Ok, honesty here, the doc was really mad at me at my last app't as I have gained 40 lbs in the last year. I know how it happened just hadn't realized that it was quite that much. So, I made Tuesdays my weigh in days and when I stepped on the scale this morning, I have lost 20 of that 40 and am feeling great about that. I want to lose another 60 lbs and make it down to onederland with so many of you. I am stepping up to the plate and am giving myself this year to make that goal. Thank you for all the loving words and support that have been given and will be given!

Wow PoohGal! That's astonishingly wonderful! You are a powerhouse... What an inspiration.
Thanks for posting your challenges and your major success! This is the kind of thing
that reminds me that my mission is achievable when I make up my mind to work a good
plan for living!

Congratulations - please keep us posted...you are always there with a kind word for everyone - please let us be there for you on the journey as well!

Congrats on the weight loss! I don't know if the stress of the past few weeks was worth it, but a loss is a loss. Hopefully, the rest of this year will see you losing the weight you want to without any help from running to & from hospitals.

Please take care of yourself so we have you around the neighborhood for a long, long time.

WOOHOO TAMI!!

Congratulations on losing half of your regain! THAT IS AWESOME!!

It is hard to get back on track especially when you have so much going on in your life...but you've DONE IT and are DOING IT!!

Tami, I have absolutely no doubt that you will reach any goals that you set your heart and mind to. When is your next appt with your dr. Maybe you could make a mini goal for then? It seems for some of us life will always get in the way if we let it. I think that it is amazing that you have already cut half of the gain down. You will be reaching new goals in now time! There is a nice comfy cozy spot in wONEderland just waiting for ya :)

taking back control smooches xx

I can't wait for the celebration when you get to onederland! The fact that you have already lost half of your regained weight certainly says that you are committed to achieving this goal. I know that you will get there. Have a great 2008 Tami!!!

Thank you for all the kind words. I am trying very hard, but am so tired right now that I am giving into myself a little. Don't need to strain something, just need to keep on doing the right things. Clothes are fitting a little better and I am feeling more hourglass shaped again and that is nice. Now, to get back to feeling bony and then some! I am working at it!

Go Tami! Go! Go! That is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo awesome!!!!! I am rootin' for you! (I'd even do a cartwheel for you, but I'm afraid I might break something...like a leg, a neck, an arm...you get the picture!) But just know that I'm doing 1 in virtual-land just for you!!!!! :o) Maybe by the time you get to onederland I'll do 1 for real!!!

Blessings!!!!!

Hey Tami,
This is the first time that I've seen this post.

Great job on the twenty down and great job on your personal goal. The real success is that you are not accepting the gain and are taking control. That is terrific!

Sorry I'm just getting to this. I'm so happy for you. I can't wait to do the big happy dance, but for now, please KNOW that I'm doing lots of little happy dances for you. You so deserve to reach this goal.
