Texas Woman Ashley Barrett-Carter Loses 110 Pounds To Join Army

“Ms. Barrett-Carter, 21, started contemplating a military career a few years ago. She said her weight was normal during high school, but then she started gaining. She weighed 263 pounds and wore size 22 pants when she first met Sgt. Memolo. The Army’s weight and body fat requirements vary based on height, age and gender. Sgt. Memolo gave Ms. Barrett-Carter a target weight of 160 pounds.” [Link]
