The National Guard leader of New Jersey needs to lose some weight and Gov. Chris Christie gave him 90 days to do it, according to Yahoo! News. Air Force Brig. Gen. Michael L. Cunniff has avoided various physical fitness tests and has been reprimanded by the Pentagon for his weight problems. "The governor has expressed directly to the general that his failure to meet that standard or to provide notification of his formal reprimand is both unacceptable and disappointing," spokesperson Kevin Roberts said.

It's not known how many pounds the general must shed in the next 90 days, but in 2013 his physical fitness test shows that his waist size was 4.5 inches bigger than the standard, Yahoo! News reported.

"I do recognize that military members and leaders, like myself, are held to a higher standard. I take this matter seriously and am taking the necessary steps to remedy this issue," Cunniff said in a statement.

Christie himself has some experience with weight problems. He underwent surgery in 2013 to help him regulate how much he is eating, according to The Daily Mail. Christie is currently campaigning in the Republican primary election.

Cunniff stated that he has enlisted the aid of a nutritionist and started a "rigorous physical fitness program," he said, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.
