Christina’s Weight Loss Journal

24 year-old Christina Petrillo is a recent UF grad who has wedding date approaching. She is looking for guidance in how to be healthy and loose weight.

I am so happy to say I have lost 3 1/2 pounds so far on Christie's diet and Ann and Sharon's motivation at Shapes! I am feeling great and inspired! I have taken many great classes at Shapes....so far my favorite is Latin Aerobics, but if you are looking for a heart-pumping work out, Step and Sculpt is where it's at! Shoot me a question anytime, I would love to spread my new knowledge on being healthy!

I am so excited! I went to get my measurments taken today for my college roomate's wedding and I lost 2 inches off my waist from a little over a week ago when Ann did my measurments at Shapes! I am meeting with Christie on Monday to go over my food diary, I hope she is as proud as I am :)

Christina, We have always been proud of you! You have always accomplished everything you put your mind to, this is no different! Keep up the good work! We love you!

Keep it up Christina, I know you are going to do awesome!

We are all so proud of you and behind you in your quest for a healthy and happy life! We love you Chrissy!

I must admit that I was quite nervous to work out on TV this morning, but I am feeling much better about myself! I did the Latin Fusion class tonight at Shapes and I was front and center shaking my hips :) It was a blast!

I just want to say two words:

THE FIRM!

It sounds like everything is going super well. YAY! Me so exciting for my old rooooomie!=)

5 1/2 pounds lost!!!!! SO PUMPED! I have gone to Shapes everyday this week so far (I am on Spring Break) and I have been working hard in the classes! Latin Fusion tomorrow night....my #1 favorite!

Also, I got an analysis of my Food Diary from Christie and I am not meeting my 1600 calories, I am way below, I guess I better eat a little more :)

Have a great night,
Christina

Hey Christina, it was nice seeing you the other day, even though we had to work out on TV lol. I am so happy that you have lost 5 1/2 pounds, we def need to get together because I want to do Latin Fusion with you they dont offer that class at my Shapes Gym. So let me know what days and times they offer it. Keep up the GREAT work!!

Hi guyz!!!! how r you, I hope your doing well, I'm doing ok, cant really move much today workin like a dog... so far to date 22 lbs.. dunnop about the inches yet waiting for ann to measure me again, im scared... lol but it ahs to be moving cuz the weight is dropping

cant wait to see you guyz...

So, I just got back from an amazing workout with my trainer, Sharon and I feel great, but pooped! She showed me how to really work my abs and how to breathe right while doing a full body workout. I am so ready to take this on full force....it gets better and better everyday (6 pounds!)

This weekend was not the best for me. I went out to dinner one night and made a good dinner choice, but got a couple of drinks as well. I have been staying away from wine with dinner, but I went ahead and ordered two glasses. Was it worth it? Probably not, but I did it and I need to not dwell on it. Also on Saturday, my fiance and I had an all-day marriage prep class and they fed us breakfast and lunch there. I thought it would be fine and I could stick with my meal planning, but they had bagels, danishes, cheeses, etc. If I was thinking correctly, I would have just packed my own meals. Now I am feeling down, but I picked back up today. My work out schedule is planned for this week, and I know I can get right back where I left off. Everyday is not going to be a perfet day!

Keep your head up, remember that we are trying to make a healthy lifestyle so its ok if you mess up here and there.

Hi all! I met with Ann on Wednesday and I have lost inches all over (well, except my chest) but this was a given! I was happy with the results, but could be doing a little better! I go to the gym almost everyday, but I am still learning how to eat right!!

GO YOU GO...... it's aggravating isn't it...lol
you can do this woman...

This week has gone great with eating right, but not so much the gym. I started teaching 2nd grade this week and I have been SOOOOOO busy! I am getting back to the grind! Everyone I see has told me I look great, and my clothes are getting too big :)

I went shopping today for a size smaller jeans! How exciting! I spent way too much money, but it was way worth it!

-Christina
