overweight before basic training (female)
hi! i ship for basic in 10 days and am over the weight standards. i'm 5'2 and 144 pounds. i'm eating really healthy (about 1600 calories a day which is roughly 400-450 below maintenance) and running every day as well and lifting a few days a week. no matter what i do i just cant really get the weight off. its kind of unfortunate because im not really fat, my waist usually tapes in at about 34-35 inches but most of my weight is concentrated in other areas iykwim. this is still considered like 2% body fat over what im allowed. im worried that they can prevent me from shipping or that theyll delay me from shipping. which would suck because ive already gotten most of my affairs in order and i dont want to have to tell my family i was too fat to go to basic lol. id even take fat camp, worst case scenario. does anybody have experience with this or know anything about the likelihood that i could be prevented from shipping? thanks! (also any general advice for basic is appreciated! especially any female perspectives bc i know things are different.)
