In 2013 I was 255 lbs, and now I am down to 202 lbs.

Here on GFY someone in a thread a year ago about military training someone mocked me saying I would never be able to make the minimum requirements for Marine Corps boot camp again. Well, I started training with the local Marine recruiters office two weeks ago in a program designed to make young recruits eligible for boot camp. The running is easy, the sit ups will be difficult, and chin ups will be a huge challenge.
