Does P90X Work? December Update

Does P90X Work?

Wow, it has been forever since I posted on my blog.

Let's see. I have been participating in a local weight loss challenge that is put on by a local fitness center. Of course it is just weight that is tracked, not overall body composition. So if a person lost 3 pounds of fat but gained 3 pounds of muscle their weight would be the same and in essence they would be penalized. Even though they would look quite different even from this small change in their body composition.

Anyway I don't pay attention to the weekly weigh in number. I feel good. My new jeans(size 36 waist) are almost too big. I still have some body fat to lose. Way back in April when I started this I think my body fat was at about 25%(or more). This is clinically obese.

Here is what this means.

235 pounds at 25% body fat is 56 pounds of fat! Yikes

Now I am 225 at 18% body fat. This is 40 pounds of fat. Still a lot but I am on the right track.

Here is the starting pic.

I am going to estimate my body fat at 18%. I am planning on having my body composition calculated in a few days.

Here are pics from today

So does P90X work? I certainly feel it does. Anything works if you are consistent and your eating is fairly clean.
