I'm certainly not an expert, but I do a ton of reading on the subject from actual accredited fitness authors. When possible, I will link to actual experts and/or studies who support my assertions. I've also done this shit myself and have a good handle on what works and why. At the risk of inflating Pub's spank bank, here are the pictures of my personal progress since 2009:

You can get better progress than this faster if you stick to your guns and aren't a dumbshit. I stopped working out for a few stretches of months during this time when I really didn't have to, and also took a complete break from watching my diet during the school year.
