Christina Phillips made a drastic decision to change her life by enrolling in the program, "My 600-lb Life". The result? She lost an astonishing 535 lbs. Recently, she became a mother for the second time. However, not everything unfolded as she planned.

Christina grappled with morbid obesity for years. When she became immobile and dependent on her loved ones, she decided to take the bull by the horns. Her participation in the "My 600-lb Life" program was pivotal. It seemed her life was finally getting back on track. However, her newly born daughter is unwell.

Christina's transformation garnered global media attention. It's a monumental achievement to shed as many as 535 lbs. After taking part in the "My 600-lb Life" program, Christina not only reshaped her body but also her life. She made the decision to leave her husband, who, in the view of many spectators, was part of her weight issue.

In a special episode, Phillips was linked with a long-time friend. It remains unclear if they are still in a successful relationship. She first became a mother in 2020 when her son Ethan was born.

In 2023, Christina announced she was expecting again. She published a detailed post on Facebook, sharing the news of her daughter's birth. Regrettably, the baby girl was born with esophageal atresia, with a long gap, requiring her to be fed through a tube. She awaits surgeries.

In 2014, when Christina Phillips first appeared on "My 600-lb Life", few believed in her potential transformation. Nevertheless, she showcased that a return to a healthy weight is attainable.

Her journey to her dream weight was fraught with challenges. Not only was mobility a problem, but she also battled with hypertension. After losing some weight, she underwent gastric reduction surgery. Following the surgery, Phillips managed to bring her weight down to 172 lbs. A transformation that allowed her to fully embrace and enjoy her life. Her present physique is an incredible sight.
