Thank you. I just wish that I had that kind of mentality when I was 18 years old.

Well, I did get my Associate's degree, but I just blew my chance of graduating with a Bachelor's degree by getting academically dismissed from a four-year university. That is why I need to talk to my doctor and tell him about my situation.

Thank you.

Thanks.

But that's the thing....I don't even have an alternative plan. Because my parents are saying that if I don't get into the military, they're gonna kick me out of the house and I won't have anywhere else to go.

Well, I currently weigh 169lbs. So that would mean that my blood pressure should be close to being normal now because I've not only worked out, but I've been taking a medication called, "Hydrochlorothiazide" which is a water pill that balances out my blood pressure.

I already told the army that I have been working out to lower my blood pressure and that I'm taking Hydrochlorothiazide. Commonly known as "Microzide" which is a "water pill". But, I'm concerned that if I keep telling the next military recruiters about what type of blood pressure medication that I'm taking, they still…

I'm at 171 right now.

Thanks man. I appreciate it.

Of course not. I've been trying to tell my doctor that I need to get off my medications because it was my weight that has been holding me back this whole time. But now that I have met the weight requirement goals to get into the military, they're expecting me to comeback with a letter from my doctor stating that I'm off my…

Good news, everyone! I've reached to 172 lbs, and it looks like my most recent bp reading is 138/75. Only 10 more pounds to lose before I'm at 162.

Everyone, I wasn't being very good at being honest with everyone lately. Not even to my own parents. I've been in contact with both the Army and the Army National Guard recruiters and for the National Guard recruiter, he's been trying to get in touch with MEPS to get a medical waiver for me after I told him about my blood…

I think you may need to contact them and see what are their requirements to enlist into the Navy.

I have officially made it to 186lbs. But now, I'm planning on making it to 175lbs or less in order to get to MEPS.

I feel like an idiot because I blew my chance into enlisting into the Army all because I told them that I have Aspergers' Syndrome. My stepfather's been constantly nagging about me slacking off and not meeting the maximum weight requirement for my height to join the Air Force, when he knows that I've been trying my best…

Good news everyone! I've reached 190lbs. Only 4 more pounds to go.

Thanks.

Well, I did call an old friend of mine that I met at high school and we did started to jog all around Food-4-Less to a small park by a junior high and it actually worked. Tomorrow, I'll be meeting with him to start weight training. I hope I do get better results.

Great news, everyone! I'm about 201lbs and I only have 15 more pounds to lose before I meet my target weight goal.

I'm new here and I want to change the way I eat so I can join the army.

Okay, thank you.

Hey guys. I've been weighing myself in the buff everyday when I work out? Is it normal for me to do that, or should I weigh myself with my clothes on?

Thank you.

Guys, Earlier this week, I weighed myself at 211lbs. Now, I weighed myself to be at 214lbs. I'm about this close to my goal. Am I doing something wrong? Because I really need to meet that weight requirement to get enlisted into the military right now because my 28th birthday is coming up and I can not afford to keep living…

Thank you.

Well, I've been shadowing into the Army's Early Delay PT program for a couple of days now to lose more weight. Then last Tuesday, I acidentally opened my mouth and told one of the female army recruits that I was thinking about joining the air force and then they told one of the Army recruiters about it. So now, I'm in a…

I weighed myself today and I am a 216lbs.

Me too.

I just weighed myself today, and it said that I gain one pound. I figured that it's because I ate a pack of Dr. Pepper flavored Hubba Bubba chewing gum. Guys, I really need some help because I tried to show up for PT yesterday, but the Army recruiter heard from one of the female participants that I talked to them about…

The maximum weight requirement for my height which is 69'' has to be 186lbs.
