KRISTA FRANCIS lost 248lbs after becoming too overweight to fit through the door whilst carrying her son. Krista has struggled with her weight since she was a teenager, weighing 386lbs at her heaviest. The breaking point for Krista came when she was unable to carry her son, Ezra, who was born with cerebral palsy, through the bathroom door having to call her husband for help.

I used to work with her. 😁 I can honestly say she is an amazing woman with a heart of gold. And I am so proud of her! What a true inspiration! ❤❤❤
KIM!!!!!! Thank you! I hope you are still writing those books, I'd sure love to read them! I am so excited you got to see my story! Sure miss you!
@@kristavick7356 Krista you look so great. I bet you feel happier and healthier. You did it!!
@@kristavick7356 Is that you? Just want to tell you that you are amazing! I'm sure you will inspire many people with your story.
@@mitch3443ful I am most absolutely! It has been such a rewarding journey to health, and I truly have enjoyed the process. When we practice dicipline it ultimately spills into other areas of our lives. Truly thankful to be here
@@nicanorneto9697 Yes it is! Thank you, I truly hope this helps inspire someone out there!
The goal I set for myself was to lose 209 pounds. I've lost 186 of that so I have 23 more pounds to lose (I'm 203 pounds right now, but was 389 at my heaviest). It's inspiring to see others who had a seemingly impossible goal in front of them succeed. She looks great!
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE WEIGHT LOSS AND YOUR CONTINUE JOURNEY.
I LOVE hearing this! You are totally rocking it! You are an inspiration and I would love to see your journey to health! Find me on insta so I can follow you! instagram.com/kristafrancis1

Thank you so much!!
@@kristavick7356 wow..u r so welcome! I didn't expect to get a reply from u! I know losing weight is difficult. I lost 78 pounds and have the remaining lose skin. U really do look amazing and Im sure ur an inspiration to ur kids and others.
If there was a go fund me attached to this to help with skin removal i would donate........PLEASE put one up, she deserves that gift!!
What a GREAT Idea!! Let’s get the word out!!
Oh thats beautiful x
She never said that she's not able to afford it! Also, tattoos don't come cheap and her house doesn't look like she's strapped for 💵...

I used to be really fat. Maybe not as fat as Krista, but still I was on the verge of developing serious health conditions. I remember not being able to tie my shoelaces and my sleep suffered as well. My life changed when I finally set my mind to the thinking that anything is possible if you decide so. I took a meal plan to start with. I created it online, on Dietaruze, which was super helpful to me. I didn't have to worry about calories, macros, nutrients and all that stuff, I just focused on walking long distances and exercising after I got on a level where I could do some simple workouts. I hope my story will inspire you to do the same. To change your body you must first change your mind!
You could've worded this better

@@kristavick7356 good job your weight loss journey is so inspiring!!!
Wow great quote
Congrats !! Any woman reading this who
Wants to loose weight, I just want to say don’t be scared of the weights ... resistance training has so many benefits to helping strengthen our joints, helps keep bones strong and prevent osteoporosis, we burn more calories resistance training than just cardio alone ... educate yourself and get started... when it gets tough don’t rely on motivation alone , that won’t get you far, we must learn to be disciplined!! Good vibes to all ❤️
She is amazing...well done u... If u didn't find the strength for urself at first, u found it for ur kids... That's what a good mum should do . Well done!!! really!
Thank you! It has been worth every single moment!!

Not only does she love her new body she worked for, she also appreciates the stretch marks extra skin and everything that came with her progress I'm so happy for her snd what she's done for herself and her family
Thank you, it has been worth every moment, every struggle, all the skin, it makes me unequivocally human and I have worked my buns off to be here and for that I am so grateful!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! YOU'RE AN INSPIRATION TO ME. I'M ON A WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY AS WELL. IT'S DEFINITELY HARD.
Best of luck, u can definitely do it 💪

