Karina lives in NYC with her husband and son, together they try to live a fit and healthy life in the city that never sleeps. She's had many ups and downs in her journey to lose weight and live a fit and healthy life. Her "Aha!" moment happened the day she realized she'd stopped loving herself. It was time to bring Karina back!                          

With her asthma pump in hand, iPod and motivation, she has been jogging around Central Park every other morning and getting her cardio on at home. Her love for running can be seen every time she walks out the door on rainy days, super hot days and cold winter mornings. One of her biggest goals is to run the ING NYC Marathon someday with her hero, her dad. He's run the NYC marathon 15 times and one day she plans to cross the finish line hand in hand with him! With the support of her loved ones she will continue to be the best that she can be!                         

Karina is very grateful for her fit life and all of the doors that it continues to open for her. Never in her wildest dreams did she think that she would be a part of such an amazing group of girls!                        

She believed she could do it, so she did......                     

"There's nothing like the feeling of euphoria that I feel every morning as my feet hit the pavement."" -Karina"
