I'm going to wait to update my profile text so that anyone that wants a little background on me can read that still.

Before and after pics are in profile. Black and Red is Feb 12th 2010 and Blue and Black is Aug 16th 2010. 6 months! Whew!

On Monday, I had my 6 month fitness assessment with my personal trainer after completing a 6 month program with them.

I'm 5'8"
Start Weight: 313
Current Weight: 272
Difference: 41 lbs and 13% lower

Was size 24W-26W
Now size 18W-20W

Overall Score for my age group on a scale from 1 to 100:
February: 11
August: 42

They rate on a bunch of stuff like resting heartrate & blood pressure, exercise heartrate & blood pressure and how well I recover, flexibility, weight, measurements, body fat composition, & overall upper & lower body strength.

In February, my body composition was 54% lean body mass and 46% fat and now my body composition is 57% lean body mass and 43% fat.

In February, my resting heartrate was 86 and now is 69. Ranking was 8 and now is 55.

They have me do an aerobic step test for 3 min to bring my heartrate up and then check it again after one minute to see how well I recovered. In February after one minute my heartrate was still 133. Now it is 97! That went from a ranking of 18 to 75!

They also take my blood pressure right at the 3 minute mark of that step test. In Feb it was 140/92 and is now 128/82.

In February I could only chest press 15% of my body weight and now I can lift 34%. The rank of 10 is the same though.

In February I could only leg press 115% of my body weight and now I can lift 199%. This is a ranking from 11 to 90!

And now for some awesome measurements:
Neck: -7/8 inches
Shoulder: -2 7/8 inches
Chest: -5 inches
Waist: -6.5 inches
Hip: -4.5 inches
Thigh: -2.25 inches
Calf: -7/8 inches
Arm: -1.5 inches
Forearm: -0.5 inches

It feels great!

    I did not check your food log but I am just going to assume that is under control as well. You are doing an awesome job and hope that when you get there you will take what you have learned and earned to the next step; teaching and motivating others.
