When you’re a mom of five, like Kristie, being overweight is a major challenge. And as if 5 kids aren’t enough, Kristie is also working two jobs! Under these busy circumstances, one can’t help but wonder how come she is overweight. Kristie has a strong personality that is only surpassed by her will power - and this makes her a formidable opponent in this contest. Kristie’s weight problems escalated after pregnancy, and they gradually got worse as she had her other children. She loves her family and realises that her obese condition is a potential trigger for various health problems, so the goal of her quest is to get from the original 105kg to a targeted weight of 65kg!

Currently weighing 80.5kg, Kristie seems to be on the right path. However, there is a long way to go until the target is reached, and the initial progress may fluctuate in time. While Kristie’s efforts are not primarily based on getting a toned and nice looking body, she cannot help thinking how important it is to stay fit and feel good about yourself.
