P90X - Before Measurements

Prior to starting P90X today, I took my "before" measurements.  I also took "before" photos, but they are pretty gross.  If I'm successful in this endeavor, and I get into great shape, and my "after" photos look good, then perhaps I'll post the "before" photos... or maybe not...

I used a Weight Watchers scale to weigh myself and get my body fat measurements.  I don't know how accurate the scale is for measuring body fat, but I have noticed that the readings appear to be consistent (if I weigh myself mutiple times in a row), and if I'm working out and eating well, the numbers seem to go down.  So I'm going to track my body fat using this scale, as it's the best option that I have.

So here are my "before" measurements from the Weight Watchers scale:

• Weight: 240.6 lbs
• 80.3 lbs of body fat (oh my!!!! disgusting)
• 33.4% body fat (oh my!!!! disgusting)
• 34.8 BMI (don't know much about BMI, but my scale measures it, so I'll track it for now, and learn morea bout it as I go on)

I also took other body measurements that I wish to track:

• Upper arm (middle of bicep) - Right: 14.5"
• Upper arm (middle of bicep) - Left: 14.5"
• Chest: 47.5"
• Across belly button: 46" (again, disgusting!)
• Hips: 42"
• Mid-thigh - Right: 24.25"
• Mid-thigh - Left: 24.25"
• Calf - Right: 16.5"
• Calf - Left: 16"

Wish me luck!
