I’ve been tracking my weight, body fat percentage and BMI every week since I got started back in February. I’ll update my stats each week. Anything before April 20th is from simply overhauling my diet and making modest lifestyle changes like walking more, taking the stairs, etc. After April 20th is a result of P90X3. You’ll notice there are some weeks where I plateaued or even went back up slightly. It happens. The key is to not get frustrated those weeks and get right back to it.
This is what I’m using to measure body fat and BMI. You can pick one up online or at Target for somewhere around $30. From all the reviews I’ve read on it, it seems to be one of the more accurate measurement tools. The model is Omron HBF-306C
So let’s get to the measurements shall we?
Weight -
Starting Weight: 213.8 lbs
Current Weight: 192.4 lbs
Total Change: -21.4 lbs
Body Fat Percentage -
Starting Percentage: 27.7%
Current Percentage: 21.8%
Total Change: -5.9%
BMI (Body Mass Index) - just in case you’re not familiar with BMI - it’s a measure of body fat based on your height and weight. Normal weight is between 18.5 - 24.9. This has been a pretty consistent drop for me. Here’s where I am.
Starting BMI: 31.5
Current BMI: 28.4
Total Change: -3.1
So that’s where I stand here on May 25th. If you’re on any kind of weight loss or exercise program you need to track your efforts. If you don’t know where you stand, you don’t know where you need to make improvements or how close you’re getting to your goals. Write down your measurements, how much weight you lifted during your workout, what food you ate, ANYTHING that will help you get an idea of where you are and where you are heading.
