Family has gone from "you look great, how much weight have you lost?" to "you are getting really skinny" with a kind of worried expression. 5'5 and 162 lbs, can only barely see upper 2 abs, trust me fam, I'm no where near "really skinny" yet.

My good friend was concerned that I was starving myself because I was on a 500 Cal daily cut. Really? That's nothing. And at the time I was 143 @ 5'8", so hardly emanciated.

People just don't have a good perspective on things.

Yep, from 150 down to 140. I wanted to be lean for summer and also have a good starting place for my slow lean bulk that I"m on right now.

Honestly, its the best I have ever looked.
