Christy’s Slideshow 2008 – Present
Various photos from 2008 to present (mouse-over-image: click left or right arrows).
The photos in the slideshow is a retrospective from prior to my pregnancy in 2008 when I was 150lbs to present. During that time, I gained 63lbs, 20lbs from the pregnancy (4/2009) and another 40lbs due to various health issues including low thyroid. My weight topped out at 213lbs at it's height (2010 - 2013) as I struggled for more than 4 years including cycling through doctors, treatments, and drugs. Now, I am healthy, happy and back down to my pre-pregnancy weight and enjoying life. The answer for me was JERF (Just Eat Real Food) and for most people it'll always be the food because food is the catalyst that drives all biochemical actions in the body.
