Unfortunately, the online bodyfat calculator that I have been using for years (6 or 7 now) seems to be down. Hopefully it is temporary, but, since the main part of the website also isn't loading, I fear that biofitness may have gone away. So, I found another site, and have recalculated "Day 1" measurements with the new site, so the comparison is more accurate overall. So, this time, I used HealthCentral Network's body fat calculator (and, unless biofitness comes back by Day 60, for the remainder of my measurements).

Looks like 3 1/4 inches lost in the last 30 days. Actually, that's better than I thought I'd done, when I was doing the measurements. The most obviously noticeable aspect of the slight drop in measurements is that I have now put on 2 different pairs of freshly laundered jeans without having to get horizontal! One of which gave me a couple blisters on my stomach a couple months ago, because it was so tight. And, the other, I couldn't wiggle past my hips to even get on, so, I'm happy with that.

Now, for the next 30 days, I need to "BRING IT" with everything that I've got!

Pictures:

OK, so I know the real reason you came to visit my blog (that's why this section isn't at the top of the entry, I'm making you read a bit first).
















I see vague differences between the 2 sets of pictures. (Might be explained by the 3+ inch loss, as to why there are only vague differences!) Some of what I think I might be seeing may be the difference of shadows, skin tone changes, & the fact that the camera was not in the same exact location. But, what I think I see, is a little more definition in my ab/stomach area (where my 6-pack is going to be), and possibly a change in my thighs.

The measurements & pictures are just a good reminder that I need to stay focused on my goals.

Goals:

1. Chest, Shoulders & Triceps. Ab Ripper X.
   
2. Drink 6 bottles of water.
3. Write down everything I eat.
4. Eat 5-6 small meals every day.
