My Journey
Hi, I’m Christa Loughlin, and I know exactly how it feels to struggle with weight loss, regain, and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it. After undergoing bariatric surgery in 2009, I shed over 200 lbs—a transformation that filled me with hope, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose. But life doesn’t always follow a straight path. In my mid-40s, I faced the unexpected challenges of perimenopause and the devastating reality of regaining nearly 100 lbs. I felt judged, defeated, and stuck in a cycle of shame, wondering if I’d ever reclaim my health and happiness.
My journey has been one of triumphs and setbacks, but through it all, I’ve discovered something powerful: sustainable weight loss and wellness aren’t just about the number on the scale—they’re about healing emotionally, mentally, and physically. I’ve walked in the shoes of someone who has felt hopeless and overwhelmed, and I’ve fought my way back to a healthier, more empowered version of myself. Today, I’m here to share my story, connect with others, and create a community where women feel seen, understood, and supported.
My Mission
Inspiring women’s health.
At the core of everything I do is a passion for helping women who, like me, have struggled with weight loss and regain. I’ve created the community group “she-SHED” on Facebook as a supportive space where women can shed not just the pounds but also the emotional and mental burdens that come with this journey.
Through empowerment, education, and authentic connection, I aim to inspire women to find sustainable, healthy, and balanced ways to take care of their bodies and minds.
This community FB group acts as your hub for inspiration, wellness tips, and resources to help you flourish on your journey. From joining the “she-SHED” community to finding products here that have personally helped me stay on track, my mission is to be your trusted guide.
Whether you’re searching for encouragement, advice, or simply a reminder that you’re not alone, I want you to leave feeling uplifted, capable, and ready to take the next step in your journey.
