An eighteen-year-old boy decided he had enough of his overweight body and lost nine stone in ten months. He did this all with one purpose in his head, joining the army and help defend the queen’s country. He wants to join the forces and fight against the Taliban in Afghanistan.  When his was there before the lost the weight he was turned down and he said “I couldn’t believe it when I was turned away. It was like all my hopes and dreams had just crumbled in front of me. Therefore he decided to change everything to get to his goal.

I think this is great! I can’t believe he lost this much weight in only then months, and that with only the goal to join the army. Personally I do think it is a waste but that is just because I don’t agree with the war we’re in and why we are fighting. I do understand that at first the army turn him down because you do need to be in shape to join, how else will you sprint somewhere if it is necessary. And when you look at the before and after died posted on the site I get why he got fat, you can’t eat that much fat food.
