This is an impossible question to answer with any kind of accuracy: I have worked with treated lumber for about thirty years. Some of it is so wet from the pressure treating that it "splashes" when you nail it. It is incredibly heavy! Some has been stored out of the rain - and is old (and dryer) and is, relatively, light.
The heaviest treated lumber I've used has still floated. A 6 x 6 x 8' post has a volume of 5.5/12 x 5.5/12 x 8 = 1.7 cu ft... that much water weighs 101 #. The wettest you get may weigh 90#. I'll predict an average of about 75# each.
Bring a strong friend. Wear gloves. Be prepared to grunt.

I work with 6 by 6 by 10' and 12' exclusively, and wet, they are often close to 200#. But if you are going to place them in the ground 3 or 4 feet, you have to also be able to pick them up to align them vertically. It is a lot of work, but I did it...and I am 66...you can also. Definitely require good work gloves though.

First of all change you diet eat health and less calories then needed to maintain current body weight , there are many calculators online to figure it out. Lots of cardio to burn the fat and lean you down , also weight lifting do 3 sets of 15 reps it will make you look toned and lean plus muscle burns fat.
