...To introduce myself!!
I've been "creeping" this forum for awhile now, getting to know most of you but yet never got the courage to woman up and introduce myself..
My name is Kristina, I'm 22, and I'm from Ontario, Canada...I've been on IP 3 times now, every time being 100%OP.
I decided to first go on IP in March of 2011, when I hit my highest weight at 225..I was so out of control with my eating habits and was not happy with what I saw when I looked in the mirror and I was only 20! I knew I had to do something.
I heard of IP from my aunt, who lost 20lbs and I thought "I hate veggies, I hate restricting my food intake, I hate not being able to drink" but then I thought "I also hate not being able to find clothes that fit/look good, I hate the way I look, and I hate being obese on the BMI scale" so..I woman-ed up and started IP.
The first time I did IP lasted 2.5 months. I got down to 174 before I decided to phase off for the summer. With a 51lb loss I was feeling on top of the world..which caused me to slip and started eating whatever I wanted...
Which led me to March 2012 where I weighed in at 193..boy was I not happy to see that I gained 21lbs back..back onto IP I go for another 2 months and got down to 160..Lost the 21lbs plus 14lbs more! Again phased off and went through the summer..drinking, partying, eating crap...
My birthday was October 17, and I weighed in at 188...how did I gain almost 30lbs in 6 months?!?! I had a melt down...I started October 22, went through the whole holiday season being 100%OP and am down to 156...Hoping to hit my goal by sometime mid February..
I joined because I know I need the support for when I phase off...to maintain..that's been the hardest part for me..now that I know I can loose the weight, I need help and support from all you lovely ladies&men to help maintain!!
Anyway sorry for the ramble..but happy I finally introduced myself
