Hello everyone! I stumbled across this site while searching for a body fat measuring formula.
I've been overweight almost all my life- actually since I was 3, when I started ballooning up suddenly, and my weight has been fluctuating ever since.
I'm 22, going on 23 end of this year, and intend to eventually reach my goal of 25% body fat and weighing between 80-90 kg.
I'm naturally muscularly built, and I guess my body shape's a ruler- I tend to put on weight evenly through out my body, though, because of my depression when my weight went up even more, I started putting more fat around my middle. It's currently (slightly) bigger than my hips.
My ideal body type would be like Serena or Venus Williams- though I do not possess the booty (I'm Asian... go figure), I can safely say that I build on muscle mass very effectively, so, a svelte and slim figure is out of the question.
My mother was recently diagnosed with diabetes, and my grandmother died of a heart attack last year. I am quite terrified of getting diabetes and other diseases as well, so I'm trying to lose weight right now before I get older and have a less effective metabolism and become more susceptible to other diseases.
I've tried a few times to lose weight, but eventually gave up because of various factors- mainly because there wasn't anyone there to give me support (I live far away from friends), my family has an unhealthy diet and lifestyle and I am lazy.
With this motivation and hopefully support from the community here, I hope that I can finally make some real changes for myself and my health. I really hope to lose all that fat off because I am just so scared ****less about diabetes, clogged arteries and your other whatnots. I am currently trying to ease myself into the P90X diet and exercise routine.
So.. yeah.. pleased to make your acquaintance. Here's wishing the best for all my other fat-busting sisters out there! \m/
Finally decided to start losing weight for real
