    50 pounds down since December, right after Christmas. I started a weight loss competition with a good friend of mine at our local YMCA (we are currently in first place, yay! - ends in June). I eat at or around 1200-1500 calories per day and I exercise 5-6 times per week sometimes 2 times a day depending on my schedule. I do Zumba, Body Pump (strength training) and recently started couch to 5k and signed up for my first 5k in August! :) I have found that my journey is more of a mental journey than physical....that has been the biggest struggle for me. I love to work out and having a work out buddy makes all the difference!!!
