Trying to lose weight to join the AF

Hi:

I decided to join the AF for the OTS, and when I finally decided to sign up I found something you have to be fit in order to join (I thought it would be just a matter of doing all that stuff required situps/running/pushups but NO!

Well I am 5'8'' and 190lbs and the recruiter told me today that I have to be less than 164lbs. So thats 27lbs that have to go.

I work out, go to the gym 4 times a week.

1. 30 mins of cardio (stair machine / bike/ walking)alternate during days

2. 45mins-1hr of weights (i work out a major group each day - alternating too)

That sounds good according to me - i could be in shape with all that exercise, BUT i love eating everything (from coke, candy, chocolates, cookies, well all that junk food - i love that - guess i have to be apart from that for a while or for good)

I have a problem with my knees, so I cant run or lift much weight when training legs. But Ok, I decided that I want to lose that weight and then apply to the AF!

Ok, I think I can lose those pounds in 2 months approximately, what do you all think? Could it be possible?

If you have any advice please let me know!
