I advise a lot of people and help with many diets and write some of the diets plans for them. This journal and picture is a good friend of mine who is still going great following the plan.

May 2
Weight : 176 lb.
May 9
Weight : 172 lb.
Had my first carb up session this weekend, 12 hours on Friday and a full 24 on Saturday. I made a mistake and didn't spread my first couple of meals' calories over a longer period (damn pancakes), but I kept everything proprtional.
May 9: 172 lbs.
May 16: 175 lbs.
The increase in weight is a little discouraging, but judging by the mirror and not the scale, I still look a LOT better -- my waist definitely looks good (especially the obliques) and the love handles are still almost MIA. Regardless, I switched up my routine today so I could lift the day after my carb up and the results were amazing -- I made gains in everything again.
As of May 18, my fat weight is 18.65 lbs., lean weight is 153.35 & my body fat is 10.8%.
May 16: 175 lbs.
May 23: 173.8 lbs.
I'm still making HUGE gains in the gym, for instance, adding a total of 30 lbs. to my flat bench workout and I'm up to dipping 40 lbs. in addition to my body weight. I definitely don't feel like I am losing any muscle or gaining any fat whatsoever. My pants are definitely a lot looser these days since my legs and glutes are a lot more toned as well, and my chest protrudes over my stomach like it used to back in the old days.
May 23: 173.8 lbs.
May 30: 173 lbs.
I finally invested in an $0.86 cloth tape measurer, so I can track my measurements (first time doing this):
Waist: 34-1/4 (which I find weird since I fit into size 32 pants with room to spare)
Bicep: 14
Chest: 40-6/8
Thigh: 22
Calf: 15-1/2
May 30: 173 lbs.
June 6: 171.2 lbs.
June 6: 171.2
June 13: 171.8
June 13: 171.8 lbs.
June 20: 169.6 lbs
June 20: 169.6 lbs.
June 27: 170.8 lbs.
June 27: 170.8
July 5: 165.0
July 5: 165.0
July 19: 161.5
All I can say is AWESOME. For the amount of weight I'm putting up, I can believe how much less I weigh. Unfortunatly, I lost noticable size in my chest but I *think* I can deal with that since my waist measures 32 inches around now and my obliques are looking sick. And to think in less than 4 months I lost almost 18 pounds
