Tammy,

Your NEW clippie is SO pretty!! I know you have worked so hard to get it. You're down 85 lbs, that's simply amazing. Your hard work and dedication has inspired so many of us. Thank-you for always pushing me along and setting a good example for me. Here I am just hoping and praying for my next little clippie and here you're sporting your new, shiney one! hehe. That shows me that you never give up! or should I say, hardly ever give in? I think you're an amazing person and the best Loser I know. I'm glad we found each other -- You mean so much to me. It's been awesome watching you from the very beginning of your journey and now here you are, 85 lbs. lighter!! You're setting such a great example for your daughters. I am so proud of you. You're so close to goal and are skinny already..hehe. How cool is that? Also, while I am at it, I want to thank-you for starting the Operation Trick or Treat challenge. This is the ONLY thing that has pushed me hard enough to begin tryin and losing. And, it's all thanks to YOU. Thanks, Tammy. Have fun on your trip, enjoy yourself and eat something yummy for me!! Congratulations on the new, fat, shiney clippie!!

Love You, my friend!!!

DANG, Woman!!!!!

85 pounds!?!?!? That's like, what, 2 of your kids?

You just keep going, and going, and going... you're a mere shadow of your former self!!!

You know I'm really proud of you. How close are you to your FINAL goal now? You've got to be about there. I know it feels good to think of all you've accomplished this year, and I know your DH and sweet little girls are all very proud of you, too.

Keep up the good work, sweetie!!!!

I have had the best weight wise day and the worst day all at once. I just came home and pulled up a chair to see how my wish buddy's where doing and i saw this thread. Nic you are awesome my friend and you will get to your goals if i have to kick your tail all the way there. Talk about determination look in the mirror my friend you amaze ME. I know you have struggled with your loss's coming slower but look at you you are still going strong that is determination. Wovenwonder, Kathy, Tracy, Kath, and Twotoohappy. I really appreciate you guys taking the time to push me on. These last months have been killer. I'm not QUITE there yet. I keep saying i'll rethink my goals every 5 lbs now. But you i just don't think i'll stop just yet. I have a pair of jeans in my closet that i bought two months ago or so. When i got them they would'nt get over my thighs I try them on every 5lbs or so last night they buttoned in an UPRIGHT position.LOL When i can WEAR them and put change in my pockets and GET IT OUT TOO then i will stop. I don't know how many pounds that will be i'm thinking maybe 5-7 they will be comfy on me cause now there TIGHT VERY TIGHT. I don't know if i'll go all the way down to 135 i'm already sick of being told how SKINNY i am for crying out loud. I had the weirdest thing happen twice today i don't know why but i feel compelled to share it at this moment. I had an older rather larger man come to our shop to have his air checked in his car today and he made a comment to me "you know us fat people have to have cold air" you would'nt know about that and he laughed. Then tonight i was alone in the audience at my dd chorus concert i was in a end chair and this man and women want thru to the middle seats and i started to get up for them when she said "they don't make these aisles large enough for us fat people." I don't know why i'm telling you guys this but maybe it's becuase i felt slighted being smaller now. I don't know it's just weird people that's never met me and don't give a thought to me being so SKINNY now and have know i idea that i have been there. I'm gonna hush i have a crushing headache, my trip looks like it's out for the weekend and i'm just having a terrible day i want to end by going to sleep. Thanks again you all are wonderful to me.

Ah Tammy, that clippie is bea-U-ti-ful! Enjoy it my friend, because you have worked so hard for it! And whatever you decide is the your goal weight, is just that-your goal weight. Take care sweetie. Enjoy the fact that people are seeing you as you are....thin, healthy, and a sweetie to boot!

 

[tiggerlover]

Congratulations, Tammy!!! You are an inspiration. I remember a time a long time ago that we were neck and neck in the weight loss clippies and you just took off and flew right by me, you have done an amazing job.

 

[cinmell]

Congratulations Tammy, 85 pounds is in amazing accomplishment! You are an inspiration not only because you show us that it can be done, you reach out to us when you see us slipping or in a rut to give us support and encouragement.

