I have'nt been around much posting lately. I've been so busy these last few months. I wanted you all to know that i still come and read and when i feel i can offer somthing i jump in. A big hi to Dan i read your post the other day. Congradulations to Kathy and Robin on your new "jobs". Kathy I'll be talking to you soon i have so much to tell you. Cinmell, wiskband, kaye and jim you guys are rocking! I love reading your post ya'll have really hung in there and look at the pay off! And to all my other wish buddy's you guys are amazing and i'm inspired reading your posts. As for me i'm doing great and keeping my weight off i still have'nt gotten those last 5 bls yet but i'm in no hurry i'm very happy where i'm at hanging in the low 140's. I mentioned before i've been busy and some of my wish buddy's know why. We are celebrating our 10th anniversary soon and we are renewing our vows on rosemary beach in florida. We are doing it all the dress, cake, reception, flowers pictures everything complete with a two part honeymoon. We have rented a house and are having close family and friends come to the ceremony. The inspiration for my weight loss was this event. Today was especially close to my heart reminding me of what this board and members here mean to me. I got THE call my dress was in from the designers! OMG my heart sank. I tried on the dress back in january two sizes to small so i'm frantic about how it's really gonna look on me now. I think i'll be okay but without this board and loosing all the weight i needed to i could have NEVER pulled off this gown style and hopefully i will be able to wear it without looking like a dork in it. :) I should have the gown by friday and my fitting is tuesday so sometime between now and then i will be back and post pictures. I just wanted to stop by and say that even though i'm not here posting i'm reading and i have not forgotten about you all. This board is and the people here are the reason i can be so excited about my big event.

Hi guys. I was'nt getting a email that i had replies i just dropped by and saw all of the responses. Hey my dress should make it today guys.! They second day usps it to me. I"m so nervous you have no idea. When ya'll see that dress you'll understand my well being worried how it'll look. That thing will WEAR ME not the other way around. LOL It's sorta an informal but not. It's not puffy and church like it's more flowing made of a chiffon skirt with no poof to it really. I"m almost certain i will not wear any slip under it i don't want the poof either. I'm doing a beach wedding you know i don't want to get all out there and be looking silly in a huge gown. Oh i'm trying to stay calm but i'm so wired and i can't tell you how much you all mean to me. At least i want hear you all laughing at me and i know you'll all be honest and tell me if i look like a dork right. Ya'll would'nt let me wear something that looked alwful would you? I have time and can wear off the rack stuff so i want honesty more than anything. Oh and when ya'll see my hair have no fear. IT's me i have gone blonde and i have'nt had my appointment yet so it's looking tired that's the 15th i go in for that so it's nice and fresh looking. Okay i'm gonna get dressed for work and try my best not to knock the ups man down if i see the truck at work today. (the dress will come to our business) I have camera in tow and batteries charged i could come home with pictures today! I will post as soon as i get home and update you guys hopefully with the pictures.

Okay honestly what do you think? I so feel like a dork in this gown. It is not tied properly in the back but i did'nt want to knot it just to try it on it will be a block not for the cermony this is bow tied and dropping in some pics.

Tammy - I don't really know you nor do I know what you looked like before but I will tell you that you and the dress are beautiful. It's a very pretty dress and I don't think you look like a dork in it. From the looks of your clippie, you have come a LONG way. Congratulations on that! Congrats on your 10th Anniversary too, I know that can be a challenge too. Enjoy your big day and don't let stress ruin it for you.

Have a magical day, Renee princess:

OH MY GODDDD!!!!!

You look like a PRINCESS!princess:

It's so hard to believe there was another 95 pounds on that awesome bod just over a year ago...

The dress is simple, elegant, gorgeous, and PERFECT for you.

I'm going back to look again now. princess: :sunny:

I love the tie in the back, the simple drapy-ness of the whole thing, and the BLONDE! Hello!!! That's YOU!

How I wish I could see Dub's face when you stroll across the sand to take his hand, again.

I really appreicate all the support. I really am so nervous still. I thought i could get home look at the pictures and calm down and relax about the dress but i have'nt yet. It feels great on i just thing it's so not me. I got this Maggie cause my husband and i sat down and looked at her ENTIRE collection he narrowed his likes down to five and of course this one was number one to him. So that's what i got it. I love it too don't get me wrong but just self consious about the dress.

For those that i did'nt get a chance to know yet i posted some pictures over my dress pictures in the same post. Lord that was freaky to look back like that. But it gives you an idea of what 95 lbs might look like on a 5"8 frame. I'm 142 now and a size 8 in jeans if that helps anyone trying to calucalate. I was a size 20 and a 1/2x shirt. I know i'm never gonna be a super model mom i have triplet girls that will turn 4 this june and a 12 yo girl. I just want to TRY to keep up with them and being so heavy it was really wearing on me esp. after my difficult pg with the triplets.

