Ok, what red-blooded male who went to see "300" would not LOVE to look like that? I have the lifting/bodybuilding background, but I am a fatty at the moment. I am at 25-30% (depends on how/who measures it) body fat, and I look terrible. I could really use about a 30 lb fat loss to get down to that look, I think.

I have given myself until Halloween of '07 to do it in. So its April 12 right now, should give me plenty of time, right? Piece of cake, right? Well not for me. Hard for me to lose weight, and as I age (44) it ain't gettin any easier. Plus, its even harder to diet AND maintain muscle mass, so I want to go slow.
