Introduction Text Hi! My name is Amy! I have done this whole "diet" thing before but always the wrong way. I would exercise but do some crazy fad diet or diet without exercise. I really want to make a change in my life this time. I want to see my son grow up and not be the "fat" mom. I want to feel great and be healthy! Update (6/08)-I feel like I am improving and really trying to make this a lifestyle change. I eat more consciously than before but I still struggle at times with emotional eating and portion control. I have the exercise part down fairly well but need to continue to change it up a bit so I don't get bored and my body still responds. I have kind of struggled over the past month or two with the same few pounds but I still feel like I am making steps in the right direction. I love SP! It has really been great for me to make new friends who understand this struggle and to see the amazing success stories! I can and will do this no matter how long it takes me! Update (10/08) Well I wish I could say I'm a loser in the way we all want yet here I am again...trying to get it together. I am trying to SLOWLY work my nerve up to getting back on Spark and getting back on track.

I want to exercise 4-5 times per week, make better food choices and be conscious eater. Weight Start 312 5% 296 met 10% 281 met 5/5/08 15% 265 20% 250 25% 234 30% 218 35% 203 40% 187 45% 172 48% 164

I started with "baby steps" but I am in full swing now! I work out 5 days a week and add strength training 2 of those days. I stay within my calories on most days. I try to get good sleep and keep my stress levels down (easier said then done)



Podcast: Inside Out Weight Loss Great Book: Intuitive Eating Paul McKenna (new TLC Show, I can make you thin) has many of the same thoughts as the above book. His website has all of the info http://www.mckenna.com/default.asp x
