Christine Brown, known for her role in the reality TV series Sister Wives, has been open about her personal journey, including her experiences with weight loss. This article delves into Christine's weight loss journey, exploring its various facets and the impact it has had on her life.
A Candid Look at Body Image and Self-Perception
Christine has never shied away from discussing her struggles with body image and self-perception. She has been candid about the challenges she faced in a plural marriage, including comparisons to her sister wives. In her memoir, Sister Wife: A Memoir of Faith, Family, and Finding Freedom, she revealed that Meri Brown often criticized her weight, intelligence, and parenting style. This criticism undoubtedly affected Christine's self-esteem and body image.
"I didn't trust that she would be kind to me, particularly in front of other people," Christine wrote in her book, highlighting the emotional toll that Meri's words had on her. She also accused Meri of holding her and Janelle Brown to higher degrees of scrutiny than the ones she had for herself.
Embracing Weight Loss Shots
In September, Christine shared on Instagram that "Weight loss shots are helping so many women make progress." This suggests that she may have utilized weight loss shots as part of her weight loss efforts.
Finding Love and Happiness
Christine's personal life has also undergone significant changes. After leaving her plural marriage with Kody Brown, she found love again with David Woolley. Going official with her and David Woolley's romance on Valentine's Day 2023, Christine shared, "I finally found the love of my life, David. The first time he held me close, it felt like my soul took its first breath. He's wonderful and kind, incredible with my children and an adorable grandpa. I never dreamed I could find a love like this."

Two months later he added to the fantasy with a spring proposal. "David treats me like a queen and tells me I'm beautiful everyday," Christine told People. "I've never been in love like this before and the world seems like a brighter place with him in it."
Tying the knot in Utah on Oct. 7, 2023, she wrote, "I'm so blessed! I've married my best friend."
Sister Wives' Marriages and Relationships
Christine's journey is intertwined with the complex dynamics of the Brown family. Kody Brown's plural marriages to Meri and Janelle have also ended, though he remains married to wife Robyn Brown.
"She looked like a soccer mom," Kody Brown once joked on Sister Wives of meeting then-single mom Robyn in 2009. "She had a van, three kids and was divorced. As for bringing on other teammates, it's not in the game plan.
"I really, really struggle with it because it feels, like, 'Oh, well. Those didn't work. So, on to [someone] new,'" Robyn said on the December 2024 Sister Wives: One on One special of Meri Brown, Janelle Brown and Christine Brown leaving the fold. "That's hard for me. That's really, really hard for me. It feels disrespectful."

In January 2024, a year after she and Kody announced their breakup, Meri revealed on Instagram that she had begun dating Amos Andrews the previous October. But in February 2024, Meri confirmed on Instagram that they had called it quits.
The Next Generation of Browns
The Brown family continues to expand, with the younger generation embarking on their own journeys of love and marriage.
The first of the 18 Brown children to walk down the aisle, Janelle's eldest daughter wed Caleb Brush at a 2016 outdoor wedding in Montana captured by TLC's cameras.
Eldest Brown kid Logan got the gang back together when he married longtime girlfriend Michelle Petty in Arizona in 2022. "It was a beautiful day and this mama's heart was mush the whole time," Janelle shared on Instagram of her son's wedding. "You always have such a sense of peace when your children find amazing life partners."
More than six years after her 2016 wedding to Antonio "Tony" Padron, Mykelti joked that they'd already tested the limits of their marriage vows by welcoming twins Archer and Ace into the fold in November 2022. "We have 3 kids and 4 moves under our belt," Mykelti, who is also mom to eldest daughter Avalon, wrote on Instagram at the time. "A whole lot of good times and some hard times #surprisetwins But here we are still doing this whole marriage thing."

Before hitting their one-year anniversary, Christine's third oldest daughter and love Beatriz Queiroz went to the happiest place on earth and marked six months together with chocolate fondue. Then came the really sweet part, with Gwendlyn sharing a glimpse at the candlelit, rose-filled proposal on Instagram in November 2022, writing simply, "i'm engaged!!" The couple wed in July 2023, captioning a photo from the ceremony: "Say hello to mrs (x2) queiroz."
