Christina Phillips weighed 660 pounds when she was 22 years old. Her battle with obesity started at a young age; by the time she was twelve, she weighed 290 pounds. It’s difficult to believe the pictures taken before and after her tremendous weight reduction journey show the same person, but they do.
Christina’s weight problems began in childhood and were made worse by the constant conflicts between her parents, which made her turn to food as a coping mechanism for stress. There was no control over the type or amount of food she was eating back then. She had a supportive partner who didn’t care about her weight, despite this.
Christina didn’t start experiencing significant health problems until she was eighteen, when she almost stopped walking due to excruciating leg discomfort brought on by her excess weight and found it difficult to get out of bed.
When she joined the “I Weigh 660 lbs.” initiative and finished it, good fortune smiled upon her. Her gastric bypass surgery marked the start of her weight-loss quest.
Christina lost an incredible 550 pounds thanks to two years of intense workouts and stringent nutrition. Excess skin has to be removed in the last stage. Her metamorphosis was complete when, soon after reducing weight, she not only got her health back but also became a mother to a healthy child.
Christina Phillips has changed so drastically on the inside that she can no longer recognize the person she was.
