"I Did It!"
Samantha's Weight-Loss Plan

Samantha's Weight-Loss Plan

The Diet: For breakfast, Samantha has two egg whites and two ounces of broiled salmon. Lunch is grilled chicken salad. Dinner is chicken or fish with salsa and steamed cauliflower. She snacks on raw veggies, whole wheat cereal, and hard-boiled egg whites.

The Workout: Samantha does 90 minutes of cardio (elliptical, cycle, treadmill) and 30 minutes of strength training five times a week.

Biggest Temptation: Buffalo wings. "When I crave them, I make grilled chicken with hot sauce."

What She Couldn't Wait to Wear: Trendy underwear. "I actually cried the first time I went shopping at Victoria's Secret and was able to fit into the colorful, sexy bras and undies."

Definitely a motivating story. With Samantha being in my age range I can relate to everything in her story. I played soccer all 4 years of high school and add cross country & weight lifting my senior year. Now that I have a career that causes me to sit at a computer anywhere from 8.5 to 12.5hrs a day & rotating shifts. Finding someone that is able to lose this amount of weight in a year shows that it can be done. Way to Go!!

I think that Samantha, although obviously a female "sistah got balls" what an awesome accomplishment. Hip hip hooray girl. You inspire me to keep going. Thank you. For the past 7 days I've been in a slump but I can't wait to cycle in the morning. Yeah!
