LENSCHER's CalorieKing Blog

When I got married I weighed just under 120 pounds. It was a comfortable weight for my short stature. A stressful job with too much soda pop and virtually no physical activity put on about 15 pounds in 4.5 years. Then, I got pregnant with my first baby. That pushed my weight up to about 173. After Annika was born, I got down to about 136 or so. A move to another state, difficulty finding jobs and adequate housing, unsatisfactory and stressful jobs, and 2 miscarriages later (blah blah blah) the w... Read more

3 more pounds

Thursday, July 30th 2009

SOOO close! Almost there. The high end of the healthy weight range for my height is 136. I weighed in at 139 today. Sorry I haven't been around much. A little stress at home and at work and that doesn't make for happy quiet time to log everything. One more pound and I'll have lost 40 pounds.

YEA!!!!!
And, I'm on vacation next week. Should be a great time to rejuvenate and relax.

Love u all,
Elly

P.S. I debuted the brown string bikini at the pool the other day. It was too big. ...

Fat sister

Thursday, July 2nd 2009

Over the years, I have become the Fat Sister. After living in Kansas City for a long time, and having a baby with my husband down there, when I moved back to my hometown, I started to gain weight, and lots of it. In high school, I weighed about 105 and so did she, but she was in middle school. See, she's 6 years younger. She's a size 2 (was a size 0 after having two kids), but I am healthier. She has respiratory problems and celiac. I am conquering my respiratory problems through increased exerc...

Success School

Wednesday, July 1st 2009

UPDATE: I feel thin. I accidently put on a pair of 8s (must not have done a good job in my closet the other day) and they keep falling off my arse. Interesting to not have to unbutton and unzip when you use the restroom. *snicker, snicker*

Closet attack!!!

Tuesday, June 30th 2009

I attacked my closet last night. :evil: I have been filtering out stuff for a year that was too big or out of style, but I decided it was time to take a good look at everything. It was so much fun. :queen: I literally took every article of clothing out of my 6x8 walk in closet :devious: and put it on my bed. It ended up turning into a fashion show for the whole family. :y: :n: I tried on every single pair of pants and shirts. It was SO MUCH FUN! :rock1:

I highly recommend it. Now my closet looks great. And I even made...

Back on track

Friday, June 26th 2009

I think its almost insane that now that I am making a conscious effort to burn pounds, its happening seemingly easy. Tracking the food is working and attempting exercise daily is helping to put my metabolism back in check.

When I started at the beginning of the week I was about 145. To be about 142 now is almost unreal. If I do this again next week, I'll break into the 130s, a goal I had hoped to accomplish this summer.

I REALLY want to wear my bikini sometime this summer. Really and...
