I’m 5.91/2 in height. ‘88 went into Army BT weighing 205 after working my ass off all Summer, prior to reporting that September. I did play FB and lifted weights the whole HS experience. Eight weeks, post BT I shrank from the waist up! I had to get new dress jacket and dress shirts issued prior to graduation, as I went from 48-44 and 171/2 neck to 16. My parents the day prior to graduation, didn’t even recognize me while marching right past them. After graduation, Dad cut some kind of rope to help keep my original blue jeans up to go back home to SETX - weighing 170. All mass seemed to come from the waist up. I got down to around 165, by the age 23, while stationed S Korea, as I was more active. Outside of morning PT, I’d play racquetball or soccer in the evenings and sometimes hiking the mountains with my KATUSAS (Korean soldiers). It didn’t take long post Army exit in ‘95 for the weight to add on. No longer running 2-3 miles daily five days a week, as well as the other exercises. Going to UT and eating Blue Bell while watching the 10:00 news and “studying” made me lazy. Not even 5 years post graduation I sent the wife to get three pairs of slacks for work from a particular style/brand. The wife called me from Dillard’s saying you know that 40 is the largest they have on the racks? Bigger than that, you’re going to have to order from the Fat Boy catalog! Eye opening! I’ve tried my best to stay b/t 200-210 ever since. I officiated HSFB for roughly a decade and that forced me each summer to get ready for the afternoons each year, as running around with Jr High kids at 5:00 in SA is hot as Hades! Friday nights were a breeze, as I was an Umpire, so very little running. Now 55, still battle weight issues, but in reality it’s my fault as I like beer too much to lose more. I equate beer to watching sports or playing golf, or even finishing doing yard work and admiring my results. My son and wife are slim/normal BMI. My daughter, bless her heart got my genes for hair and bone structure (big chest). She actually got on Wegovy about 2-3 months ago now that she’s teaching post-graduation. I feel for anyone facing weight issues. Even though “heavy” most of my adult life, I’ve usually been in decent shape for my size, because even two years ago I could lace up a pair of shoes and go run two miles. I’ve found walking in the evening 45-60 min is enough to maintain where I’m at 205-210, which is still bad according to BMI, but my Doctor says you’re fine with activity level, but cut back on the beers! Hook’em!!!
