I already was enlisted in the Navy for 7yrs and recieved my honorable discharge, I just thought I might be able to help. Have you talked to the recruiters? They should be able to put you into DEP(Delayed Entry Program) and you'll be given a chance to PT with the recruiters. If you have and they won't help, the fastest way I've dropped weight is low carb with cheat days. Also weight doesn't really count as much as bodyfat percentage. You'd probably be able to get a waiver if you're within your bodyfat range for your height and weight. And of course good luck!

Thank you Sir for your Service

Hey guys. First, thanks for starting this group. It is a great idea and hopefully we will grow big.

I'm Tony...30 years old and want to go into the Naval Reserves. First thought about it when I was 22 and when I had to lose about 50 lbs but now I need to lose a staggering 103--FML. You guys seem to be doing a lot better than I am But I really have been pushing hard the past couple of months. Going to the gym six days a week and doing 60-90 mins of cardio.

It sounds kinda cheesy but I want to join because I never really felt a part of anything. Never did the fraternity thing in college nor did I keep many friends. I came from a dysfunctional family so that didnt really help either. Hmm what else...I love the ocean and love to travel so being a sailor seems to fit. I want to do something in intelligence or the legal field. A chaplain would be cool too.

I just have some doubts though. Im really apprehensive about boot camp. If all goes well and God willing I hit my target weight by the end of 2013 id be going in as 32 year old Seaman Recruit (?). I'd feel so out of place with all the teens and twenty somethings. I just hope I can keep to myself and be left alone. Also, I plan on going to law school here soon so that may complicate matters. Im not even quite sure what the Reservists do during their one weekend a month training LOL. Guess I'll talk to a recruiter when the time gets closer.

Seems like im the worst of the bunch so far, so wish me luck Also feel free to add me so we can encourage each other.

Peace (^^)v

Hey guys I'm Jennifer! I'm 25 and going to join the navy!! I'm honestly not sure why I decided navy...I use to think Air Force but navy has way better uniforms haha. I struggled with deciding between enlisted and officer however I have officially decided I enlisting with the dream rate of CTI.

I've already lost 45 pounds since July and have another 32 to go! Believe me when I say that I was never able to lose weight... If I can do it anyone can!!! I slipped up in nov and dec but now I'm back on track. I'm trying out a keto diet and so far it's working! I'll keep everyone updated I it works. I will help motivate any of you if you find yourself struggling. Just shoot me a pm!

I have started the c25k program and on week 2. I'm dying!! People say running gets easier but I am finding that hard to believe. We wil see haha.

I am barely under the weight limits, but my goal for losing weight is to be able to do pull-ups by June. I am trying to lose 15 pounds, as I am reasonably strong (obviously not enough). My strength to weight ratio is not high enough, so I am working on the weight while keeping up the strength training.
Good luck to you all!

Hi everyone! My name is Manervia, I am 21, I have 35 or so pounds to lose before I am able to enlist into the Air Force. While losing the weight I plan on finishing up my bachelors degree so that I can enter as an officer. Everyone please add me and feel free to message me or leave pieces of advice. I have struggled with weight all my life. We are going to see if this helps at all


Good luck to everyone and I hope we all reach our goals!

Hi!

I'm Caitlin. I'm 20.

I have 30 pounds to go, and I'm an ROTC cadet for the Air Force. So upon graduation, I'll also be commissioning as an Officer. It's a dream, a passion, and something I have changed my major for. I don't really have a back-up plan at this point, so losing the weight and getting in shape isn't an option for me. I was never even slightly interested in the military until I got to college where I saw everyone wearing the uniforms. I thought, "Huh. If they can do it, I can do it." And so I did. In order to go to OTS next summer and keep continuing in the program, I have to lose approximately 30 pounds by the next time we take a PFA, which is usually somewhere near the end of October. So, I have about 6 months to get to 165 lbs! Wish me luck. Airpower!

HI I am 18 years old and I plan on joining the army at the start of next year. I need to lose a minimum of 20 lbs as of today in order to enlist but I want to be down 34 lbs for when I enlist. Wish me luck I wish you all luck too
