[QUOTE="dudebro, post: 3520834, member: 11234"] I'm not trying to be a jerk about your weight, but THAT IS your problem. Do NOT drink anything but water, or maybe, water with a lemon or lime squeezed into it. The energy drink like Monster might give you a 20 min burst, but it's usually followed by a crash, which necessitates....another energy drink. And whether you're drinking the no carb ones or not, the calories (or chemicals that simulate the calories) are throwing your hormones off enough to cause you to gain or keep excess weight. When I was in the hub, we would bring the new hires downstairs from HR. The new PT supervisors would jump for the guys who looked like they played offensive line in high school, 6'4" and 240 lbs, figuring the lifting and the pace would be habit for them. Almost every one of these guys wouldn't survive to relief time and would nearly drown in their own sweat. The new hire you wanted, experience taught me, was the former high school wrestler who was 5'9" and a wiry 150 lbs. They would never fatigue. You might not get down to 150, but if you can work to get your weight below 200, the job will become easy, and the future you who goes to the doc to get his blood pressure, kidney function, knees and hips, etc. checked, will thank you.
