I hear ya man. I was 280 and six foot the day I graduated high-school. Today I'm 200 and six three. At my prime I was a pretty fierce 190. Just eating well, cutting out soda, and working hard is what did it for me. I dropped nearly 60 pounds in basic alone! I do pretty good on the APFT but I really don't consider myself to be in great shape. I only did single digit honest foot patrols in Afghanistan, and not in RC east, and they whooped my rear end. My brother (who's a god damned manimal) is making me start crossfit with him this week.

Being forced to pay for lovely food I didn't eat and all the horrible things associated with living in the barracks are the reasons the army has so many divorces. If I ever find myself active duty again, and the army gives gay marriages the same benefits of straight ones, I'm so going to marry one of my buddies.

Edit: Hell I'd probably just ask psydude to marry me. Not like he can do any better.

Double edit: Yes whip let me in on that sweet sweet pension.

Ah ok. I expected irritability and cold like symptoms didn't expect the mild depression. I've actually just recently gone on a health kick. I can no longer maintain the appearance of a 12 year old girl and gained a bit of fat. I just started crossfit with my brother, which made me realize how weak I've become, and stopped eating like a teenager. My god I've started falling apart at 22!

My insurance pays for HGH if I can get it legitimately prescribed for a hormone deficiency. Don't know how I would go about doing that. That would loving own though.

We take a 5 panel drugtest that's looking for steroids and I think it finds them by looking for heightened testosterone, so I'm guessing I would have to get a scrip for that as well. Also I am a complete vagina about needles which is why those special injectors for HGH appealed to me so much.

This horribly agitating NCO I work with swears by it. She also swears that running "is no longer a challenge to me like Zumba is." She gets an 80 on her PT test.

I always found that as my run time improved, so did my situps, because of the strengthening of the hip flexor muscles.
As I lost the rest of my excess fat after basic and AIT my setups steadily went down as my run steadily got faster. My first APFT at my unit I maxed my situps and ran like 15:28. The one after my first deployment I got like 70% situps and ran in the 13:00s.

Good socks and boots. Nice thick socks that fit well. That should be obvious but some people wear too big socks and they bunch up making hot spots. Make sure your boots actually fit well, and are nice and broken in.

Make sure your rucksack is loaded well. This is easier to gently caress up than wearing it wrong. If the weight is distributed all crazy like you're going to be very unhappy. Trust me don't be an idiot and have a ton of weight in a side pocket.

Also be six feet tall+
