Your face does look a bit more angular to me.  You look great, by the way!

Don't worry about it dude! They aren't as chubby as you think and it isn't taking away from your overall appearance, at least from what I can tell in the pics, and chicks seem to dig guys who are more filled out than super skinny. :laugh:

Don't worry, it should pass. Most guys have a chubby stage due to water retention or something. Mine was at 5 months and was definitely gone by 7.

Just like me you got bushier eyebrows!  That was something I didn't even realize until I compared my two pictures.

My advice, cut out sodium in a big way as well as high fructose corn syrup and trans fats.  That means no fast food or pre-packaged foods including frozen meals and canned soup and most sodas.  I go to Trader Joe's and they have a very nice select of foods without those horrid ingredients that food manufacturers put in food to make it nice and easy for you to completely mess up your body.  I love their root beer when I need to have that familiar bubbly drink.     

Start to love lean protein, salads, fresh fruit and vegetables, skim milk, no salt nuts and olive oil.  I get a lot of salad kits they sell everywhere which are so easy and convenient to use.  I throw in some cut up chicken breasts and add some balsamic vinegar and olive oil and instant healthy meal.  I do still have sweets and treats within reason as long as they are healthy and don't contain anything I don't want. 

Listen I know it's difficult and it's a sacrifice but it comes down to whether you really want this or not.  I know I sure do.  I have sacrificed way to much not to do the very best I can to be as healthy as possible.  After a little while it becomes second nature and you stop wanting the absolute junk that makes up the common American diet.

Start off lifting light and I would suggest using dumbbells...they allow for more free range of motion as opposed to bars or machines. You can even workout at home if you have/can afford a dumbbell set and know correct form/posture. Just take it easy, take it slow, and listen to your body. Add in some cardio a few times a week to lose body fat....but more importantly than all that is your DIET haha. A good, clean, healthy diet is one of the hugest factors when trying to shed unwanted fat and pack on lean muscle. So double it up; a good workout regimen + a good diet and throw in some willpower and you'll be ripped in no time flat!
