I have lost over 500 pounds.

“After my weight loss, I was able to attend college, I work, have regained my ability to walk, and I am able to independently support and take care of myself.

“I have made significant progress toward my weight loss goal and improved my health, but yet find myself faced with another obstacle.,” Catrina says.

“I love running around, going to the gym three or four times a week and keeping fit. I’m so much happier now and feel so confident. I was in bed for so long that now I’ve lost the weight I just want to be free.”

Here’s Catrina’s update on her GoFundMe page as of March 2017:

“I sprung my ankle about a month and on top of that got cellulite and was hospitalized for a week. I’m doing better now but the doctor wants me to take it easy.

My goal is to lose 60 more pounds and then meet with my surgeons again. Thanks, everyone for helping me reach my goal to get the funds for my surgery.
