P90X Day 60 - Weigh-in and Body Measurements

Day 60!!!  Two-thirds of the way through P90X. 

I weighed myself and took body measurements first thing this morning.  I've lost 17 lbs since starting P90X 60 Days ago!  I am very pleased with this result.  My goal was to lose 20lbs doing this first round of P90X.  I now have 30 days to lose 3 more lbs. I'm sure I'll do that and more.  I also lost significant inches across my chest and belly button (awesome!)... but still have a long way to go. I have to admit that I believe that my improved diet over the past 3 weeks has been a major factor in my weight loss.  P90X is great by itself, but it absolutely kicks ass when combined with a healthy diet.

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.

Here are my Day 60 measurements from the Weight Watchers scale on Thursday March 1st:

• Weight: 223.6 lbs  (lost 17 lbs!)
• 69.8 lbs of Body Fat (lost 11.5 lbs of fat!)
• 31.2% Body Fat (lost 2.2% body fat)
• 50.2% Water (did not capture this in my "before" measurements)
• 8.0% Bone (did not capture this in my "before" measurements)
• 32.4 BMI (down 2.4 points)

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

• Upper arm (middle of bicep) - Right: 15.0" (gained 1/2")
• Upper arm (middle of bicep) - Left: 14.5" (same)
• Chest: 44.5" (lost 3" across my chest)
• Across belly button: 44" (lost 2")
• Hips: 40.5" (lost 1.5")

• Mid-thigh - Left: 24" (lost 1/4")
