Weight Loss Success Story: Kristin C.

I'm happy to introduce Kristin C. to you today. She has lost more than a hundred pounds while adapting healthy habits after a serious wake up call that landed her in the hospital. I love her practical approach and encouraging advice. 

Tell Us A Little Bit About Your Weight Struggle
I struggled with anxiety and depression for many years. Eating helped me calm down.

What Was Your Wake-Up Call Or "A-Ha Moment" That Caused You To Really Commit Yourself To Succeeding?
My a ha moment was when I was hospitalized with supraventricular tachycardia (an abnormally rapid heart rhythm) and a heartbeat of 256.

How Have Your Eating Habits Changed Since Beginning Your Journey? What Did You Eat Before And What Are You Eating Now?
My eating habits have changed massively. I used to eat a lot of fast food because it was easier than cooking. Now I prep my meals and eat mostly fruit and vegetables.

What Is The Difference In Your Fitness Before You Started And Now?
I can go longer distances and not be short of breath. I can go 8 to 9 miles and still be ready for more.

What Has Been The Biggest Change/Payoff For You So Far?
Going down from a size 22 to a size 8.

How Much Weight Have You Lost? How Long Did It Take You To Lose It?
I've lost 103 pounds and it's taken me about 18 months.
