This blog is going to be an attempt to poke a little fun at myself, get some things out the open, and basically chronicle my attempts to lose 102 pounds. As to me, I’m 25 years old, live on the Wisconsin border, and enjoy long walks on the beach and breaking vehicle noise laws. :) <3, Lisa Marie

Product Review: SodaStream Fountain Jet

(Full disclosure: SodaStream provided this product at no cost to me.) This is what I’d consider my first “real” product review. And it’s pretty darn cool (I feel like an actual blogger. Eep!). The product: SodaStream Fountain Jet. It has usurped my margarita glass fruit bowl as the coolest thing in

The Ballet Body (Booty?)

I’ve been taking ballet lessons, once per week, for three months now. And I love it. Like, crazy-want-to-marry-it-and-have-its-babies kind of love. The thing is, I didn’t expect it to affect my body image so much. Even more strangely, it has impacted it in both directions. The bad: typical ballet at

You Can’t Beat the Heat (But It’s Cold Out Now)

Wisconsin got the first snowfall of the season a few days ago – and already I can tell quite a few things have changed with the temperature and general color of nature. I’m wishing for summer, not just for the usual reasons (sunshine, swimming, boating, and the lack of worrying weather my tiny car w

Heeeeere’s Lisa!

Oh hai thar. The rumors are false; I have not, in fact, died and gone to Twinkie heaven. Honestly, I just wanted to have time where instead of blasting my feelings externally, I kept things a tad more private and took stock of some things. So, what’s the what with my WLJ? Here’s an update [...]

Up”date”

Get it? Up… date? Oh, I’m hilarious. Let’s begin with the elephant in the blog, shall we? The scale. It’s so unreliable these past few weeks that I don’t even want to write it here. The scale has been jumping as much as 5 pounds in either direction, and it’s just crazy. I replaced the [...]

Oh, Boys.

Right. I know I’m missing some results posts – but what I really want to blog about right now is… Guys. I’ve probably mentioned this before, but I live in Collegetown, USA. Guys my age are more scarce than helpful employees in a big box store. I honestly want to card any guy I do [...]

Weeks 80-83: Woohoo!

Okay, so I’ve been absent. What have I been doing? Out living life to the fullest! Partying in some scandalous outfits. Training for a 10K in September. And yesterday, kayaking for the first time ever. Beyond the general scary aspects of kayaking (tipping over, falling out, and you know, drowning, e

I Just Can’t Quit You, 2XL Pants

As quickly as I’ve gone through clothing during this journey, there are a few pieces that I just can’t let escape from my closet. In some cases, the reasons for letting these too-big reminders of my pudge days stick around are easy to understand. For example, my pair of 2XL purple pajama pants have

Week Seventy-Eight Results

Let’s make this short and saccharine. Why? Because I lost 4.2 lbs., earned my reward of a smartphone with that loss, and I’m too busy playing with my new toy to blog at length. Starting stats: Weight: 247 lbs. BMI: 36.5 Today’s stats: Weight: 172 lbs. BMI: 25.4
