When Alicia Rancier, 30, (@alicewolves on Instagram) went away to college, she fell off her healthy habits.

Not only did this cause her weight gain, but her health took a turn for the worse.

Now, Alicia is a certified personal trainer who is using her experience to help others. Read her inspiring story.
