Alright, time for a little background story.
Since elementary school I was always chubby/fat, (180lbs by 5th grade) unfortunately this trend continued to get worse until I completely topped out at around 315 mid Junior year in Highschool. My dream was to join the Marine Corps, due to my dad being a Marine and the vast amount of respect they earn,(I've never earned any/had any). So since that fateful day almost 2 years ago I felt it was time for a change, I started my change by giving up soda (from that mid-year til I graduated High School, June of this year), I dropped from 315lbs~ to mid 280s. Still not enough, so I figured if I wanted to live my dream and earn the respect by being able to join the Marines, I had to start to work hard on my dream. Lost about 20lbs from June-early Oct(mid 260s then). Still not enough so I've been pushing myself just so I could continue what I want to do.
Right now I'm a full time college student/work 25-30~hrs a week/go to the gym for about an hour a day (50min straight hard workout)
Current: (last time I checked 220~ will update when I go to the gym after school)
Goal: 195
What I've been doing:
eating healthier(no soda/junk food at all)
cardio/occasional weight lifting
So I still need to drop about 25ish lbs so I can achieve my dream of joining The Marines. This is just going to be my little insight and log for the next couple months while I work over that last hurdle. Wish me luck
