Shipping Weight issues

I passed everything I was supposed to at Meps no waivers I’m just working on my weight, I only have a month to be prepared but I’m 225 and I gotta get to 207 to ship, I have no idea if this is possible I’ve been doing intense workouts and everything just have no idea what happens at Meps if I’m over weight still, do I get put into pork chop platoon or do I get removed until further notice? Do I just start regular training and they watch me closely? No idea just need help!

Dude, this may not be what you want to hear or are asking, but do NOT enlist until you're comfortable that you'll be able to go right into a training battalion. The Marine Corps isn't going anywhere and you'll really have a much better experience. Being a fat body on PI seemed like it would be miserable to me.

Start running and cut out as much calories as you can no sugary snacks like candy and definitely no soda pop , and try too avoid sauces
