I was born and raised in Central California. I had two passions for most of my life, horseback riding and food. Riding horses and eating food comforted me from the numbness I had developed from being overweight. When I reached High School, I also reached my heaviest weight of 220 lbs. Unfortunately, High School did not leave me with many pleasant memories. I remember one day walking through the busy halls to my next class, when I accidentaly bumped into a fellow classmate. She turned to me with a look of digust and said, “Why don’t you just go eat a Twinkie?” It was at that point that I plunged deeper into the abyss of my shame and insecurities and I turned more toward my horse and favorite foods.

A few months before my High School graduation, my family decided to buy a gym membership near my home. I had no want or desire to go to a gym and be around the “gym rats” looking the way I did. I knew I needed to lose weight but I was still so numb to the emotions involving it. I did not want to face it. After I went on the family tour of the gym, I realized that it wasnt a box of perfect bodies. There were large people, small people, young people, older people and everybody in between. Seeing this gave me some hope, I wasn’t alone! Maybe this is possible!

I started with the simple things, elipticals, treadmils and basic resistance machines. I went consistently after school a few days a week with the encouragement of my family. And wouldn’t you know, after a few weeks of exercise, I lost 5 pounds! I can’t even explain that initial excitement! Although I had a long way to go, I saw the light at the end of the tunnel. The commitment and hard work was going to pay off, I just knew it. I was going to make it happen.

After a couple of months, I noticed myself not craving the junk food that I had once felt I “needed.” I now wanted less junk and more healthy food. At my Graduation, I had lost a total of 15 pounds and had never felt more proud. And that was just the beginning. I eventually got bored of the eliptical machines and attempted to run on the treadmil. At first, I could not run more than a minute or two, but I worked at it and fell in love with running. Today, running for an hour straight is just a normal day and I love every second of it! I ran my first half marathon in 2008 and have done several more since then.

Khrystynna Before Picture:

Today I am proud to say that I have lost 60 pounds and have kept it off for 5 years. I am a much happier, confident and optimistic person, and I look forward to any new challenge set in my way. In early 2011, I recieved my Personal Fitness Trainer Certification through AFAA. It is my hope and dream to be able to help and inspire people reach their goals of weight loss and fitness to become the person you know you can be! Anything is possible!
