I was 6'2" an 115 lbs pounds when I signed up for the USMC, got a waiver, met a bunch of marines and backed out and joined the Army instead. Got to basic, couldn't do 1 push-up, ran/walked my 2 miles in like 19 minutes. Finished basic, could do 80 push-ups, ran my 2 miles in 12 minutes. Still the exact same weight.

Went to Germany, spent my first 6 months deployed, then 4 months eating Burger King every day. I hit 175 easily.

Now I'm like 235, and so broken I can't do anything to burn it off. Got a pool that even in Dallas I can only swim in a couple months of the year without a $500+ gas heating bill.

Point is, eat really bad you can put on weight.

Join the army and blow your knees, back, and shoulder, and you can keep it on.

I still want to eat healthy and have a sustainable diet. There is no point in rushing it by eating fat and sugar for a year a d probably compromise my health. I rather take it slowly but healthy.
