287, hope that is a tall #, I know not being tall seems to make the chart work against me....
and my allowed weight has kept going down.............. inversely proportional to my actual weight
I am close to my limit, but never failed the weight.... and always get an excellent score on the PRT.
It can be done.... (dropping ##s) I have known a couple guys that dropped 50+ lbs in a few ( 4-6???) months... the key is small meals, 5 + times a day, do not eat late.... exercise your @$$ off ! Jogging really burns calories, but use a bike and treadmill etc. also, to save the knees.
One of the guys I worked with in Norfolk (250lb) got down to 187 quick... AND later got
accepted for ECP.... (paid to go to college full time to finish degree) all before his first 4 years were up.
