Well, I'm new (obviously) and I was directed here by my fiancee (ladyumbra on the forums) because she said it was helping her a lot, and that it may help me.

I am starting out at 5'9" and 195lbs

Thank you for the welcomes!

question: how do I tell if I am actually doing anything positive, I mean I am staying within the same ten pound area but my arms are getting slowly thinner and my pants keep deciding to fall off and then a few days later fit better again.

The only way to tell is to keep consistent track of the various metrics:

weight
measurements
bf%
pictures
etc
