Hospitalised At 400lbs – Look At Me Now | BRAND NEW ME

AFTER turning 21 in a hospital bed, Christa Sierra decided to change her ways. Christa, of San Marcos, Texas, had struggled with her weight all her life and was diagnosed as diabetic as a teenager. At 21, she contracted MRSA and the hospital stay prompted her to change. Christa’s weight had ballooned to over 400lbs and she relied on a walker before working on her nutrition and building her strength to then work out. Five months into her weight loss journey, her mum Georgia, dad Jonny and brothers Austin and Jarred were also inspired to lose weight and together the family have shed 560lbs. Christa herself has lost 198lbs and qualified as a personal trainer, helping others to get fit too. Christa told Truly: “Fitness has become a huge part of my life and I absolutely love it because I feel like it saved me.”
