As seen at FDIC... me thinks there is a serious problem with the US fire service

Passed on to me from the "sights of FDIC."

It's time we start hitting the gym and not the fast food guys. Cutting out soda, replacing it with water, and sugars/fatty foods for fruits and vegetables will contribute to significant weight loss even without working out. Adding a training regiment of light duty, walks/jogs around a track, or even a stair climb/ decent in your own firehouse/home, will significantly improve your health.

I was always a fit guy, but recently I saw myself starting to get overweight. Went from 5'8" at 155 lbs, and about 10-12% body fat, to 173 with about 16-18% body fat. I immediately stopped eating and drinking crap, and lost almost 10lbs without working out in a month.

Time to get with the program guys. It's totally doable, and everyone should be jumping on this train. If not for you, how about your family.

It's a sad thing that sizes that big are even necessary,
