i'm sooo excited!!! YAY

im finding ww really easy to follow and the writeing down of points dont bother me at the moment..but if it does ill get a calculator lol

to be honest i never go to the beach ...its not sandy its pebbled..its seems just so much hassle to pack everything up then find somewhere to park nearly impossible in summer (yes i no i should walk)id rather stay in my garden where everything is at hand.

but your gonna knock em dead girl x

well done tammie your doing sooo well....you go girl x

Wow - a red swimsuit!!! Bet you'll look and feel fantastic in it.

OK... So I broke down and I did it... I ordered the bathing suit i want for my beach vacation. And Guess what.... ITS NOT PLUS size... AND its from VICTORIAS SECRET. its gona be so pretttttttyyyyyyy... its RED. I don't know why I was so drawn to ReD, But... Its what i wanted so i ordered it. It should be here in like... 3 days. And i'll see how it fits etc. NOW we ALL know that VS clothes etc..., run rather small, BUT I took measurements and looked at the size charts sooooo, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it fits. i can't wait to go to the beach and get me some SUuuuuunnnnnnnn!!!! :)

Wow, Tammie! What great before and after pics! Such a difference in your face! You almost don't look like the same person and your eyes really stand out now! I bet you feel so much better too. You are doing an outstanding job of getting in shape and losing weight. I hope you are very proud of yourself as you have definitely earned it! Too bad you're in Texas though...too far away to be my workout buddy! :)

You are doing an awesome job, Tammie! At this rate, you're gonna hit 170 before I do! LOL Keep up the good - no, GREAT - work!

YAY, I'm down 2 more!! I'm super excited!!! I'm almost half way to my end of year goal and that means i'm just over a third of the way to my ultimate goal. In a little over two months. WOW. I can't believe I've done this well and stuck to it this hard. I know that others have a hard time losing weight as do I normally, but this time, its definately different. I guess I have to say that its the fact that not only have I cut my calorie intake, I've been actually up off my butt through this process. Which is NOT something I did before! So, I'm really excited and i'm pattin my self on the back a lot for this accomplishment!!! GO ME!!! AND this week I indulged in a few bites of chocolate cake (which was so sweet it almost made me sick) AND a white chocolate covered strawberry. Just one though. 6 months ago, I'd have wanted a whole pan. So I'm learning, and I'm doing! It feels GREAT!

Congrats on the 4 lbs loss! You know Tae Bo is an INCREDIBLE do at home workout for rainy days. You can buy collections used on eBay for a deal. Cindy and I really enjoy Tae Bo when the weather outside is bad. I was able to do it when I was 350 lbs and it can still kick my butt today at 240 lbs. I'm able to keep up with Billy Blanks a lot better today than in the beginning.

Rooting for you! - William

Tammie,

You are doing so great. It has to be so encouraging to see the older picture and the newer picture and have everyone notice the 33 lb lost.
You are opening a whole new chapter in your life, with the weight loss and school.
What inspiration you are to others.
Your new friends are so proud of you.
Thank you for your constant encouragement too.
Blessings and hugs,
Debbie

Well Today was my weekly weigh in! I've lost 4 lbs since last Tuesday. I'm down 33 all together. I'm so excited. I have been walkin in the mornings still, most of them anyway. I haven't been doin the shred DVD, BUT I did buy myself a jump rope the other day, i'm going to try to do that in the evenings some. Just to vary it up. I also bought a walk at home dvd, for those days when its raining and icky outside. I feel so much better when I work out inthe mornings before i do anything else!

Thanks everyone for your support and motivation! I really appreciate it!!

You are doing a great job!!! Way to go Tammie 29 lbs lost.

Tammie,

You are doing so great !!!
Keep up the great work.
You should be so proud of yourself.
I know your new friends are !!!!!

My goodness - I walk 1.2 miles in 25 minutes and I'm hustling. Can't imagine doing twice that in the same amount of time. Walking at 6 a.m.?? Jeez!! You don't log your workouts?? I love watching my workout graphs.

This morning I got up and walked my two miles...in about 30 minutes, with an incline one way. Last night I did the Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred video. I didn't make it 100% of the way through all at one, I got interrupted by a visitor So I tried to just kinda pick up where I left off because it was so late. I think I'm going to continue to do the video only I'm going to do it in the A.M. Either before or after I walk. Probably after. I don't want to get up at 5 A.M. 6 is more than early enough for me. (I meet the ladies I walk with at 6:05). Anyhooo, I'm trying to make myself stay away from the scales every day, but I'm almost obsessed. This morning i had a scrambled egg and two sausage links. And I realized after I ate that I should have really only eated 1/2 of it because I was overstuffed. BUT O well, its the first meal of the day. It's oK if its a lil Much RIGHT? For lunch I'm having Tuna and a few crackers. And for dinner tonight, I'll have some Chicken Salad on a piece of wheat bread. For Dessert and Snacks....FROZEN GRAPES!! They are my favorite. My Mid morning snak was a few almonds. Just to get some Fiber in. I know its not much, but better than nothing.

Dear Tammie,

Thanks so much for the motivator request. I've accepted and will work to keep up with it. I will say, I have moved over to sparkpeople.com , as I think that site has a lot more features and a great biggest loser group. You might want to check it out. My username on there is wmhaynes. I'm honored that you'd ask me to be your motivator and thank you for the words of encouragement!

Many Blessings, William

Tammie,

You are doing great. 25 pounds out the door, and not coming back !!!!!!
Enjoy your vacation week.

Hey pudding! You are doing such a kick A job! So very proud of you. You didn't let that 2 mile hike on Monday kick your butt and I know you won't let anything stand in your way!

Hey there! We can do this! I'm going to tell myself that the immediate payoff of the taste of food is SOOOOOOOOO outweighed by the long term payoff of good health and feeling/looking good and having lots of energy!!!! Keep up the great work and have a SUPER weekend! :)

Go Tammie!!! You are headed in the right direction keep it up.

OK... well this weekend I've done prettywell on the food front. The exercise... not so much. I did however fry in the swimming pool on Saturday I wonder if that will take any lbs off when all my skin peels off??? hhmm interesting thought. Yesterday was So hard to say no to an Ice Cream Cake for my favorite little boys' birthday!! BUt i did. Instead i ate a wienie and some grilled deer steak. So i did pretty well. Does it EVER get easier to say NO to chocolate though??? I bought a York patty the other morning at the store, walked into my friends house chunked it to her and told her to take it away from me, as I do not need it. UGH... I just hope that on Thursday, My efforts have paid off. I have a vacation coming up soon and I'd like to look half way decent on the beach. not perfect, but not like the beached whale either!!! Thanks for the support guys and gals!

good luck reaching your goals....I just recently started too.

Hey Chickeepoo! I am so proud of how well you are sticking with this!
