Ok, so here's the sitch:
I am 18 years old, and this is my senior year in high school. I am 6'2", and weigh 224lb, but I'm not really "fat", I guess I'm just heavy-set, kinda like Bane...
I am planning to enter the U.S. military in June, after I graduate. Either Air Force or possibly Navy, and I want to fly UAVs (drones). My ASVAB score that I took at school was 84, which I guess is pretty great.
My problem is that I'm not super confident in my physical prowess, and I'd like to change that. I'm NOT looking to lose a ton of weight, or get COMPLETELY ripped, I just want to trim and slim some body fat.
Any suggestions Flood? Less salt? Personal experience? Please help meh!

Just start slow. If you aren't physically active now just try going for a 30 min walk a few times a week. After that go to jogging or weight training. Nutritionally I advise starting slow, if this is your first time dieting. DRINK WATER! I cannot advise this enough. Drinking a gallon a day will help with appetite control and flush out impurities in the body along with getting rid of water weight from sodium levels. Start slow just get rid of the obvious bad things like cookies and sweets then change the bad carbs sources like chips to whole grains. Losing the weight is one thing but adjusting your life style to the point where it never comes back is the battle, that I still struggle with too. Pm if you have more questions.
