Update with my dress pictures

[PartyofSix]

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? 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!

WOWZIE, WOWZIE WOO WOO!!!! YOU LOOK AMAZING!!! SUCH AN INSPIRATION TO US ALL!!!

Thanks for sharing with us......

It's been said many times, but I have to repeat it. When I saw your dress picture, I said, "Oh my God!" too!
You are beautiful!

What an inspiration you are to all of us here!

 

[ohMom]

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!

Tammy, I've said it before and I'll say it again. . .
<marquee behavior=alternate>You are my inspiration!!!</marquee>
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!

 

[perfectmatch300]

Tammy, you look absolutely amazing in that dress!
Someone early on in this thread said you look like a princess, & I absolutely agree! Your DH will be speechless when he sees you in it for sure!
I hope you have a truly magical vow renewal!

 

[Octoberbride03]

You look amazing in your dress. Its soooo beautiful. That is definitely the right dress. And after all your hard work you absolutely deserve it. Congrats on the weight loss and the 10th Anniversary.

 

[Blueeyes101817]

those pictures are great and the dress is BEAUTIFUL!! you look great

 

[AlreadyexcitedGrammy]

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!

The very best to you -positive thoughts only

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.

Tammy!!!!

Like some of the others, I am finding my way back to the WISH boards and what do I see but your stunning dress photos! WOWSERS!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! I really do!! It is the PERFECT dress!! I love the back and the way it flows. The veil looks amazing too!! This is definitely not a dork dress but the dress of one HOT MAMA!!!!!!!!!

I am so excited for you!! I can't wait to see even more pics!!

 

[zurgswife]

WOW!!! heard about you in chat...and had to come take a look.....YOU LOOK MAVALOUS DALING!!!!!!!....

I can't believe it is the same person...i had to look a couple of time....

You go Girl!!!!

 

[maryliz]

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 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 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

Tammy:

I was wondering about you the other day. Glad to see you are back.

Now, about that dress - it is stunning. You should be extremely proud of yourself - you look wonderful.

Enjoy every minute of your anniversary celebration!

Congratulations!

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. It's so nice to be here with all of you again and get to meet new memebers that are on there way to health and happiness!

Antmaril: It's nice to be wishing again and i am so glad you found my thread. I just love hearing from you.

MaryLiz: I know you'll be at your goal weight and be maintaining by ther marthon. That's the reason i signed up. I KNEW i was gonna loose some weight and i needed something to look forward to to maintain it. I can't wait to see you in 05!

Zurgswife: I'm glad you came in and said hi! OMG chat i was being chatted about.LOL How cool i hope it was all good i'll just pray it was a wish chat cause i know the people here are so great even bad is good.LOL

Geety: Gal have had you been? I missed you around. I hope you are okay and i'm so happy to see your sparkly personality here on wish. You bring so much fun with you are a treasure.

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.

I gotta run i'm exhausted from my trip and i'm so i did'nt get to thank you all personally but did want to stop on the thread. Thank you all so much and you can bet we will have pic's out the wazzzzzzzzuuuuuuu when i get home. I'll keep you guys posted.

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!