@@Exolblink616 thank you so much for the encouraging words.
@@igfit.brit_runs9108 thank you so much.
I am so proud of you , even though I don’t personally know you, but the dedication you have to better yourself is so amazing . I also lost 130 pounds and I feel great . Thank you so much for sharing your story , and congratulations for everything you have accomplished.
I love the fact that she did it for her children.
she did it because she was too fat to go through a door - with her kid in arms.. well..
Children born to obese mothers are at higher risk of developing obesity, coronary heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and asthma in adulthood. Increasing clinical and experimental evidence suggests that maternal obesity also affects the health and function of the offspring brain across the lifespan. Her selfish choices were a contributing factor to her child's special needs and cerebral palsy. "He had many surgeries over the years and he needed a mom that was going to take care of him appropriately". It's good she's taking care of him after what she did to him, but she shouldn't have choose to cause a life time of damage to her child in the first place.
Why give her kids cereal for breakfast?
Finally!!!! Someone who does something inspiring!!! I have seen a person who wants to be blue, vampire couple, tanning siblings.... you lady, are an inspiration!!!
I absolutely love what she says about her loose skin. She is a gem to herself.
This is so upsetting I can only imagine how bad it was for the mom and boy felt about their situation I feel for them.
I liked that she is comfortble with her excess skin n accept it as a byproduct
She did this for her kids, she's such a Great Mother!🙏
Awesome job💪🏾👏🏾she looks really good! When your determined to reach your goal you won't give up! Way to go!!🔥
Yas girl!! Congrats, you're an inspiration to us all!
Thank you for your kind words!
She’s such a badass and an inspiration!! I’m currently on a journey to lose 150 lbs. I’ve been overweight my entire life but I didn’t become obese until I went off to college. It started with being only 30-50 lbs and gradually climbed over the years until my mobility started becoming affected. It’s been a challenge to love myself after this significant weight gain but Ive recently learned that loving myself means taking care of my body and eating right. I’m only on the first week of actually working out but I’m hoping that a year from now I’ll be able to thrive and be as awesome as this lady here! Kudos to anyone trying to lose weight and be their best self! You’re awesome and we can do it!!!
It's possible without weight loss surgery. I took off 106 lbs changing my diet. It's not willpower .. it's "what" motivates you.
Christie A diet plan plzzzz
@@neverfinding2703 Low carbs
Yes with Low Carbs! Try eliminating junk foods as possible. Whole foods, along with healthy fats like Avocado, nuts or egg. Fish is also a good source of protein, makes you feel satiated
Try doing Intermittent Fasting as well! Keep up the good work!
@@chrissttiiee you need carbs .they transfer into energy ! Lean protein ,and complex carbohydrates !
Good for her. She looks amazing now. If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything. The only thing that can stop you, is yourself.
TERRANCE OUT
One of the most inspirational weight loss stories, Truly has ever featured! Thanks for the inspiration
Thank you so much! It has been worth fighting for!
I always admire people who set a goal and stick with it no matter how hard it can be. Great job 👍
There’s just something about doing it the way it’s supposed to be done through hard work. Amazing story and very happy for you and your family. Inspiring!!
I’m inspired by her. It is NOT easy to change a lifelong habit
What a beautiful love story. She's such an inspiration. Gorgeous woman.
The human mind carries a spark of divinity.
I started my weight loss journey again and I love this programme such an inspiration🥰💞
Yay!! Congratulations on getting back on it! Lord knows it can be a struggle, but you are worth every moment!
@@kristavick7356 it is darling, thanks 😌
She has done amazing! I hope she can get the skin removal surgery so that she can firmly put the past behind her. Such an inspiration.
That is serious surgery
My mind is BLOWN!!!! This woman is incredible to overcome her food addiction and look not just good but phenomenal! The muscles she has in her arms and legs are is so impressive. She could totally do a figure/bikini competition if she has skin removal surgery. I hope she can raise enough money to get it, she deserves is after all that hard work. What an amazing and inspiring story!!!!!!
Good job and very inspiring! Shoutout to Anytimefitness!
Right! Love me some Anytimefitness!!
Awesome! Very hard work you put in there girl! Inspires me to get back to healthy eating and sports and keep of the extra weight for good.
Been up and down with it for some years, doubted the possibility of shaping my body after having 3 girls, weights on and off.
Thank you for your video...shows guts and honesty.💪🏻
*Fantastic woman, what an inspiration, this is what you call a winner in life - Her kids should be so proud of their mom!*
Wow!!! You are driven...all the best to you on your lifes journey.
Shame man, the part that hurts me is when she says she couldn't fit through the door 😭😢but now look at her
Kudos to you, Krista! You look terrific. I know your whole family is proud of you.
I need to stop pretending im okay with my body. I am over weight and I want to become healthy and lose this weight for me and for my son. This is such a beautiful story.

