I need to lose 60-75 lbs. or more to get into OCS, any tips or tricks?

I need to lose about 40lbs to get back to my pre-Army body lol Didn't think I'd gain so much weight being a civilian. Good luck!

Run, run, and consistency is the key. Include lean muscle building exercises to increase your metabolism.

My wife and I saw your question and thought we might possibly have me suggest a still relatively little-known possibility that you might well not have heard of at all. On TV here we saw an ad by http://www.portioncontroller.com, [login to see] , about an external no surgical wearable lap band worn in conjunction with a modified Atkins diet. By using it under clinical supervision I was able to go from 320 to about 271-275 lbs in about 6 months; I had originally been 342 lbs and have used it clinging to it as if it were a lifeline if you will for the past year to year and a half. Whether it might be suitable for your circumstances or not of course you'd need to look into; however, it was covered by our civilian insurances for me, and we gather is apparently based on serious published science, I did look through the papers. It consists of a dual belt assembly worn snugly over the lower abdomen pressing on the stretch receptor of the stomach above the navel worn other than when sleeping or in a pool or shower and is actually quite physically comfortable in fact. It needs to be professionally fitted and is a very clinically real device that at least till now has we gather gotten little word of mouth out of our area though we just felt on reading your question that it might potentially be of relevance for your circumstances as well as for others seeking to lose weight under similar time constraints. In any event we hope you find the info useful potentially, and wish you and all here of course a happy holiday and new year by all means of course.
