TamiL~~Do you see the joy just radiating from you? You are beautiful, girl. WOWSER!! I can't wait to look that good. :bounce:

Hey, do you have before pictures on here? I would love to see the comparison.

I am sooooo proud of you. You have shown me I CAN do this. I CAN stay on this until I reach my goal. (and after

Thanks guys!! yes...I am happy...I only hope I can stay at this weight!! its been a challenge so far....Im almost afraid to incorporate certain things into my new eating habits, in fear they may "trigger" old habits...doing this day by day Im doing the "oprah" way...no white flour stuff..no sugar...and just eating small meals every 3-4 hours to keep my metabolism up!! I still have my oatmeal for breakfeast and I also have shakes cuz I miss the taste of them!! and Im stepping up my work out routine!!!
I dont really have "before" pictures to post...I avoided cameras at all cost when I was heavy!! but I couldnt not have gotten one leg into my new pants!! Im nervous about going back to my old ways...but as I said...Ill do this day by day..I almost feel that this is HARDER....thats always been the hard thing for me...to maintain!! but Im doing it one day at a time!!

NOTHING CAN TASTE AS GOOD AS THIS FEELS!!!

That reminds me of a saying "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels!!" :shades:

Tami I can honestly say I am choked up looking at your pictures. I really feel I could cry with happiness. You are absolutely radiant and in your second picture I think you look just like Shania Twain!! Oh heavens I would have never thought in a million years you had ever been a lb overweight. You look like a person who has been thin her whole life!!

Thank you so much for sticking with it. I know that may sound so strange to you but I've felt really sorry for myself in the past few days because I can't tell much of a physical difference with 22 lbs gone. I guess I thought EVERYTHING would REALLY change at 20lbs. Of course I am wearing smaller clothes, and of course there is a difference....but I have alot of belly hanging up front and virtually no extra weight on my legs or arms AT ALL. Because of that I have a very large stomach and have had 2 c-sections. I can only imagine what my body MIGHT look like at 135. I hope and pray that I will turn out as good as you. I truly mean that. In my mind I see that body when I think about myself at goal! You did it and so can I!!

I hope you will continue to stay on the forum and visit with all of us up and coming...or down and going...lol I would love to be someone who supports you in keeping your fabulous body in tact!!

Thank you again for sharing your fabulous victory! Way to go!!
Cheers!
Christi

Congrats!!! It is so motivating to see someone at goal and you look so radiant!!!

Tami,
You look absolutely MAAAARVALOUS DARLING!!

So, how long did it take you to reach your goal - and how much exercising did you do? You just look perfect - like you've been thin your whole life. I have these "nightmares" that even after I lose my weight - that I'll have flab hanging all over. YUK!!

Good luck on your maintenance now...I'm also scared of that, but I plan on getting rid of all my fat clothes so that even if I start to gain just a little back, I'll hop right back on the train to skinnytown before it gets out of hand again.

Thanks for sharing your photos....you're a true inspiration to ALL of us!!

Dear Tami,
You have got to find one fat photo...you definitely would be a wonderful advertisement for the Take Shape for Life company. I could see your picture in the national magazines and TV!!!

I am going to go back and read all of your posts...you provide all of us with so much inspiration.

I am so excited for you...you are truly glowing!

Gorgeous, Tami!!!! :mrgreen:

Christi, woman, you will be stunning at 135, because you are radiant now with your beautiful hair, bright and genuine smile, and glittering eyes. At 135, your smile will be even wider, and just because you might have had 2 c-sections doesn't mean you won't look wonderful. Your bod will look the best it can be, and that's what matters most. You'll have improved your health and your appearance many times over, and you'll have accomplished something wonderful-- I promise ya, you'll be happy with the results! :mrgreen:

Can't wait to see you at 135! :hug:

Wow Tami! Thank you for posting your inspirational pics - do you see yourself in pictures as marvelous as we see you? (Wish we could see a "before"). I know many of us are soooooo camera shy :oops:

I really admire those who are able to put their faces (& bods) on here for us to enjoy. Instead of hiding when the cameras come out, I've started posing for pics, knowing it's the last time I'm gonna look like this. I want reminders of where I've been when I get where I'm going! This forum is the first time in my life I've ever told anyone what I weigh, so maybe I'll get up the nerve to put a picture in the studio. I know how much I appreciate being able to "see" my fellow MF's (not nearly enough faces to go with names). You know, I haven't seen anyone yet who isn't beautiful (or handsome) to me!
