I've been relaxing and laying around in the sun this afternoon.

Here's a sort of cool picture of Turtle inside the house watching me while I bask in the sun.

I'm about to do my back/bicep workout early while I'm still all sweaty...

Excellent back workout today!

Somewhere around 7.4% body fat in this picture...

Now I'm really confused. The whole point of what I posted in the last paragraph of today's update was that I wanted to wait a few days past the 1st of the month for my monthly photos specifically so that the pictures will be of me at 6%.

Apparently the Earth may stop spinning or something if I do that, though.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Maybe it's the low carbs.

I love back shots because everyone's back looks way different and they all look cool.

No! that's not what I meant though. I said I was just curious as to how you'd look when you got down to 6% and was wondering if there'd be a video posing session when you get to 6%. Sorry for the miscommunication

I haven't really thought about doing any new videos. Maybe, I have no idea.

I've decided to go ahead with my monthly pictures as usual. The reason is because if it winds up taking me past the JSF cheat meal to reach 6%, my cut could very well drag on until the end of June. I don't want there to be any pressure to end the cut before I hit my goal.

Also, I still have this damn fat below my belly button. Even though the rest of my body is very lean, that fat makes me look like I'm at a considerably higher body fat percentage than I really am. I'm so fucking frustrated and sick of it..... Maybe I'll just cut until I'm at 2%.

Sorry for my language.

You're looking fantastic John, your dedication is always very inspiring! I know you'll make it to 6% and look even better when you do.

When you hit the 6% mark, have you considered getting some professional photos taken? It seems like it would be a great time to do it.

I know we've talked about it before, but liposuction? I don't think anyone would fault you for lipo @ 6% bodyfat, heh.

My point was that you virtually invariably take your photos on the 1st of the month, regardless of your body state. As you've summised yourself, the end of this cut is unchartered territory. It may take more than a few days.

Glad to see you're going ahead with the monthly shots anyway Keep up the motivation.

Everone: I'm really sorry that I keep complaining about my stubborn fat area. I'm human and sometimes need to vent, just like anyone else. This journal seems like the best place to do it. I'm in a very good place mentally right now, but the strict diet/low carbs are making me a little more edgy than usual. Please bear with me.

Yeah, just doing a little venting last night. I feel good this morning.

I don't think I want to bother with that, at least not this year.

I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought about it, but I still can't see myself going that route. It's just not me.

Honestly, there's not even much fat there. I'm starting to wonder if it's mostly loose skin combined with a very small amount of fat.

If it's any consolation to you, I have trouble with the very exact same spot. Every time I look in the mirror I tell myself, "Cool! I have something in common with John Stone."

I can't wait to see your 6% BF pics. You've been such an inspiration to so many people and your dedication and willpower are amazing. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

Going to go out on a limb here.... and ask.....

Did you build the site yourself, or did you pay? If so, how much did it cost you?

Excellent progress, lucky you have such a great space to train!

[gazareth]

John, out of curiosity, at what point will you be calling off the cut? Unless there's a rather large coincidence, you won't be 6.0% exactly, so will you stop at 6.4, 6.3 etc, or even 5.8/5.9?

[Falhurk]

John, make sure not to forget that mental health.

You're looking good buddy!

You're more than welcome.

If you are referring to the main site, then yes--it was designed by Sverre Sjøthun. Feel free to email him for a quote if you are interested. He's very good.

I don't know, I haven't thought about it. I guess I'm going to play it by ear.

I won't if you won't.

Nice pics John, your waist (lovehandles) is the thinnest I ever seen you...Btw, what purpose do those bands around your wrist serve?

Oh, those are wrist wraps. They stabilize my wrists and help prevent wrist pain, which I used to have a problem with--especially doing heavy bench presses, etc. They work really well.
