Well, from having had two friends in the Marines, they've told me that basically everything you think you know about yourself is wrong. Once you apply and go to MEPS, they get your weight and body fat professionally on perfectly calibrated scales, you might even do one of those big tub of water tests for body fat depending on how well equipped your MEPS station is.
My one friend did his MEPS in Pittsburgh and they did a water test for his body fat, it was 6% higher than his physician told him it was using the standard caliper tests.
Point is, as much as you want to lose weight, worry more about hitting the standards for your IST. You're going to get into amazing shape from basic no matter what, so just worry about doing your pull-ups, crunches, push ups and two mile run (I think it's two miles for the Army, Marine IST was 1.5 miles).
