Profile Information

About Me:
Hello! ... My name is Sam (Samantha), I am 27 years old. I have two awesome boys - Layton Reed (3) and Evan Sawyer (4 weeks) - and a wonderful husband - Don -. We live in Missouri. I've been here my whole life and will probably never leave.

I have had a life long struggle with weight, for as long as I can remember I have been "trying to lose weight". I am tired of being "the big girl" and being so uncomfortable and miserable in my own skin. I am tired of not being able to buy cute clothes and dreading trying on any clothes for that matter. I need a change and I need it now. I want to be a healthy example for my sons and I want to be around when they are older and I want to be able to run around and keep up with them and not be the fat lazy mom who makes these huge fattening meals and then veg's out on the couch the rest of the night ... I want to live my life!

I've heard the saying - Eat to live dont live to eat - and that is so true for me! I have let food take over my being, it consumes me and I am going to change that once and for all! :) ... Wish me luck.

Ask and You Shall Receive!

Thank you ladies so much for all your helpfull advice yesterday. I know I really need to just give up soda all together, its just not good for me. Its not going to be easy but I am going to quit drinking it all together, I really think I will feel better after I do so.I think I am going to try adding PB to my oatmeal w/banana and see if that helps, also maybe adding a hardboiled egg as a snack in between breakfast and lunch... whatever works :)


And I've pretty much decided the FiberOne

Questions!!! Diet Coke, Breakfast & Fiber Bars ...

Ok so I have a ton of questions to ask....need HELP!!



Ok, so I have this very serious addiction to Diet Coke (or just any diet dark soda/i'm not picky!) ... I have tried to quit drinking because I know its not the best thing for you and I drink ZERO water, I will drink soda alllll day long! Its bad - we have a soda machine here at work that is .25 for a soda and I drink them all day long! And if I don't have cash or change on me, I will stop at a gas station and use my friggin

Weekend?? Where did you go??

Man the weekends sure do like to fly by - whats up with that anyways? ... It seriously feels like this weekend was a blur and I didn't even do anything amazing - just stayed around the house and got things done around there. I was supposed to go to a bridal shower on Saturday but I backed out at the last minute. It seriously seems like EVERY weekend we have "something" to go to and its really starting to get to me. I want to go to everyone's events and do all these things but we honestly can'

So I weighed in today - not pretty - but I don't care =) ... I HAVE to learn to be happy with myself no matter what. I need to learn that it is ok to be happy with myself even though I don't see excatly what I want to see in the mirror or on the scale. I am still a strong woman regardless what I weigh! I am a mother and damn good one at that! I am a wife, daughter, sister, friend ... I am an important person. I may not be famous or well-known but I still matter. I can still feel sexy for my h

Back ... enough said ... =)~

Here I am yet again ... but I'm not gonna dwell on it or go into some long drawn out story as to why I have been MIA or why I haven't been eating or exercising right ... I am just going to pick up where I left off and get to it. A few weeks back I was doing the Couch to 5K and trying to watch what I ate and I was rockin it ... but some stuff came up, I got off track and I'm ready to get back to it ... and I can't wait!!



Have a great night!

Hi Sam! Nice to meet you. I've had better days, lol. I've been battling an inner ear infection for going on 3 weeks now. It's not so bueno around here. I see you're a member of losing the baby bump...I had to back out (sick), but everyone's been busting it to lose on there. You should check it out =D

I gave up wine... *sob* not completely, but i only drink it about once a month now, down from a couple of times a week. My body just held onto the bloat when I drank and I would notice more scale stalls. Good luck on the great soda give up!

I have never had a big soda addiction, so I can't give you a suggestion there. Breakfast, I usually do an egg and some 1 point english muffin and 1 point worth of cheese (when I worked I cooked the egg in the microwave, in a mug). Usually keeps me p…

Sam..just caught up on your recent posts. Great questions and answers. I need to cut the diet pop out of my diet too. I did okay during the summer, but now that I am back at work...I am drinking more than ever. I have another great breakfast idea fo…

Eat the egg white and skip the yolk in the hardboiled egg. Egg whites are a wonderful source of protein. The one type of food I no longer have is fast food other than subway or El Burracho's. And I limit those visits too.
