Feeling Out of It....

So today is Day 30 of my P90x start. I have lost maybe a pound and a half or so (maybe less due to my ridiculous water fluctuation due to new BC). I am 21, weigh about 138, with a 29 inch waist and 36 inch hips.

I was not looking forward to today during the whole "recovery" week. I didn't think I look any smaller but my fiance kept telling me how much more toned I look, etc. Today took the measurements. Didn't lose ANYTHING on either my waist or hips. VERY disappointing.

Sure I can now kill the Ab workout and do more pushups than before but I look the SAME. Took some pictures and was disappointed even more!! Who cares if I am good at crunchy frog if my abs aren't any tighter!!

I am mostly upset because I have been spending 1-1.5 hours 6 days a week on this I could have just stuck with running 4-5 days a week @ 45 minutes a pop and burned more calories and probably lost more weight. I eat my calories and most if not all my exercise calories. I wear a HRM so I get an accurate idea of what I am burning. I have done every workout with the exception of yoga which I substitute for running 60 minutes @ HR of about 175 average.

This is my first experience ever with any type of weight training as I have always just been a runner. What should I do? Stick it through 60-90 days with this weight training? Or go back to my comfort, running... I just feel like I should look at least someone different after a month as I really "brought" it but maybe I am just prematurely depressed...

My fiance who has done these workouts with me to the nail and eaten the same types of foods has lost almost 2 inches in both waist/hips and about 10 pounds which substantially growing ab definition and arm toning.
