Yeah yours seems a little depressing hahah. But I practically live on fruit and turkey and chicken and cook all kinds of recipes. The recipes on Skinnytaste.com are my favorites!

Okay guys here are some semi-progress pictures. I have been doing P90X for 30 days so far and I am really enjoying it. I'm at the end of my first "rest" week, I like doing all the core synergetics stuff but the rest of it just doesn't feel like enough of a workout, ready to pick up some weights again! Overall in one month I have lost 6lbs. My goal by 60 days is to be back in the 120s.

(Sorry i'm in my skibees for the 2nd pic) lol.

Great progress BB!!!!

One of the things I did to make P90X more challenging is I bought wrist weights (2 lbs each) ...this helped kick Kenpo and the other Cardio exercises up a notch.

Thank you!

I may just do that. I have thought about buying a weighted vest as well since alot of trainers dont suggest ankle weights.

So, had a friend do body fat measurements on me using the calipers, and I HOPE HOPE HOPE the measurements are accurate!!! Cuz if so, I am down to 13% (I started at 19%) My goal was 15% and even then I thought that might be a lofty goal. So, IF the measurements/method are fairly accurate then I have achieved my weight and surpassed my body fat goals!!! But ever being the pessimist, I am gonna do the measurements every few weeks just to see if we come up with the same thing consistently. Don't wanna celebrate too much prematurely, but I just can't help being excited about it!!!

Nice progress BB! I can see a huge difference in the 1st and 2nd pics! Very nice.

SS - 13% on a woman is outstanding. That's tough to achieve. Women have certain body parts (unmentionables) that account for some of that body fat % and even 17-18% is VERY lean. Congrats!
