New to the forum want to lose weight and gain muscle

Hello everyone,

I forgot to make an introductory post first. I already have a thread in the fat loss forum with the more exact details about my journey. I'm a 27 year old male and am 5'11 and weigh about 185 pounds. According to my BMI calculation I'm just shy under the mark where I'm considered overweight. However I think that if you were to take into account my body type in reality I'm actually over that mark. You see, under neath my fat slob of a body I can tell I have a pretty slim frame. I have very little muscle and have skinny arms and hands. I'm sick of this horrendous combination. As long as I'm wearing a T shirt I look more or less normal, just a bit out of shape, but once I take my t shirt off I realize how much I hate my body. I really want to post for a body fat estimate but I'm quite far away from the 50 posts necessary to do that. I'm really quite curios exactly how much of me is body fat and how much I should lose to look like what I'm "supposed" to look like. I lost weight when I was 19-20 through a very unhealthy starvation diet, back then I was pretty fat. This time I want to actually do it healthily, if any benefit came from that previous diet is that it taught me that I can indeed stick to something in the long run. This time I plan to use that ability to maintain an exercise routine and a diet that will make my body what I've always wanted it to be. One of my biggest obstacles is that I do not live anywhere close to any gym nor do I own any body building equipment, frankly I can't afford it either. However I could probably build some of my own or just start off with exercises that don't require any of that.

Anyway, thank you for allowing me to join the community, there definitely seems to be a lot of knowledgeable people on here.
