Thank you Sgt! I'd appreciate that. Your words mean a lot!

Okay... Well I guess this thread is back in commission. There really is not much more to be said except that my life is about to change for the better, forever... I really must say that I am excited...

Haha! It's true!

Well this is something I am in for in the long run for sure. I have 190lbs to lose and I calculated that it will take me (best case scenario) about 17 months to complete. I would have to lose about...

[quote=Zoso68;781245]Don't know where you found an 11 lb weight (weird number).

I can't remember where I got it but yeah, it is indeed a very weird number!

Excellent advice! Makes a lot of...

I actually looked all over after your first comment about rules but i couldn't find them anywhere. I just assumed that they only showed up during account creation. Clearly i missed it though. Could...

Okay this might be my most important question yet... And this is for everyone looking at this thread but especially those Marines who have given advice.

I wasnt gonna ask but then i figured what...

Noted! Thanks!

If i focus too much on lifting weights and building alot of muscle, wont i still be considered over weight to the Corps even if my body fat % is minimal? I guess...

Yeah i can lift it literally 200 times (i did it every night about 6 months ago...then stopped) and not really feel any burn. But dam that means spending money to get more weights. Worth it but...

[Me being a picky eater] "NOTE: if you want to reach your goal you may have to modify."

(Sigh) Dont I know it! Could be one of the biggest obstacles to overcome but is obviously possible...

...

Forgot to mention that the 2 or 3 snacks a day would consist of either Unsalted Peanuts or Sunflower Seeds (but a limited amount of course) or maybe some of the fruit or vegetables that I mentioned...

Well i guess now would be a good time to also mention that i have been a picky eater my whole life. Not as bad as some but certainty worse that others. Its something i have got a little bit better at...

Like i said in a previous post, I have never wanted anything more that to become a Marine. I consider it a certainty that i will achieve that title...

Wow, that is a great story! Hopefully i wont have to go through what that Marine did though. I hope to be fit and then some before i go so i will be sitting pretty when i get there.

@iamsparticus and @chulaivet1966:

Thank You! Those are very helpful comments indeed! I am very appreciative of the support! I will be a Marine! I will use the link to form a plan in the next few...

yeah the college track is definitely a possibility but i would have to go to a different college than the one i currently go to in order to do that because they are a little anal on who gets access...

No its really not. I was just addressing the pointlessness of his initial comment. Can you tell me what it added to this thread? Anyway its done so no point worrying about it. Please move on...

This is a way bigger deal than i was making it but i understand where you guys are coming from for sure so ....fair enough...

i actually wasnt making a big deal about it. i took no real offense. I am a pretty laid back guy so literally its not a bother. Obviously i dont have a problem with admitting im out of shape since i...

Thanks!

Yeah I feel ya there! I know i have what it takes as far as motivation to do it. I have never wanted anything more in my life that to join the Marines. Im not as naive as to think that it will be...

The problem is that in my immediate area there is no great place to run without getting mowed down by neglecting drivers. Question though: Would running in place produce similar results? I really...

i was wondering when a bloke like you would show up...you are right to a point but the main reason is just pure lack of exercise. You should read down a little lower next time. Stigma's are ignorant....

Gosh i hope 226 is possible with my build....Thank You!
