Oh my god, I just got back from the gym...
Adrian and I went together, he ended up joining as he got a really good price for a membership since we are common law and I have had my membership for ages (though you wouldn't know it!!

)

Anyway, I got all my 'stats' or whatever done, and I am in shock! When I was in England less than a year ago I was down to 125 lbs, bodyfat of 21%...
So now? Oh my god...
I weigh 163 lbs (which is less than 2 days ago, stupid body). My boyfat, though, is the shocking bit... I am 36.5% body fat!!

32% and above puts you in the "at risk" category, which means I am risk for a variety of things now! GREAT! My fat mass/fat free mass ratio is 1.7, and it should be AT LEAST 3 according to this sheet she gave me.
The woman I saw (she's not really a trainer, I can't afford to see a trainer as it's $100 for ONE session!

) said that I should get down to at least 140 lbs, so I have 23 lbs to lose. She said I could do it anywhere between 6 months to a year, depending on how much I work at it.

She also said that to get down to 140, I should be eating up to 2100 calories.. which is almost double what I have had some days. She said that my first bodyfat goal should be to get down to 28% which is in "acceptable" and then down to 25, which is almost in the healthy range.

She took all my measurements, and says she will check them again in a month as well as my bodyfat % again.
I can't believe this has happened to my body, I feel so gross in myself for letting this happen. I have no clothes that fit anymore, I tried on some shirts today and even the larges looked awful.

Yowza, what a day!!
