My name is Kristin. I've been lurking around for a little bit but I finally decided to introduce myself. I'm 25 years old and I've been fighting the battle of the bulge for waaaay too long now. In the last five years I've gained and lost, gained and lost and...you guessed it...gained and lost again. The lowest I can remember weighing in that time was 165 but I was very unhealthy. As a 19 year old college kid I was on the "liquid diet."
When your diet consists of whiskey, vodka and the occasional order of cheese fries, it's not too hard to lose weight but I sure wouldn't recommend it! lol Anyways, I thankfully outgrew that phase without any major harm being done but ever since, the pounds have just been creeping on. At my heaviest I was probably 230 but I'm not sure because I refused to set foot anywhere near a scale. I'm a southern girl, born and bred, and if you had ever been to a family gathering or church potluck in the South, then you'll probably see why I love food.
I weigh in at 200 pounds today but my goal is 120 pounds and I know I'll never get there if I don't cut back, change my habits and get a hold on this now. I really hope that ya'll can help me along the road and that I'll be able to encourage you in return! Here's to us!!