When my daughter gives me a break I would love to call you and hear how you did it. It's just too hard to have a phone conversation lasting more than 2 minutes with her running around. Thank you for reaching out to me, I can't tell you how much that meant to me, and Congratulations again!

 

[PartyofSix]

I don't know cinmell I really need YOU all. When i've been in trouble there where a handful on wish that send pms' and made phone calls and encouraging emails and that just really meant so much. Kathy, Tracey, Tara, Nicole, & Kath have all took the time to check in, check on and phone me during my troubled times when i felt the scales just hated me and i was doing every thing wrong and there encouragement really pushed me through. When you get down then the phone rings or you open up you mail to wonderful encoraging pms' or emails and see all these people really care and want to see you make it it just helps you so much. I was just hoping it would mean the same to others if i returned the favors i have gotten along my way. I'm so glad to know in someway i have helped motivate you and others. Wish has meant so much to my loss's and i must tell you guys even with TOM visiting yesterday i'm at 149 solid this morning for 85.5 lbs gone and 4lbs from my TOT goal! That's cheered me up. I should know today if my trip for the weekend to HHN at universal is off or on. I'm almost sure it's OFF . Have a great day everyone.

Good for you! and your weight loss! I'm sure it will take a while to settle into your "new" body.

The feeling you described kind of reminded of how I feel when I am without all or some of my kids. I feel like they're so much a part of my identity that I have to tell everyone that I have 3 kids somewhere. Luckily, I don't or they'd throw me out of the A & P.

Congrats again!!

Vivienne

 

[Beanie]

Tammy, your new clippie is simply amazing and it makes me proud of all you have accomplished!! Good for you and keep up the great work! What a wonderful inspiration you are on this board!

 

[JustMe28]

Tammy -- hope you're feeling the LOVE for you. I just want you to know that when I reach a good weight, you can call me Skinny anytime -- lmbo. Just like wovenwonder said, you are the WISH QUEEN (TF's are you reading this?? *giggling*) I hope your trip is still on, Tammy -- you deserve one. Love you!

 

[TigH]

Tammy,

Just wanted to add my congratulations! I remember when I started WISH earlier this year. It seemed like you couldn't change those clippies fast enough. You were passing all of us like the Road Runner!

Now look at you! 85 (and more, I imagine!) pounds lost! WOW!!!!! We need some updated photos of you. That is an incredible amount of weight to lose, you should be EXTREMELY proud of yourself.

I'll be sorry for you if your plans to go away fall through, but don't let it get you down!!!! Think about how far you have come with your weight loss and know that another trip will be in your future soon!!!!!

Congratulations! Goal isn't too far away from you!

 

[catherine]

Congratulations Tammy on your beautiful new shiney clippie. I hope that you're really proud of yourself for all that you have accomplished. I love being a member of WISH and it's people like you who are such an inspiration to me, that keep me motivated. Thank you for sharing your success with me and for being such a motivating factor.

Oh Tammy! You made me laugh and cry all at the same time! I'm a little late to this thread but I really had to let you know how proud I am of you! I think your determination is amazing and is evidenced by your incredible success! Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us.

You just keep doing what you're doing. Loving yourself is the greatest love of all, after all! That is what you do for me. You have turned what for me, has become a self-loathing into self love, and in doing so, inspired those around you to do the same! We are worth the effort! We will not let the rest of the world dictate who we are, or what we will become! You are a great example of that, my friend.
Congratulations on your success and all the best for your continued success!

Keep the Faith!
Tracy

You are looking AWESOME!!!! I have been so out of it with this sickness, that I totally missed the tip off that you got your 85 pound clippie- you're getting so modest about them these days- what no YELLING, NO SCREAMING, NO EARTH SHAKING DANCING???? This is the first time in days I've hit the board and was sooooo thrilled to see the new clippie!!! It is AWESOME!!!

I know this has been a stressful week for ya- keep your spirits up and celebrate this HUGE event for what it is!!!

You're no longer a "FAT" person- you're well under the acceptable weight limits and aiming for GOAL- do you know how HUGE that is??? Well, we all do and we're cheering you on!!!!

WE LOVE YOU!
Tara
