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.

this is me
