edited November 2024 in Introduce Yourself
I am usually very active, but a neck injury and subsequent surgery have put me out of action for almost a year. I have been hovering around the same weight the whole time, but the Army considers me to be 40 pounds overweight and that my body fat percentage is out of tolerance. I am ready - through diet and exercise - to becoming more fit and more capable to do what the Army needs from me.

    Thanks. Let's see if I can convert "good attitude" into weight loss...
