Profile Information

About Me:
Hello! ... My name is Sam (Samantha), I am 26 years old. I have an awesome son - Layton Reed (2)- and a wonderful husband - Don -. We live in St. Louis, 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 son and I want to be around when he is older and I want to be able to run around and keep up with him 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.
Plan of Choice:

Preggo Update

Ok, so I have been lurking cuz I am totally not doing points or watching what I eat right now... I did get to have an ultrasound the other day and got to see our precious little one and a heartbeat! Which made me feel so much better. I go back this Thursday for another ultrasound so I can't wait. I love having the reassurance of ultrasounds so I know the little bean is nice and healthy :)

Here is a pic of the little one, doesn't seem like much but a little blob at this point - thursdays may be… Continue

K, I'm back, kind of ...

So last November i had a miscarriage and was devastated, i tried to get back on track and focus on my weight but all i could think about was having another baby and how my son was getting older and i felt the gap between children getting to great and was just upset about the miscarriage and feeling like i lost out on my only opportunity to have another child. I brought it up to the husband several times that I wanted to have another baby but he said we just weren't ready and did not want to try… Continue

Needed to hear this ...

I was blog surfing this morning :) and i came across escapefromobesity.blogspot and she had a sentence on there that just kind of slapped me in the face ...

If you want something bad enough, you'll make it happen. If not, you'll make excuses.

Wow - there it is, flat out, no color coating ... how many times have i made excuses as to why i'm not losing weight? this week my "excuse" is my husband is gone and i'm in a funk ... what a stupid excuse!!!

bottom line - do i want this? do i REALLY want… Continue

Do you let other people affect your daily plan??

Ok, so I have found that one of my biggest problems is letting other people's decisions or choices affect me and its not their fault at all, it is mine 100%! ... For example, this week my mom stayed with me a few nights because of my husband being out of town she wanted to keep me company and I found myself totally disregarding my "daily plan" food-wise and giving in because of what she wanted to eat ... The first night we went to Burger King because we were out running around and it was close .… Continue

Hanging in there ... WI #2

Well I am still here ... feeling kinda blah this week without the husband, he is in Germany visiting his uncle and I miss him to death - I feel really pathetic for feeling so lonely without him, makes me wonder how I would function if something ever really happened to him ... but anyways, I got my food scale yesterday which made me smile. I love it! I was weighing everything last night, lol!!

I weighed in today - was in a hurry and forgot to do it yesterday morning anyways, down a 1 lb this wee… Continue

How are you doing? You haven't posted in so long??

Hi Sam
Thanks for your encouraging words. To answer your question about the plan I am on ....here is the six week body makeover website .......www.mybodymakeover.com....it tells you all about the plan and what the science behind it and all that. I love the plan so far and I can't believe that just in a week's time I feel so much better , more energy, and no sugar cravings (something I have been fighting with for a long time) Any ways let me know how you like it if you start it or once you start it. Have a great OP week!
