Krystina Clemons’ Weight Loss Journey: How She Regained Her Health, Strength, and Confidence
“I’ve been overweight my whole life.”
That’s how Krystina Clemons’ story begins. Like so many others, her struggle with weight started young—at just 5 years old. Raised by a single mom doing her best, meals weren’t always nutritious, and emotional support was limited. Shame came early, and with it, years of secret binge eating, body image struggles, and a cycle of losing weight only to gain it back.
“I grew up in the 90s and a preteen in the 2000s—body image during that time was incredibly distorted,” she shared. “I tried everything: weight loss programs, supplements, personal trainers, even starving myself. And every time I lost weight, I gained it back—and more.”
By the age of 33, she had reached nearing 400 pounds. She couldn’t play with her kids. Walking just a few feet left her winded. Her labs were in the red: prediabetic, hypertensive, high cholesterol. And then—she decided to save her own life.
