A little help.

[FutureFitness]

Hello my name is Carlos, I am 20 years old. Currently I'm overweight for my age. I'm 285 pounds, yep god damn right?. Well I am working on losing it. I started to go to the gym daily, and I run atlease a mile and a half. I'm trying to get to a two mile run in 14 mintues. I understand thats a long ways away but I know i can get there. My end goal is to enlist in the United States Army.

Things I've done to achieve this goal:
Cut out all the fast food and sodas
Going to gym daily.
Sit-Ups/Push-Ups/Mile Run/Jog
Water, water, water and more water.

My end goal:
Two miles in 13-14 minutes.
71 Push-Ups/Sit-ups. In a minute for each.

Is there anything else i can use/take to help me achieve my goal?
Diet pills? Not really into taking these but if they help, they help.
Any certain diet plans? Like only fruits and etc... ?
Would crossfit be a good thing to do?

I have cut the weight before, to enlist but due to life I couldn't enlist at the time.
I'm trying to do this fast, but i understand this would take me months and wont happen over a night.
Anything would help me.

And no im not willing to try crack cocaine.

Hey Carlos! I'd love to help in any way I can. First and foremost, please DO NOT consider diet pills! They are not a natural form of weight loss, are potentially addictive, and can have very dangerous side effects! Your best bet if you want to lose weight AND keep it off (the latter, a very important factor to consider) is the combination of a healthy diet and regular exercise. Last December I decided that I really needed to regain control of my health and started doing P90X3. 90 days later I had lost over 20lbs, got my BF% down to where I could see my abs, turned my nutrition around, and felt better than I had in a long, long time. You do NOT have to spend more than 30 min a day on exercise to get the results you want, nor do you need any kind of fad diet. It's all about doing what's most efficient, and the program I followed laid it all out for me very clearly. It worked in ways I can't describe and all I did was follow directions (will post my results pic below). Happy to tell you more about it if you'd like...I'm at jfrofitness@gmail.com or facebook.com/jfrofro.

Btw. Crossfit is pretty intense and might not be the best choice until you're more accustomed to higher intensity resistance exercises.

Talk soon,
Jason