love seeing these videos. just proof that all it takes is to change your mind set and put effort in.
God bless. To those struggling pray to God and ask him to help you. I'm sure he will. Make sure. Bless
Outstanding example of self growing and goal achieving! You are so beautiful ))
To be honest loose skin is badass shows your battle scars.
no it isnt. lol its ugly.
@@deathrager2404 Thanks for making me lose faith in humanity I am on the edge of depression.
@@mistycloud4455 keep it real. stop living in a bubble.
@@mistycloud4455 You shouldn't have faith in the first place, that's where you went wrong. As he said, keep it real.
Better to have loose skin than heart disease or other medical issues that come from being overweight. I hope you conquer whatever battles you're facing because you can definitely do it! Don't be discouraged by negative words or negative people, especially cowards with keyboard courage who type hurtful words that they would never say in person.
Her motivation is selfless. Truly inspiring
She's doing so amazing im fuckin envy
Your story is truly inspirational. You encourage and motivate me to continue on my own weight loss journey.
Thank you so much, You are going to rock it, and accomplish every goal you have! Keep fighting the good fight, it is so worth it and so are you!
She’s a strong confident beautiful woman
Awesome mom keep doing what your doing. Your an inspiration 💪🏼❤️
Thank you!!
Here I am trying to lose 10 pounds & it’s been the hardest thing to do! She is definitely an inspiration
Same here.
WOW! You are such a huge inspiration and role model! Can you please share how you changed your diet and how you started the weight training?' Am very interested in your story! You look absolutely amazing!
During entire lockdown I saw weight loss videos on this channel and it kept me motivated and as a result by December I lost 12 kgs and now I'm on the way losing more excess weight and gain more muscle 😇
Holy crap CONGRATULATIONS! You are rocking it!
PERFECT EXAMPLE OF SUPER MOM AND SUPER WOMEN ❤
This is what motivation and inspiration looks like. She looks so amazing and unrecognisable after the weightloss. Well done to her.
Thank you so much! It's been so wonderful!
@@kristafrancis6778 omg you replied?! You are so welcome! Honestly you truly are an inspiration and have proven that hard work does pay off and you doing that has shown me that if you can do it, then so can I ❤❤
@@nazifaali95 You certainly CAN! I never expected to have come this far. If you told me then, I would be in this place now, I would never have believed it. The key to success is not giving up. If you fall, and you will, get back up immediately and keep going. Not tomorrow, not in a week or 3, immediately continue. Keep chipping away! Set weekly goals on a calendar. Check off which ones you accomplished. as if none at all then say okay no big deal, what can I accomplish today. Keep a positive attitude. We are human and fail miserably and sometimes moment to moment. We have the opportunity to be thankful for those difficult times, because in those moments we learn. You deserve to have everything you have worked hard for. I can't wait to hear all of your successes this year!
@@kristafrancis6778 I couldn't put it any better to be honest and I so agree with you too. We are human and we have to keep going no matter what. Another thing i agree on is to also be thankful for those difficult times like you said because that's when we learn. I honestly appreciate those motivational words from you. I would love to be in touch with you via social media as you're such an inspiration to many including myself xx
You are a survivor! Myself, I struggled with addiction to pain meds, and for the rest of my life is my recovery after my surrender and then seeking help for it. Love you!
what an inspiration. I need to find a way to do the same. Making excuses for me so I don't start is so easy. Im constantly on the run with kid sports and teaching and grading that I don't find that me time but watching your video is inspirational.
Trust there to be a Dominos advert after this encountering weightloss vlog. No wonder there are so many people struggling with their weight these days, all the temptations and enticement are endless. Stay strong folks.
You go girl!! You are my hero!!
the videos i have to be early for are by truly lol
I’m so proud of you and you inspiring many people in the world who’s want to change them self even me . Thank you so much to share this video
This is beyond next level. No true words for this amazing work!!!
Thank you Coach! I'm grateful to have you leading the way. You are one incredible coach and am so happy to be on the Fitness Poynter team!

