Lowest weight since May 1981, When I graduated Marine corps basic training



Recommended Posts

In May of 1981, I graduated from MCRD Parris Island, SC at 187lbs. Today, May 31 2011, 30 years later, I stepped on the scale and was the exact same weight. I have chased that number ever since. I stuggled my entire enlistment to maintain the maximum allowable weight for my height (197 lbs). I have not at this weight since shortly after that time. I might not be as green or as mean as I was at 19 but I am just as lean. (perhaps leaner) It feels really good. This was a personal goal that I had set at the onset of my journey. Anything lower from here on out is a new low weight as an adult.

Way to go Kurt, that is fantastic. After I saw your pictures a while back, you become an inspiration to me and it has really kept me going. My surgery was 5-25-11 and I am well on my way. That is one heck of a goal you reached.
