Sure you can. My hubs went in at 220 at the age of 17. Came out of Boot weighing in at 169. :D

Yes you can go into the army being overweight but I must warn you about something. The army is not nice about this issue. My friend had a brother who was overweight and he decided to join the army. The Sargent looked him over and put him on a very strict diet. The diet was no food, only water and constant exercise. That overweight man became very very slim. Just thought I should let you know.

No soda, candy of any kind, small burgers, walk and run an hour a day will help you get that ten lbs off soon. Take vitamins to ensure you get all those you need. I walk and run 4.5 miles a day and lost about 5 lbs a week. Good Luck

you must meet standards before you can enlist. you cannot be overweight by more than a couple of pounds, and then you must be under Body Fat limitations.

I know that with the AF they will not take you until you are at the wieght limit. My husband had to lose THREE pounds before they let him in.