These are the types of stories I want to see. Congratulations to her for making a change for herself and her family. She's also setting a good example for her kids.
That's amazing!!!! I was a 161kg n I've lost over 40kg now I was hating all the excess skin but now that I've heard how u feel about it, I don't feel so bad now! Thank you for sharing your story!!! Ur an inspiration 💕 And U look amazing! 😍

Im so proud of you too. Well done. An inspirational story that hits home. Hope 1 day i can do the same. Thanks 4 sharing, God bless😇
This is incredibly tremendous what you have achieved, you are soooooo inspiring for me event though Inhave just 15kg to go, your video helps me for sure. Sending warm blessing for you and your family all the way from Munich/Germany
A estas personas las admiro porque tienen mucha fuerza de voluntad y cambian totalmente sus malos hábitos, por hábitos saludables!!!!!😀👍
Thank you for sharing! Very inspiring!
She should be so proud of herself she is inspiring others she looks amazing ❤️
Thank you, it has been an incredible journey!!
Inspirational lovely looking lady shame about over top tatoos
Respect to such a strong personality
There should be plastic surgeon that helps her with the skin for free ! She is inspiring!
Why, they didn't help her get that big. I get so sick of people always talking about how someone should get this or that for free. If it was something medically necessary and they didn't have the financial means then by all means yes. But to give a pretty girl who used to be over weight and now decided to stop killing herself one spoonful at a time a cosmetic procedure to get rid of the left over remains of her formal gluttonous days is just silly. I wonder if you and everyone else would be in such a hurry to "fix her body" if she was older or unattractive. 🤔
Wow what an inspirational woman. You look amazing. X
She needs to talk to Whitney Thore and tell her this is what you call a “Fabulous” lifestyle
She did this for herself...don't be bashing others because of that.
You are an inspiration congratulations on your weight loss
This video really made me realize everything is possible. I am gonna try to lose as much weight as possible (at least 40 because I'm 102 at 10 years old and my goal is 60-70 lb
You’re 10, don’t get too obsessed with your weight too young 😅 just be healthy
@@nil-8026 well I want to change it for myself and 102 is not healthy for me a 10-yr old. I know I'm young and shouldn't have insecurities but I just want my weight to change and then I'll actually be healthy.
Your kids are very lucky, all the best to you and your fam X
What a strong (physically, mentally, AND emotionally) mama!!!! Good for her! She's a damn rockstar if you ask me! I didn't even know it was possible to be proud of someone you don't even know, until now.
Take your time. Stay pure soul.
Thank you and I will!
I’m so happy for her! That’s an incredible feat.
Congratulations. Wish you and your family the best. Thanks for sharing this.
I found giving up drugs was so much easier than giving up all the bad foods. How is that even right 🤷♀️😅
SAME. I mean, when you really stop and think about it, it starts to seem crazy. For me I think even giving up cigarettes will be easier than Coca Cola and my fav bad foods😅lol that’s just not right😭
Wow she is so beautiful good job girl keep it up you are a inspiration
I wanna lose weight too 🥺
Bhad Flawless me too
What's shopping you?😅
What's stopping you
You can do it!
LET'S GET IT! FIGHTING!:D
What an amazing, inspirational mom!
What a role model for determination and dedication. Congratulations and keep it going.
Simply phenomenal! I hope she can get her skin removed. Another inspiriting story and than you for sharing!
I lost around 60 pounds in last 6 months.... I'm really soo happy now....I've followed many youtube channels... Learned many things in this journey...also...this channel was a big motivation for me♥️🔥
Congratulations!!
@@Cupcake813x thank you soo much! Means a lot
I weigh 353 right now and this really hits me.
You have got this. If you fall, get back up and do it again. You can do this and you are worth the time and effort it takes. Don't go zero to 100 all at once, make little changes you can sustain. Mine was cutting out eating out. I had to eat what was at home, and packing up meals in advance for on the go. Then I started to cut back on the processed foods, and integrated whole foods instead. I switched from soda, to flavored water packs in my drinks and flavored sparkling waters, so I could get that fizz I wanted. That helped me a ton in the beginning. If you ever need some suggestions on things to help along the way, you can add me on instagram (kristafrancis1) or find me on fb (kristafrancis). Id be happy to help and be your accountability partner. Just shoot me a DM.
@@kristafrancis6778 Thank you so much! I've lost 50lbs before but gained it back and now I'm at the highest I've ever been. I keep dipping between just complete sadness that I let myself get this far and determination to not be like this long.
