Christina Phillips used to live her life based on how much she weighed. Everyday jobs were hard for her because she weighed 708 pounds, and she lost her independence. But Christina’s life changed in a big way after she was on “My 600-lb Life” in 2014.
Christina started a journey that would change her life with the help of Dr. Nowzaradan, a straightforward bariatric surgery. She had gastric bypass surgery and decided to start living a different life. She learned how to eat healthily and limit her portions.
Christina was so determined that she lost an amazing 536 pounds and now weighs a healthy 171 pounds. She could enjoy easy pleasures like taking her nephew to the park or shopping now that she was free and on her own.
Christina lost weight in more ways than one. She felt better emotionally as well. She got out of situations that were holding her back, like her marriage, and learned how to be independent. She began dating Shane, a helpful friend, and finally moved in with him.
Christina continued her journey and had surgery to remove skin, which made her feel better about herself. She learned to love her new body and use clothes to show who she was.
Christina became a mother in 2021. She said it felt like everything had come full circle. She used to count on other people for her basic needs, but now she had a child who needed her.
People all over the world admired Christina’s story. Fans sent her a lot of congratulations on social media, praising her determination and amazing change.
A friend wrote, “I’m amazed that someone can lose that much weight; I can’t even lose 10 pounds.” Someone else said, “Wow, you look AMAZING!” Christina’s story shows how strong willpower can be and has inspired many others to get through their own problems.
