<p>I’m a female, and at first during Beast I gained some weight (due to gaining muscle, I presume), and then lost a couple pounds, but nothing too dramatic. I always managed to get enough to eat, somehow (gotta love the PB&J sandwiches!).</p>
<p>Don’t worry - I had to lost some weight as well before getting officially admitted. It’s hard to meet the weight standards sometimes, especially the short folks, like myself. But don’t worry - West Point won’t kick anyone out if they’re a bit overweight. There’s the ‘taping’ process (to make sure your body fat percentage is less than 30%) which a lot of people have to do, and if that doesn’t work, there’s the Weight Control Program, where basically you monitor what you eat, from what I’m told. But they always try to help you fall within the requirements. They don’t want to lose cadets because of weight if they’ve already made it through. 
But until then, definitely try to lose the weight, and you’ll be good to go.</p>