Tammy - Now I really think you look beautiful. Thanks for sharing your other pictures with us. One of the main reasons I am losing the weight is so that I am not ashamed to have pictures taken with my kids. As a matter of fact, there aren't a lot of them to share with you. I wouldn't even know how to put one here. I will have to research that a bit. ANYWAY, I think you have done a great job. --Renee

To think that you all take the time to respond in my time of needing reassurance is just heartwarming to me. I think luv2nascar is right. I still see myself as a 200+ lb women trying to pull off a risky dress. It was really alkward today i tried on that dress but i never looked in the mirror not once! I only looked at it when i got home and saw the photos i downloaded here on wish. It's kinda surreal to me i know that sounds stupid but it's just hard getting in the mind set i could look decent in something so beautiful. I really wanted a Maggie Sottero wedding gown but i never dreamed i'd have a backless one! What was my dh thinking i guess he does'nt see me as i see my self. He said that's my favorite right off the bat. He does'nt know which dress i picked out and will not see it until we are at the ceremony. I did'nt even bring it home it's in storage at my dad's business. So he'll be totally surpised i actually got his favorite on the bright side this has inspired me to get my butt back to the gym asap.LOL I was seeing some nice toning for a few weeks but i got so wrapped up in projects at work and weddding planning i have'nt been in almost 3 weeks. So i'll be back at in no time flat now.

Thank you all so much for the reassurance. I can''t believe kayla you showed you dh. How sweet to add his comments. I'm trying to talk myself out of doubting myself. I"m gonna stay with this dress. It was my second dress i had another one on order that I picked out. It was very plain and not showy at all but i was afraid it was too simple. It had no beading or anything that would pop out at you. I guess i wanted to blend. I wish i could look in the mirror and see what you all have seen. I am gonna try to loose a few more pounds before my big day. I want to do all i can to try to pull this dress off. My arms have toned a bit from the gym but my tummy still needs work. I don't want to gain a lb from my 142 i'd love to get down to my low of 138 if possible. I'm not gonna sweat it though the gown is perfect at my current weight.

Tammy, your pictures made me cry, but these are tears of joy for you!!! You look so beautiful in your vow renewal dress - truly like a princess!! Do not doubt your choice of dress, girlfriend! Your husband's jaw is going to DROP when he lays eyes on you in that dress! :earseek:

Please know that getting used to your "new" body may take some time. Maybe you should have DH or someone else take some current pictures of you. Then keep those pictures with you and look at them several times a day. When you close your eyes and try to picture yourself, you can only picture you the way you were. Look at some current pics on a regular basis and your mind will be able to picture you as you are now.

Tammy, enjoy your big day, but more importantly, enjoy EVERY day. You've succeeded at doing what so many people have tried to do and failed - you've become a much healthier person and that's a gift to your husband, your kids, your family and friends, and especially yourself!!

You ROCK!! :sunny: :sunny: :sunny:

I found myself tearing up looking at your pictures. What an inspiration you are to so many people who struggle with themselves and the goals they set to reach. It's extremely difficult to set a goal, strive toward it and finally reach it.

Just reading what others wrote and hearing your words respond to them show not only how beautiful you are on the outside...but also how truly beautiful you are on the inside.

Please take the time to view those amazing pictures and try to find a way to enjoy the new "home" that beautiful soul of yours resides in.

It is really hard to look in the mirror and see the real NEW you but we can look for you and let me tell you girl you ARE beautiful and you DO deserve to be wearing such a beautiful dress. Your dh has good taste and he knew you could pull this off!!

What do you tell a group of people that have helped you, consoled you and offered there time to help you? I just have to say that i am just amazed by the friendships i have made here on wish. Dan you made me cry today at lunch when i checked this thread. I have teared up with almost every post i have read in this thread. I think i'm gonna print it and take it with me to my fitting for the dress on tuesday to keep me postive. Robin you and Micheal all so sweet I can't wait to hook up at universal with you all again. And hopefully i'll be meeting a lot of you at the wish walk in jan 05. I have been thinking seriously about trying to take off my last five pounds just to have so ley way with the trip but i'm just not pumped up to do it. Everyday i get the don't loose no more you'll look sick. They can't see my pudgy tummy though. I did get motive to get back to the gym this morning although i was running a temp and felt horrible. My husband sent me home from work early today and i have just laid around like a limp doll. My legs are so sore. I'm going out of town monday to do some shopping for our trip it's almost here. Lets see 27 days before we leave! I was one pound from my 100 lb goal back in jan but i've been somewhat happy to maintain since november 142-144. I eat what i want which is nice then i chill for a few days and it just works for me. I think i just need some serious gym time to firm my tummy/butt up and if i can get 5lbs in the mean time that would be cool too. I'm rambling i know but i just want to share with you all without starting another thread. I'm not good in a crowd i like to just jump in where no body notices me. Hmmmmm think that's related to my fear of the dress? Standing out in the crowd and not blending in? :eek: I really do appreiciate each one of you taking the time to reply to me. If there is anything you guys need even when i'm not around all the time. Help, advise, or just someone to hash out a stall with i'm here and would love to help you. Look at Kaye&Jim ask her about her Tammy spagetti.LOL I enjoyed every pm kaye!

