I (F16) have been overweight for most of my life. Dieting is something I've struggled with since middle school, but since I've been growing taller during that period, I don't have a valid 'lowest weight' to list off. I've been swimming since 4th grade and I have a lot of muscles in my forearms which contributes to my weight as well. My waist circumference is 30in and my hips are around 43in, which puts my waist:hip ratio at 0.70 (low risk). However, my BMI is 27.6 which I am aware is well overweight.
My question is, do I really need to lose weight or am I healthy and fine the way I am? I'm not so worried about being thin for more attractiveness but I would lose weight if I am at risk for health problems, since my family had a history of diabetes.
