The dress looks beautiful on you, absolutely stunning. Congratulations on everything you have accomplished and have a wonderful wedding.

Ohhhhhhh, Tammy. You are so beautiful in that dress! It is absolutely perfect! You make the dress--although, it's a beautiful dress-it wouldn't be half as lovely without you in it!

Have a wonderful ceremony! And we want pics of that, too!

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.

Tammy, I am speechless!

You are so beautiful! The dress just adds to your beauty, you make the dress and not the other way around.

We are all so proud of you!!

i showed my DH your before and after picures and he whistled and said how GREAT look

put the self doubt aside if you can cause girl you look wonderful

[PartyofSix]

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 you look absolutely stunning in that dress, your DH is going to be gobsmacked when he sees you in that! You've done such an awesome job losing the weight and now you get to reap the rewards. I hope that when you renew your vows that you feel beautiful inside and out, because you truely are!

 

[PartyofSix]

Catherine thank you for making me smile this morning. Your words are so kind and it means so much to me. I hope you have a great friday you made my day today.

 

[believe]

You look wonderful. I am sure your DH is going to be knocked off his feet. Congratulations on a wonderful accomplishment.

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!

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!!

OMG TAMMY !!!!

When I saw these pictures, my first thought honestly was "Tammy has such a beautiful daughter"!!!

You look absolutely AMAZING !!!!

 

[Suzy Mouse]

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.

 

[yasuern]

Hold it are you the same person OH MY GOD! You look fantastic! You are my new found inspiration!!! If I can look 1/2 as good as you I'll be happy beyond my wildest dreams - Again YOU LOOK AMAZING!!!!

 

[sadeeyore]

Tammy,
You look stunning, your dress is really beautiful . You have come so far with your weight loss - Congratulations

 

[crazyme5kids]

WOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!! Super Model? No way, you're even better looking because they pay lots of people to make them look good. You on the other hand are absolutely naturally gorgeous!

 

[Mom of Sleepy Bashful and BabyDoc]

Oh, Tammy,

I don't think I have any words that have not already been said. So, I want to ditto everything that everyone said 10 TIMES!!

You look incredible.

 

[Robinrs]

Tammy, I just showed Michael your picture and he just grabbed his heart and GASPED!!!

I had told him that you lost the weight but this is the first time he SAW it!!

You have been our inspiration, you have no idea. Michael and I applaud you and bow to your accomplishment. You are a queen, but you always were!

God bless,

Robinrs

Oh my goodness Tammy!!!! I am literally sitting here with goose bumps and tears for you. You have made such an amazing transformation and you are beautiful. You have inspired me to get serious once again and get the rest of this weight off.

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!!

You are an inspiration to us all!!!
