My brother is joining the Navy, after debating on what to do for college, career, etc. He's supposed to drop from 240-250ish, to 210. He needs to drop it by November, so could you guys give any good tips?

It's pretty much free. All you need is on that website or you can grab a copy of the book Body for Life by Bill Phillips. It lays it all out and it's not rocket science. You can find a used copy pretty cheap.

My sister used the Nutrisystem stuff to drop 50ish pounds to join the Coast Guard this year, along with consistent cardio and resistance training. Of course that's a $300 plan or something. There are plenty of free diet and workout plans on the internet, just google them. Or sign up at a bodybuilding/health forum and ask there.

P.P.S. and jogging
pushups, pullups, and situps.
If he starts today with 1 set of 20, 1 set of 10, 1 set of 20. By november he could theoretically be up to 10 sets of 20, 10 sets of 10, 10 sets of 20.
Jogging. start with a 1/4 mile walk, 1/4 mile jog, 1/4 mile walk, everyday for a week. then 1/4 mile walk, 1/2 a mile jog, 1/4 mile walk every day for a week.. and so on.
That's as simple as it can get, without even using weights.
Your brother will be a monster when he signs up.
Edit- And it is VERY VERY IMPORTANT to stretch for at least 10 minutes before starting.

He is going to need determination. Without that nothing else matters.

Diet and exercise. As for what exercise, he needs to work on running, "core" strength (abs and back), and upper body strength for pushups/situps. He doesn't need to bulk up since that would actually hurt him losing weight, but if he starts running now and making a no-compromises switch to only healthy food (in reasonable amounts), he ought to hit his goal without any problem and also be in decent shape for basic training.
As for what constitutes healthy food, that means absolutely NOTHING deep fried. Not one single french fry. Cut out sugar drinks, including gatorade (but real fruit juice is ok in moderate amounts). Eat some sort of fruit or vegetable every meal, and in those meals eat some sort of lean meat no bigger than the size of the palm of his hand, then fill up on veggies, fruit, and non-processed carbs like rice.
He'll feel better and lose weight at a sustainable rate without feeling tired all the time. If he needs menu ideas, check out the phase 2 and phase 3 suggestions from south beach. Skip phase 1 and don't worry about all of the restrictions in phase 2 since he's young and ought to be exercising enough to burn off any excess carbs, but the menu ideas from that plan are very healthy and don't have "bad" foods that a lot of people habitually eat because they just don't know any better.

Thanks guys.
He's looking into some Electrical Design/tech or something for College through the Navy. He can get something like 50 or 150, can't remember which, of college hours.

This is always ROTC...

man 250 is a big. I used to be like 125. This was how i did it. I freakin stay home all day and play game all day, and eat one meal a day!. Though when I needed to put on weight again I went workout like crazy and went on weight gainer, and bounce back to 150lbs+ in 2 months.

I lived on turkey sandwhich's along with free weights and cardio. Jump rope punching bag, jogging. Went from 200lbs. down to 150. But when you stop it all comes back doh! Muscle atrophy is like every 3 days or something like that. Plus alcohol consumption limits muscle growth too I think.

Have him start doing meth....they are always really skinny
