@aywo That's what it's looking like.

@groo101 Any meal plan in particular you would recommend?

@groo101 Thanks for that. I'll endeavor to eat a more consistent surplus of protein and see where that takes me.

@groo101 You might have a point there. I'm still very reluctant to eat more because of lingering paranoia building up the fat again - but if I focus on lean protein for my surplus this should not be an issue right?

@groo101 Thanks for the feedback Do you think this is the case? Wouldn't there have been a reduction in bodyfat?

@silas1325 Thanks for that, I guess two months isn't a long time but I somehow expected a more obvious difference. Looking at the wall tile size, the "after" pic is scaled slighlty larger so the larger size could be an optical illusion of sorts. Edit: resized image for correct scale.

@logicalwomen Just looking at the photos I would agree with you. For the sake of clarity, left to right is 2 months ago to present. Not an extremely strict diet but I'm eating an average of about 2750 calories per day, mostly chicken/pork, rice, salad (usually vinegar based coleslaw)...

@groo101 More of a "have I got anything to show off?" question: Two months ago I sought advice about my routine and it was made evident that I needed to make my routine tougher, so I added some weight to my dips and inverted rows (first 10 then 25 lbs, I can just about manage 12-13 reps) and...

@mckenzeej Thanks :) I exercise every day, alternating between the following minimum (this is what I do currently, I started at much lower sets/reps): Day 1: 5 sets x 50 reps sit-ups 5 sets x 100 reps bicycle crunches Day 2: 5 sets x 30 reps push-ups 8 sets x 10 reps inverted rows

@apologetics146 That checks out, I guess my advice would be to push yourself that one bit harder than you thought you could.

@apologetics146 You're definitely getting more definition, are you eating enough? I guess in my case my body already had a lot to work with.

@apologetics146 Thanks! It should be pointed out that for the first few months I also dropped to a 500-1000 calorie deficit and I am also cycling a minimum of 25 miles per week. I'm keen to develop my chest/abs/arms further though, I'm wondering if bodyweight alone will suffice or if I should...

@davecb Chest progress after 5 months of doing extremely basic bodyweight exercises. Photos are one month apart. Day 1: Push-ups and vertical rows Day 2: Sit-ups and bicycle crunches I guess I need to add a bit more variety to my routine, but this seems to be working for now.
