Help! Weight loss for military

I suggest changing your goal from weight loss to being able to run 2 miles fast complete 2 mins push-ups and 2 mins sit-ups. Or have they changed the test? And i don't remember if the girls get measured around the neck like guys do when they calculate BF% anyone know?

Air Force is point based with a 1.5 mile run, push ups sit ups, and waist measurement. Our measurement does not include neck; it's around the waist at the top of your hip bones. They track your weight but it doesn't matter as you don't get points based on weight or BMI. Maybe I didn't see it, did OP say what branch she was looking at?

I assumed she was heading into the Army since she said she was heading to "Basic" if it was the Air Force I think she would have said she was heading to "Vacation" JK JK I joke cause I was Army and my brother was AF

Haha I know, I've been in 11 years now, I've gotten used to the jokes. When I went through basic was a joke and it was only 6 weeks. From what I hear it's gotten a little harder and is like 8 weeks now.

OP, check out the 100pushups and 200 situps programs. They really helped me a lot. Look up your branch's fitness reg on google and really read up on it. They should be easy to find. I know if you just looks up "Air Force Fitness Standards" it pops up in the top few.

I brought a new scale and i thought i was 15 pounds lighter than i was but yea i dnt normally check my weight all the time it was just seeing that my mom works out way less than me and we started at the same time she has already lost 5 lbs

It's because you are exercising too much. Your muscles are retaining fluid to repair themselves and you aren't eating enough to fuel your activity. Take 2 rest days and weigh again. I bet you'll see a drop in the scale.

But seriously, even though it's hard to hear, listen to the advice everyone is giving you here. It's hard to face that what you want won't happen the way you want it to....but that doesn't mean it won't happen at all. Read the links, do some research, come up with a game plan, talk to your recruiter and then get to work!

So the problem is I'm 5'3 and weigh 184 I have HUGE boobs so half of my weight is coming from my breast :-( any advice as to how I can lose 40 pounds in 2 months! My goal is to leave for basic in Jan. I have already started eating healthy and I work out 2x a day but have lost nothing! Please let me hear your advice.. Thanks

You just need to make sure you "make tape" for when you leave to boot camp. You'll lose more weight in basic if you eat right and take PT seriously. It's honestly going to be the hardest thing you have to deal with throughout your career. I'm speaking from experience. You might never make "weight" but as long as you make "tape" you'll be set. Once you get through basic make sure you maintain your fitness!!! They take breast size into consideration for the weight-ins, that's why there is taping. Do more cardio and limit your intake before you leave so you set yourself up for success. This site has helped me lose 30 lbs and 10% Body fat.... I am Navy and get taped still even after losing that much weight and BF. You can do it girl!!!
