Fitness Challenge!

I think joining this thread is a good idea. Should have joined earlier.

Here is my goal:
For me to join the National Guard I need to get down to 30% body fat. Since it's body fat that I need to lose, I don't have to worry too much on how much I weight, rather, I need to worry more about how big my hips and waist are.

right now I am at 43% body fat with a total weight of 210 lbs for a 5'6 body frame. I'm starting to get a little worried about it cuz my recruiter told me that the latest I can join before I lost my GA Military Scholarship is late August. Even though I have been doing some P90X (i only have the dvd workouts, not the whole package), it has been really slow going, and I can't afford to lose this scholarship.

I have done P-90X and the nutrition plan is a very important part of it. I would try to get your hands on a copy. As I have been told numerous times before, "If you are not eating right you are wasting your time working out." You have to eat a VERY specific way depending on nutritional and fitness goals.

Good luck!

BTW - I'm up to 7 miles, 3x weekly on my bike. My wife is now onboard with the Paleo diet (although I had to make some concessions and I'm no longer on the "zero carb" paleo schtick), there will be less "cheat food" in the house so my diet MUST improve. Additionally, I'm going back to the gym and performing some mild yoga (mostly as prehab for an old wrist injury and a current bout with Plantar Faciitis ).

I now have a masters weight for height (42lbs), a couple stones, and plan on getting a little throwing crew together on sunday afternoons if this damn rain would let up.
