So I've been kinda down about not losing any real weight for the last 2 months, but today I did my day 28 measurements for p90x and I've lost 8 inches over my bust, waist and hips! I'm only down 1lb and I was really not happy but this really makes up for it! I lost 2 1/4" from my bust, 4 1/4" from my waist and 1 1/2 from my hips. I did gain inches on my arms and legs which is not exactly what I was going for but I've always been able to gain muscle mass quickly so I'm chalking it up to that. Hopefully eventually they'll go down too. For now I'm happy and looking forward to day 56 and 90!

    That's awesome! that's a huge inch loss. Think of calories your body burns now just to stay alive with that muscle mass. I'm on week 3 of p90x and have seen the same thing. Only 1 lb down but inches are melting away. :) Keep up the awesome work. :)

    Compared to a gym membership it's pretty affordable. You can go to the "Beach Body" website here:

    Thanks guys! And I found p90 on craigslist for 75 so you could check there. Definitely a good investment plus you do need to have hand weights or bands and a mat.

    I'm glad I read your post. I'm at snails pace with weight loss, but I havnt measured since I started regular strength training. I'll measure tomorrow. Maybe things have changed:)
