NEED TO LOOSE A FEW POUNDS??? I KNOW SOMEONE WHO DOES!!

I remember when I was a young lad, OHH about 20 years ago. At that time I wanted to get away from all the drugs and evil that was presenting itself to me here and there and seeing that I was too smart for college I decided the military was the best bet for me. So I and friend who will remain nameless (Bryan) went to the recruiting centers and started to speak to the recruiters. At one point my folks sat me down and said go Air Force... I think it was because I was already flying high.. My friend (Bryan) and I went to a recruiter and spoke with them and we decided we both wanted to be MP's (Military Police) The recruiter told me I would have to loose some weight. I asked him "how much?" He said "30lbs, how long will that take you?" I was naive at the time and knew little or nothing about weight loss and figured uhmm" a pound a day....uhmm times 30 days....uhmmm carry the 1 uhmm.....It will take me 30 days!" He looked at me like I was Nuckin Futs!! So went home and immediately started to diet. I took this big huge 5 gallon pot out of the garage and filled it with cabbage, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, anytype of vegetable you could think off went into that pot and then I would boil it and that's what my diet consisted of for the next two to three weeks.....I went jogging and did like 200 to 300 situps every day.. And sure enough I was young enough and my body responded well to this type of erratic change and the weight just fell off. I know what your saying that soup was total carbs... But yes it worked, I think because I almost shit myself into an early grave...LOL To make a long story short I got to a few days before weigh in and was at 214 lbs and needed to be at 212 lbs. The day and night before my physical and weigh in I was at 213'ish and was wondering what would happen so all I ate was a pickle.... I was load up with Aqua-ban Water pills for menstruating women who don't want to retain water...I had my system so out of wack that when I gave them urine sample it was brown!! It looked like a shot of whiskey!! That was do to all the iron in my system from the water pills.
Needless to say I made it in and always had a rough time with the weight issue but was never fat!! I lifted weights and kept in shape except one time I just started trying to get out of the service on the fat boy program cause I was so sick of the service.. But I toughed it out and pushed on They ended up raising my max weight to 235 lbs because of my shape..
Well I know someone else who is going through the exact same thing right now....It is just so uncanny how this is happening to my son Androooo...He is scheduled to leave on Tuesday of next week and is right a this weight if not a little bit over.. So he is a wreck. But if I can do it anyone can so we will talk him through. He is not fat. Little soft in some spots but who isn't. So for the next few days He is creating caloric deficit and increasing his cardio-vascular exercising in order to burn off that 2-3 lbs and not have to worry about being sent home....
So lets give him some words of wisdom and keep his head pointed in the correct direction...Focus boy!! No carbs! No fruits! excercise chicken breast, and water, eggs, Some prunes early in the morning so you burn off the carbs in them and they will help you evacuate your system (Go Poo Poo). Lets help him out people so now he can realize how bread is not really our friend and lets give him the encouragement he needs to pull through this one...More updates as I receive them...
Peace Bitches
