Seems like this ended up just a little long, but I hope someone will read it, and try to help me/make recommendation and/or share their personal experience with weight loss, fat pad loss, man boob loss, etc, etc... I think I lost my train of thought, or the objective of the question, I dunno... Anyway, yeah, hope someone has some info/suggestions. Very little GOOD info has come up in the little research I've done, so far. Thanks...
What's up, guys. So basically, I'm 18 years old, half to 19. Now, for as long as I can remember, I've been overweight. Not very overweight, but certainly above what I should be. So off the top of my head, I'd say like 8+. Before that, I believe I was fairly thin, a little meat on me, but body flush with bones/ribs. A healthy weight... Now, where am I going with this? Gynecomastia. If you didn't know, that's man boobs. Of course, I want responses from people who know more, or people who've had good weight loss to see transformation, but I guess any input is welcome. Anyway...
To go a little further into the man boobs, I hear that the condition is more common in guys who are overweight, especially/exclusively (not 100% sure though) during the time puberty occurs. Now what I'm wondering is, does Gynecomastia go hand-in hand with pubic fat? Wondering if any other guys with man boobs have experience with anything like that...
Now, to continue just a little further on the man boobs, I think they say with legit man boobs, you would feel "lumps" under your nipples, I believe they said .25" in diameter or whatever... If I have what you'd call lumps, they're much smaller than 1/4". So it makes me wonder. Man boobs, or am I just fat?
The truth is, I think I have a nice build, ignoring the fat. Problem is my posture, and confidence, way I walk etc, although the flat feet and knock knees certainly don't help my walk, I can tell you that. I'm 5'9"-5'10", and I swear, they switch by the day. I may be an 1.5" taller with normal knees/legs. In the process of getting them fixed... Anyhow, let's say, 5'10", 190 pounds, maybe give a bit. Fairly wide shoulders, definitely wider/larger build than the average dude. A few months of shedding some weight and working out, you can see it would pay off. Now from the front, They look fine. Really, no problem. They do stick out just a bit, but without a shirt, you can't notice it. From the side, more noticeable, but it's most noticeable kind of quartered, or whatever you'd call it.
So without those bumps, I wonder if it's man boobs, or just being fat. As for the fat pad, bone pressed, I am about 5.25, maybe give a little. Non-bone pressed, I am only a bit above 4", maybe 4.15 at the most? The doctor says my weight is fine for my height, build, etc, but admittedly, I am fat, and you can see it. But to lose more weight (I've lost about 10 pounds, mostly due to depression, but that's another issue...), I need some motivation, or at least some encouragement. They say every 30 you lose, you can gain an inch with fat pad. I don't know, seems to good to be true. My man boobs and fat pad, at this point, seem like they could mostly be reduced with liposuction. Anyway, how much fat pad did you lose after you dropped some weight? What kind of reduction did you see in boob fat?
I think part of the problem is, I retain water very easily, it seems. I go do what I have to do that day, I go out for a meal, eat you know, a burger or something. Come back an hour and a half later, and (obviously) my stomach looks quite a bit bigger, but my man boobs, especially from the side, look quite large, to be honest. I wonder if it's because of the new position of the stomach, or just water retention. Even still, one I've peed several times, even if I'm still a bit full, I seem to become less bloated. It might be in my imagination, but I swear my face does a transformation between going out, after eating, and after coming home for the rest of the day/night. Weird...
Just looking for people who have experience with this sort of thing, or who can give me some advice, I dunno. I think I lost my train of thought while typing all this out, so if there's anything I forgot, I guess I'll just comment it in, if it comes to mind... Thanks a lot, whatever you can tell me/recommend.
