This Saturday, Sept 6th...is my one year anniversary of my new lifestyle. That day, I stepped on the scale and saw 270 and my heart dropped. I guess I had been in denial because I hadn't weighed in awhile. But, seeing that number scared me. Hearing my husband say how worried he was because of my snoring, etc. It was kind of surreal, but a time I won't forget.

I didn't join MFP until Feb, but I was doing the same thing. Counting calories, journaling them, exercising, etc..

Anyway, if someone had told the Tami of last September that one year later she could be SO much healthier and have lost SOO much weight, she probably wouldn't have believed it! The whole "task" of losing that much weight was truly daunting. But, I figured my weight could go up or down and I chose to have it go down, taking it one week at a time.

So anyway, I feel like I should do something to commemorate the day.......but not quite sure what! LOL! Any suggestions??? LOL!

OH, and I have stopped snoring completely!!

Take care all!!!!!!

Go buy yourself a cute outfit and have a hot date with your husband! Wear something you never would have dreamed about wearing this time last year.

Congrats, Girl!:bigsmile:

Spa day!!! spa day!! (I love spa days. . .even though my wallet doesn't)

A mani-pedi is a good indulgence, and a massage is even better.

That's what I did when I reached what I thought was my goal weight (then I re-evaluated and lowered the goal).

You should most definitely do something to celebrate your success!!

Go out to a great restaurant and eat some lobster and broccoli, no butter!
:laugh:

Happy anniversary, I think you deserve a weekend to celebrate. A night or two in a professionally run hotel is so indulgent.

110 lbs in a year. That's amazing. My goal is a measly 50 lbs in the next year. If you can do double that I know I can do it. I CAN I CAN I CAN (notice I didn't say think )

Sign up for a 10k! :drinker:

I wonder if she would get any looks sitting in a fancy restaurant eating lobster and broccoli and pulls a bottle of no cal spray butter out of her purse! :laugh: :laugh:
congrats tami, last time I saw a post from you, you ticker said 105, now its at 110!!!

TamTastic

Thanks everyone!! I appreciate everything you have said!! You guys rock! And being on MFP since Feb has DEFINITELY been a huge part of staying on track and getting this far!!! Big, sloppy kisses to all!! :laugh: :smooched: :smooched: :smooched:

I have thought of getting a tattoo!!! LOL!!!!! Like something symbolic of the weight lifted from me.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!

I don't have one spec of ink on me! The only thing on this bod is freckles (and a few stretch marks from carrying a 9 lb baby boy!! :laugh: :laugh: )

I say you should celebrate with a nice bottle of.....Sweet Baby Rays!

Woohoo water skiing! I've never done it before, but last night I DREAMT I went...and it was so fun! It's a sign, Tam...you need to go water skiing! :laugh:
A tatt would be really cool too! I think the spa day also sounds like a lot of fun. Then maybe get dressed up and go dancing with the hubby...that would probably help with the baby stuff too. :bigsmile:

Tami,
i think that you should take Ali, Soupy, myself and all your other MFP friends on a trip to celebrate with you. Maybe we could celebrate with you in Hawaii? Ireland? Switzerland? Greece? All of the above!!!:flowerforyou:
