U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Roza Kowal, Provincial

U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Roza Kowal, Provincial Reconstruction Team Paktya supply specialist from Chicago, shows off the weight she has lost during her deployment to Afghanistan, Oct. 20. With her belt removed from her multi-cam trousers, she depicts what losing 40 pounds looks like. She credits her weight loss to a change in diet and a consistent exercise regimen that includes a lot of running. Since the beginning of her deployment four months ago, Kowal has run more than 250 miles.
