My sister Jamie started a blog about her weightloss! I thought it was a grand idea. This way, family friends keep tabs on her, and encourage her. I would like to do the same. She blogs weekly about her weight loss, her strengths and weaknesses. I am basically going to do the same by recording my goal now.
I am going to do a little venting, because no one likes to have an awkward conversation where the chubby girl complains and pokes fun about her own weight constantly. So when I blog it.. you can stop reading anytime. It's also nice you can say what you really think and I can't hear you. (Though, it would be nice to get advise or comments)
To start, I have literally always have had issues with my weight, as long as I can remember. I remember being a little kid, walking aroung "Video Vault" (where my sister worked, in result, getting FREE rentals! yipee!) holding my favorite movie to rent "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" and being soooo excited and telling my sister I couldn't wait to loose my baby fat. Ha! Yeah right! Like it was just going to go away.
I remember wearing my red flower shorts my mom just made for me to my 2nd grade class. When I sat down my thighs flattened out and appeared bigger I guess, and this stupid kid, Seth Strong kept staring at my thighs like they were so sick... I so vividly remember these things.
I remember asking my Mom why I was the chubby sister. All of my other sisters were so cute and skinny! She just told me that Gran lived with us, she would just feed me constantly. Haha. Dang it Gran!! Why did you feed me soooo much???
When I reached 9th grade, I got my first boyfriend. He went to Hawaii for a week, and I wanted to surprise him by being skinny when he got back. So I basically stopped eating , and lost 10 pounds in that week. When he got back, he noticed, and I excitedly told him how much I lost, and he said "10 pounds?!! That is like a sack of potatoes!!" Nice compliment Mitch Rice!
Losing weight became an obsession. I had SO much self control and motivation (I have NO idea where those qualities of mine went!) I went running, and did Tae Boe all the time, I did crunchies while watching TV, I recorded in my Journal everything that went in my mouth and how much I weighed that day. I really did look good. I was cute and curvy. I was a size 4-6 and usually 130 pounds. If someone would have told me back then "Mackenzie, when you turn 22, you will be busting out of a size 12 and weigh 170 pounds. Plus your thighs will touch all the way down." I would have wanted to shoot my face off!! I am not looking forward to my 5 year reunion "Hi! I have gained 40 pounds since high school, and I work at Macy's." Sick!!
I am thankful I have a supportive husband, and he likes the way I look, and he has made my self - esteem be higher than I ever. But, I really want to get into shape! My Goal is to look the way I did when JT met me. I was a 150 pounds, and a size 8. I would be totally happy with that. My plan is to eat less, cut out Diet Coke completly, cut out Hoe hoes and all that sick stuff I think is so heavenly. I am going to do cardio 3 times weekly with light weight lifting. I actually started 2 days ago, and now I am 168 pounds. Go ME!

Hey Kenzie,
Good luck getting in shape. I know that you can do it. Have fun in Utah looking like a skinny minny. My offer still stands in June!!!
Kenze! You are so awesome! We need to keep on each other! Mainly because it makes me sad to hear that you get so down on yourself. You are so darn gorgeous. But you only motivate me...keep it up!
it makes me so sad that you had to go through that as a teenager. you were not "chubby" beacuse gran fed you. you were "chubby" because you got lucky. its not like she fed you McDonalds, and Burger king and spoon fulls of Lard.you have always been "chubby" and its not a bad thing. Jamie was in the same boat as you as a kid. Laurie and stacy and jill were the same, and i was, girl version of spencer and brett. Beacuse mom told you you were fed too much, you stopped eating, you really screwed up your metabolism. the biggest thing that makes you fail, and gain weight, is trying not to eat. the best tip i can give you to help you with this, is to eat! eat every 2 hrs. i try to bring protien shakes and bars, trail mixes, bannanas, string chz, cottage chz and dinner left overs, to work. set your cell phone to beep every two hours to remind you to eat something. if you do this your body constantly burns calories and wont store fat. if you go with out eating for awhile, your body goes into starvation mode,and stores fat. then when you eat again, it stores that fat right away, cause it dosent know when your going to eat again. it also makes it so you can NEVER EVER eatsomething "naughty" but if you get your body used to eating every two hours, it wont store fat it will burn it,(speed up your metabolism) because it doesnt need it. instead it will make lean muscle. so if you go and get a McDonalds breakfast one morning, your body will just get rid of it. also,by doing this it will keep you full, and curb your candy/fast food, cravings. also, protien is the best thing to eat to calm down a sweet tooth. and if you get a sweet craving, eat dark chocolate, or fruit. both are rich in antioxidants and will help with energy, memeory, and dexterity. dont consentrate on losing weight, consentrate on your health, and the rest will follow. BTW i am SO PROUD of you for giving up diet coke! that made me so happy, i gaurentee you lose 15 lbs in 90 days by doing just that.
since when do you update your blog? I got a little tired of checking it and seeing the same post since December. I sort of gave up on you. So happy to be wrong. I am really happy that you are going to get healthy.... Maybe now you can poop when you want! I have all these grand plans to get in Shape after Sophie is born You guys better still be working at it so I have some workout buddies even if it is via blog/ Good job on the pounds lost I know you can do it. You have done it before. I remember going running with you on the canal and being amazed by your endurance. I couldnn't even run for 10 minutes and you were still going strong after 30.
