I'm 19, I'm 6'2 to 6'4 depending on who measures
I weigh about 295
I'm not a complete butterball or anything, most of my weight is in my chest
I am built large. very broad shoulders, I have never been a skinny boy but never a fat boy either.

anyways I am joining the NAVY, my recruiter says I need to drop 50 pounds or more by july or aug.
What are good diets. good excercise routines. I have to focus on losing weight not bulkin up with muscle.
any suggestions I am goin to completly do away with soda and things as I am used to drinkin a 12 pack of coke a day.

But I want this really bad, any helpful tips>?

If you lose 50 pounds that would put you down to about 250, which is still quite a bit for your height. Diet and a lot of exercise are your only recourse. Don't starve yourself. I'd reccomend seeing a dietician. If you have a weight issue now, you will also have one while you are in the Navy.
It might be the hardest thing you have ever done in your short life is to get in shape, lose weight and continue to be a member in the best Military in the world.
