Christina's Story

This is the blog for Christina and Maye who have decided to give Healthe Trim a try for 30 days. We each have different goals as to why we want to lose the weight.

My reason for losing:

Long term goal-David, my husband, and I are going to start trying for a baby in the next couple of months. I know that weight is a factor in baby making so I want to make sure that I am healthy so that I can have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. If I lose a few pounds before I get pregnant, I'm hoping that will make it easier for me to lose weight after I've had a baby. I'm not looking to be super thing or anything, I just want to be able to go out and be confidant in myself. I've always felt like the frumpy ugly friend. I worry constantly about how I look and I feel fat all day every day. I rarely have a day where I feel sexy in what I'm wearing.

Short term goal-In April I am taking my husband to Vegas for his birthday. My goal is to be able to wear something I feel good in during that weekend. We made a deal today that if I lose the weight and stick to my plan so I can be atleast 2 sizes smaller, he will buy me a dress from Anthroplogie. I love their clothes but I've never been able to fit in them.
I'm 200 pounds. I'm not looking at the scale. I want to just feel good with myself and be healthy. I want to be able to wear the pretty clothes and summer dresses.

How I'm judging- Like I said...I'm not looking at a scale. Numbers intimidate me so I don't want to stress over losing 5 pounds Tuesday but gaining 2 on Thursday. I want to be able to wear tank tops in the summer so I'm going until I feel comfortable enough to do so. I'm looking to lose at least 2 sizes. If I lose anymore than that, that would be fantastic but I have to think small for the time being. If I start off with too big a goal, I will get frustrated easily and give up.

I will be posting pictures, videos and anything else I find inspirational. I'll also be posting recipes, articles and much much more! I'm so excited to be starting this and moving forward with my weight loss plan!
