I read this Washington Post article last night, and it reminded me of a couple of threads I've seen about 11Ws trying to get back down to fighting weight.

I hope the story of these O-lineman from Navy working to make weight before they get commissioned in May might inspire a few folks to keep working at it. They also have to be able to run a mile-and-half in under 10.5 minutes, which is a tall order for most of them.

A 6-foot-5 man such as Gaston should weigh 226 pounds, according to the Navy’s Body Composition Assessment. Gaston started the football season at 295. Right guard Ben Tamburello is 6-2 and weighed 290. Navy standards call for a man that height to tip the scales at no more than 211 pounds.
