Maybe her main goal isn't to lose fat, but to become good at crossfit.

the point isnt her losting fat. the point is that cross fit exercises are unnecessarily demanding and CF has a reputation of "fuck it we ball". that combined with her being fat is a recipe for permanent injuries.

I also have a distaste for crossfit. I've done this before. Landed on both shins, and bruised the bone on my right tibia. So, I don't even agree that she should be doing crossfit, but I wouldn't ever tell others what sports to practice. If it works for her, then more power to her. Life is short, and we all accrue a few injuries in the process if we've done half the living that we should.

If she knows it and is fine with it, that’s her choice. I had my bad experiences with crossfit too, before I knew anything about fitness. I would never do any timed strength training again for example. It does not make any sense, no matter your fitness level.
