After graduating High School I weighed 230 lbs. Dieting did nothing so I started drinking much more water than usual which helped a lot. I wasn't a big runner but I'd go walking at night when it was cool. Soon I got used to that and started running, more and more often. When the summer was over I weighed 170 lbs, not even kidding. I'm still suprised at what determination can do. Just remember to be routine or it will all have been for nothing, you won't get to relax in Basic Training. Not trying to sound silly, but also try and go to the bathroom more often, get used to clearing out your entire system. Really helps. If you are having a hard time, get other people your age to go running with you. Keep in contact with your recruiter; attend the weekly poolie functions at the recruiting station. Be able to do at least 4 pull-ups and run 3 miles without stopping. If unable to do that, don't worry they will work with you but it will make it a lot easier on yourself. Marine Corps Basic is the most difficult (13 weeks long) but the process is more mental than physical. Go in there with a good attitude about everything, dont take it TOO seriously. When your platoon gets punished it's usually because of someone else who can't take it anymore and screws up. Don't be that guy. Good luck!
