Cut going great so far. Just finishing up week 3, weighed in at 200 lbs flat. That's 10 lbs lost in 3 weeks so far. Seeing veins in my shoulders and biceps during a workout is pretty motivating, and starting to see my top 4 abs even when relaxed. Quads are showing cuts, calves look like shields. I think the last parts to go will be the lower abs, love handles, and lower chest. I can tell already that they will be a bitch to get rid of completely, if I even can.
Diet is 1600-1700 cals on workout days, 1700-1800 on rest days with extra carbs to refeed, and a 2100-2200 cal day with one cheat meal. Works out to an average of 1800 per day. For me this is the best way, since it's easy to eat very little when you don't even have the chance to touch food until after your workout in the afternoon.
Feeling no troubles at all even with the low cals and high output. Even with fasted workouts, strength is not suffering. Muscles are a bit flatter but that's not a big deal.
When I think back to how much harder I used to work, how much harder I had to diet, all with no results to show after several weeks... Those were frustrating days.
