If you use ground oats and some milk it tastes really good and doesn't need sweetner. Organic coconut oil is also good for flavouring.

Hi there, made a few posts here and there in this section, just thought I'd post some 'before' pictures, of me being all tiny and fat. My side view is laughable.
18, 5'9 and 165lbs, wanting to cut to get lean. Need to get working out properly now, kind of got a workout plan, diets good though.
What do you reckon my BF% is? Don't laugh btw.

fat?
you dont need to cut, you need to bulk up.

I'd take a guess at around 15%
Don't worry about cutting, eat eat eat - add some size then cut.

Agreed I need to bulk up, muscle wise, but I've got unwanted fat covering my stomach and thighs and I don't want to be massive in weeks down the line, just ripped lol. I'll post images in a months time to see how things are going, but weight training is definitely going to be a big part of my routine now.
Edit: favourite pectoral exercises anyone? any able to be done with dumbbells? I am lacking in the chest a lot.

ripped for what purpose? other than normal skeletal muscle you seem to have nothing to be ripped for.
stop eating less than your daily need, eat more (say 500 clean kcals) for a month which getting in the gym (no your 10kg db's will not help) properly
your bf% will go down if you bulk cleanly.

As Morba says, if your really serious about this you need to get down the gym. Sod the bicep monkeys, slap some iron across your back and squat it down, show them how its done!
Anything you do at home with dumbells is going to be far from optimal, and you will hit the limits of your equipment very fast.

without a bench and more weight? forget it. honestly, you wont build any real muscle with only 10kg db's
I've been hitting the gym recently at 7am - it's great having the entire free weights section to yourself and only a few ladies on the treadmills to ogle at
Takes a bit of mental adjustment to make your body realise that squatting at that hour is human though
Sauna after sets you up for the day too!

Yes sirs! 10am/8pm gym sessions here I come. Diet up to 2200-2400cals a day (for now, all clean), off to go have some steak now.
Oh and ripped for just being plain male model phwoar of course!
lay off the bloody cardio as well, doing far too much to build muscle.
male model? for what, mens health magazine or some waif on a catwalk with no shape (cept for bone)?

Cardio 2 or 3 times a week, on non weight days alright for you?
That will work, but yeah as others have said - starting eating my man!
I'm currently eating a steak sandwich (wholemeal bap)That will work, but yeah as others have said - starting eating my man!
God's food.

Haha, it was only a joke, just want to be fit for once in my life, have been annoyingly plump all my life so thought it was worth a change.

you are not plump, do not think that you are. to think so is bloody stupid tbh.

you have less bf than the the average person iirc (18% ish iirc).
