I got 70 lbs to lose and this time I'M NOT QUITING

My name is Isaiah. I have a beautiful wife and three wonderful kids. I am currently serving in the U.S. Army, but nearing my Ending Term of Service (ETS) date this summer. I have had a horrible time with weight in my career in the Army. I joined at 19 and weighed 190 lbs. Since then I have seen 230 lbs. twice, 190 twice, and now I am 256. I want to be a police officer and so I would like to be as fit as I can when I enter the academy. I am trying to make a life change to go along with my career change.

  • Awesome, dude. A) Thank you for serving. B) You got this. You've served your country proudly, and all you have to do is put that focus toward your fitness. Stop eating garbage. Hit the PT, and limit the booze. You've got this. Good luck!