tammy -- i feel left out -- pout pout -- been off pc for a few days on spring break and I missed this very important thread!

i scrolled up and down at least three times to make sure it was the same person, I recognize your B4 pics b/c i've seen them before, but i wasn't real sure that was you :)

you look like a true princess, slender and you have just the right curves at your waist and a little collarbone and a toned back -- you look at those pics time and time again until you see the beautiful bride that we all see for you! you look radiant!

may your day be absolutely perfect for you, you deserve it and you look stunning! can't wait to see a pic of the big day! enjoy yourself, relish every compliment b/c you are worth each one!

I am in awe of what you have done, and, following in your footsteps, I, too, will (one day) reach that same plateau. But first I have to kick start myself off of this plateau. I am so excited for you, DH and those little girls who are going to have you around for a LONG time. Enjoy this, my friend. You are so beautiful and you deserve it!

tissues when you need one ?????? Oh Tammy - I have been AOL a few days and then just thought I could "hop" on boards for few minutes at lunch - but I didn't bring I darn kleenex with me and I am typing through very misty eyes. You are such a BEAUTIFUL person - not one more negative thought in - just take care - get well and let it all "fall into place"

Is there going to be a web cam broadcast from the beach? I know WISH has some folks with alot of clout and knowledge ;)

Okay - but take LOTS and LOTS of pixs, please we all want to feel part of this beautiful day and ceremony!

WOW! You look so great! What an accomplishment. I too am 5' 8" and am truly insprired by you. I started a bit higher than you (248) and have lost 28 pounds so far. I have several goals-1st to get down to what I was in 2000 before I had my 2nd & 3rd child (210), then onderland, then what I was in 1993 before I went to graduate school (185) and then maybe...what I was when I got married 20 years ago (165). You have given me renewed hope that I can make those goals a reality.

How do your girls react to the new you? They must LOVE having a mom who can keep up with them. Do they recognize old photos of you? I want to loose this weight first for me but also for my children (ages 5,3,1). As my oldest starts public school I don't want them to be embarrased by their fat mom.

Good luck tomorrow with your fitting and enjoy your very special day.

WOW !!! You are a beautiful princess, and when you add that new dress to the mix, you are the most beautiful princess I've ever seen! I'm among the teary-eyed at work while I read this post. Your DH knew exactly what he was doing when he picked out that dress. He sees you as he has for the past 10 years ... the love of his life. And he knew that this dress would be absolutely perfect on you. However, I do suspect that his eyes will :earseek: when he sees you on that magical day. I do understand what you're saying about still seeing the "old you" ... it's a tough adjustment to make mentally. I've always hated having pictures taken, but especially because of the weight. You've given me new inspiration ... how did you possibly know that I really needed that right now :D I cannot wait to see actual pics from the big day, and in less than a year, I will get to meet you at the 1/2 marathon. Maybe I'll even be down to your size :teeth:

Sorry i missed all these new post. I had to go out of town for a couple of days. I had my dress fitting today before i came home and it was fantastic. She's gonna move the halter position so the bust does'nt push out anymore. I'm so excited.

Lovesdumbo: My kids really did'nt notice it was sooo in kid terms you know. They do see my pictures and ask me if it's me though. They are'nt quite sure.LOL My oldest daughter that will be 12 in a couple weeks. She thinks i'm the coolest, hippest mom in the world. I went to get her outta band one day and the next day she came home to tell me her friends asked her if i was her sister.LOL She's constantly wanting to wear my cool hipster jeans with the rag out legs and my neat tank tops.LOL It's so funny. I bought me a shirt very very short to wear to bike week with my husband a few weeks ago. She saw that and had a fit. Of course i don't wear things like that here at home or anywhere.

It's been said many times before but I'll say it again, OMG Tammy you and the dress are absolutely BEAUTIFUL ! You should not be doubting yourself at all. You have worked sooooo hard and accomplished so much you should be very proud of yourself. You lost 95+ pounds, that is something to be so very proud of and you are such an inspiration to so many of us. The dress looks perfect on you! Please take lots of pictures on the big day! Enjoy your special day! :sunny: :sunny: :sunny:

Hello! Guess who?? Bensbride050204!!! I finally found my way over to the disboards and I did a search for you and found you! I didn't really read this journal yet-as I wanted to just say hello. I have been reading all kinds of tips and tricks today (no clients all afternoon-got to love long weekends!)

anyway, I just had to say again how I love your dress and you look FAB!!!
