You need to fill out your profile first. Then you might get some help.

Keep working out, seems like what your doing has been working, just give it a little bit longer and you wont need that waiver.

Just keep it up. Its not easy sometimes. Im a 6'6 238 pound Marine. I always have to keep an eye on my weight. But I work out alot and I do have a 20:45 run time, so they dont mess with me too much. You just gotta keep after it. Once you get into bootcamp they will take care of you. They got me down to 215 on the island back in 2005. Just stay motivated, you can do it. Take it from a former overweight req. who is now guy they look to for PT. You can do it, just dont give up. They like us big guys to left they big stuff and get stuff off of shelfs...trust me.
