I am a former soldier. Also the proud wife of a retired 1SG. I lost 30 lbs over 3 years ago using this app and going low-carb.

Hi! I'm signing my Indiana Army National Guard contract this week and swearing in. I know Basic Training is going to be very difficult physically, and I'm trying to prepare for it by pushing myself now to better fitness. For everyone who has already gone through what I'm facing in the next couple months, what advice do you…
