in as much protein as I can. My only vice as far as that has been energy drinks to stay up at work.

Good, you seem motivated! Last tip: get at least 8 hours of quality sleeptime after your workouts. Don't underestimate that! Now go and lift some weight, you lazy post writer!

I post at work, and I typically go to the gym before work (I'm on the night shift)

I have been doing 30-40 minutes of cardio (treadmill, stairmaster) and doing weightlifting every other day.

Missed it today though because I slept in

I've dropped a few pounds so far. But it always fluctuates a pound or so which is frustrating..

I weighed in at 225 the first day and last time I went in (friday) I was 222. So I'm getting some progress..

Huh, I just read through the entire of this thread. Don't want to hijack but I guess this is kinda relevant as I'm also with Zepp, trying to get the skinny toned kinda look, but could anyone explain in layman's terms how to get it? Reps, squats, they're all very vague terms to me... I'm 132lb and 6' at the moment, all I've got at home (theres a gym about a walk down from my place though) are two 4kg weights that I've been doing 100 reps (i think they are) with each arm, 25 erm, stretching my arms out holding the weights and bringing my arms together things (excuse the incredibly untechnical term), and 100 situps every other day. Would this be good for getting the lean look?

132lb at 6 feet tall?? You're skinny as fuck

[FortePenance]

yeah. If I suck in my gut, you can see my ribs pressing against my skin. I can't tell if it's waay gross or waay cool.

So you have a little more meat on your bones than Jeffycakes

I actually wouldn't mind that, it's better than....suck in your gut and you still have a gut

You already are lean

Basically for food you want to eat lean proteins, good fats and complex carbs.
