Hello I'm Alecia, 24 years old and finishing up my second bachelor's degree in athletic training. Within the past year I have gained 20 pounds and I play sports go to the YMCA but just can't seem to cut the weight off. It's very frustrating especially since I am going into a healthcare field around athletes. Also,I am trying to drop weight for my friends wedding which is in April 2014, where I am her maid of honor and don't want to look horrible in her wedding photos. Hopefully counting calories and trying to keep decreasing my calorie intake will help me achieve my goal..
