I was so bummed out the other day that I forgot to mention that Thursday was also our measurement day at Boot Camp. I had some decent results! Below are my measurements, the first number is from four weeks ago, the second number is from Thursday. (Duh.)
Left upper arm: 15 / 13.5
Right upper arm: 14.5 / 14
Chest: 43 / 40.5
Waist: 40 / 39
Hips: 50 / 50.5*
Buttocks: 52.5 / 51
Left upper thigh: 30 / 29.5
Right upper thigh: 31 / 29.5
CALIPER MEASUREMENTS
Tricep: 35 / 20
Suprailium: 35 / 20
Thigh: 55 / 40
Body fat %: 41.4 / 30.2
Fat weight: 93.7 lbs / 66.9 lbs
The crazy thing is my body fat % no longer falls in 'obese' according to these calculations -- anything under 31% is considered 'acceptable'. I'm not sure I totally trust these measurements though. However, she's getting digital calipers for our last session (in another four weeks) so that should give me a more accurate idea of those fat measurements.
* She thinks we may have measured my hips wrong last time, or copied it down wrong, because, as she said, "If your butt shrank, your hips definitely shrank too." But I'll leave it as is to be fair.
