I had my 20 week physician visit today. Pretty good results all around.

Weight: 243 –> 189
BMI: 36.9 –> 28.7
Waist to Hip Ratio: 0.99 –> 0.90
Chest: 46.5 –> 41.75
Waist: 45 –> 36
Hips: 45.25 –> 40
Bicep Girth: 14.75 –> 13.5

Cardiovascular:
Blood Pressure: 134/90 –> 118/70
VO2 Max: 35.9 –> 39.3

Body Composition:
Body Fat: 36.3% –> 18.3%
Lean Body Mass: 155 lbs –> 154 lbs

Blood Numbers:
Glucose: 87 –> 84
Cholesterol: 182 –> 133
Triglycerides: 339 –> 124
HDL: 27 –> 32
LDL: 87 –> 76
LDL/HDL: 3.2 –> 2.3
CHO/HDL ratio: 6.74 –> 4.16

Not bad numbers. At the start of the program they said I had the BodyAge of a 53 year old. Now I apparently have the BodyAge of a 30 year old. Definitely a great improvement. I’m still aiming for more, though. They say if I improve flexibility a bit more, I’ll get 2 years. If I get my body fat down to 13%, I get another 5 years. And improving my strength will give my 1 year. So getting down to a BodyAge of 23 seems reasonable.

They also showed me a before picture of myself (and a recent one). There’s definitely a notcable difference.

Definitely have more to go, though. I remember ages ago when I first got to 180 and thought I was fat. I’m almost back down to that level. I think once I get under 170 I’ll be pretty happy. I’m aiming for 165 and a body fat of less than 13%.

In related news, my size 34 pants fit great now. Next stop: 32.

I pulled down some old pants today, size 36. They fit great. At the start of 20/20 I was wearing size 42.

I bought a pair of size 34 pants and tried them on. They fit, but are just a tad tight. Probably 10 more pounds or so and I’ll be able to wear those.

Well, down to 194.8 pounds as of today. That’s about 50 pounds gone. Not too bad.

Still another 25 to go though. In another week or two I’ll get my 20 week assessment and find out my cholesterol, body fat, etc. That’ll be fun. I’ll post more infoz then.
