Rockin’ the Scale - Kristen

By day Kristen works as an administrator, but at night she fronts a country rock band. Over the past 2 years, Kristin has gained 60 pounds. Her excess weight means that she’s out of breath by the end of every song and gives a much less energetic performance than she used to. Plus, being overweight has knocked her confidence to the degree that she’s worried that soon she won’t want to go on stage and perform at all.

Apart from when she is on stage Kristin, leads a sedentary lifestyle, doing little more than laying on the couch when she gets home from a hard days slog. Kristen lives off pre-packaged convenience foods and never prepares anything herself. Her partner Jill is athletic and Kristin fears that if her weight continues to climb she’ll end up losing her.

Kristen is desperate to recapture her love of being on stage and be the vibrant entertainer she once was. She is tired of feeling uncomfortable in her own skin, of jiggling when she dances and being worn out by performing. She’ll need to get off the couch and into the gym, as well as address her terrible eating habits.
