Mission Objective: Obtain Negative 145lbs
My name is Ihilani Kapuniai, or Ihi for short. I'm a 22 year old mother on her everlasting journey to health and happiness!
I joined SparkPeople for one reason: I simply got bored with Calorie-Count. I signed up with SparkPeople, checked it out a bit and LOVED it.
I'm not a newbie when it comes to counting calories, fitness, weight loss, nutrition, etc. I've studied these things religiously, a little bit every day, since I was 13 years old. When I was 13 - 14 years ...

I'm not a newbie when it comes to counting calories, fitness, weight loss, nutrition, etc. I've studied these things religiously, a little bit every day, since I was 13 years old. When I was 13 - 14 years old, I hit about 260-270lbs... can't remember the exact number, but I know it was in there somewhere. I decided one day that I was gonna start working out and eating right because I was tired of being fat. I worked out every single day for at least 30 minutes a day. It became habit and got to the point where I would feel physically ill if I missed a workout. Damn. Those were the days. I had energy. I had drive. Motivation. Distraction (from eating, that is). I had friends. I had everything I needed to lose the weight, and I did. I lost between 80 - 90lbs in less than a year with good ol' diet (by this, I mean eating healthy, every day, and not looking back) and exercise. By the time I was 15-16 years old, I weighed about 180lbs, the smallest I have ever remember being.
But of course, that didn't last long. Due to my depression, I still thought I was fat. I looked in the mirror and saw a fat girl with an imperfect body, even though everybody around me saw a beautiful young woman who had even been approached by a modeling agent in the mall!! I still remember that day. It was amazing. I still have the card she gave me right after she told me, "You're gorgeous. You should think about modeling. Call me."
Ugh. Until this day, I regret not calling her. I COULD HAVE BEEN A MODEL!!!! I can't believe it. But no. I thought it was a joke. How could someone like ME be a model? A fat, ugly cow? Problem is, that's not what everybody saw when they looked at me. That's just what *I* saw.
Unfortunately, my being thin didn't last long. I was, at the time, living with someone who would bake up a storm every weekend. She made the most amazing foods; you just can't say no. I ate my way back to obesity. I gained that 80-90lbs back, and then some. I'm now up to 325lbs, after gaining about 50lbs through pregnancy.
Anyhow... I came across some pictures of me when I was thin. It amazed me. Even then, I hated taking pictures, so to come across a picture (TWO pictures!) of me when I was skinny really hit home. I never realized how thin I was! So... I made a vow that I will not let myself get past 325lbs and that I WILL lose weight and I WILL get back down to 180. So... that's why I'm here!
And now, the beginning of a lifelong journey...
