I am having trouble deciding whether or not to go active duty or reserves. I am located in Raleigh right now but moving back home to the Hampton Roads area. I am having trouble losing the last 5 pounds needed to make weight also.

If you are 5 pounds over then you need to drop 10-15 to be on the safe side.

Until then you don't need to make the decision regarding active or reserves.

5 months and 42 pounds gone, I too had the ultimate battle to lose the excess weight. I did it and I have never looked back. Dont get frustrated because if you stick with it it will go.
