    Hi Tami. Your pictures and your story are so motivational, thanks for sharing. I'm curious what foods were your biggest weaknesses prior to starting this journey?

    Hmm, I think it was more about portions in my case. I just ate entirely too much for my body and metabolism. However, I have always had a weakness for comfort foods. Hmm, go figure! I turned to food for "comfort". UGH! :):tongue:

    You are a complete inspiration Tami. Seriously! Why else would I have just gotten up, changed into my gym gear, done a few reps of press ups and lunges, then gone for a run in the Australian summer in the middle of the day? ;)

    Phew..hot now, but totally worth it.

    You're amazing.

    Half yourself! 50%! Totally amazing! You are a true inspiration to all of us who have a lot of weight to lose. I am trying to lose 42% of myself.. and well on my way, but seeing before and afters of those who have already done that and more is helpful in keeping pointed in the right direction :)

    That is why I posted this. I know it's easy to tell people about success but to actually see it in before/after photos...is another thing. I know seeing stories like that is what helped me keep going to reach my full potential! :wink:

    I am so happy I could help. :bigsmile:

    Thank you for this post Tami. I have been putting off conceiving baby no. 2 in fear of additional weight gain. I wasn't prepared to carry a baby while weighing 264 lbs!

    But looking at your before and after pictures, I can't wait to kick it to 2nd gear on my journey to weight loss and healthy lifestyle. I am still struggling with comfort foods and occasional binging. But I am getting there, I know it ... and reading inspirational posts on success stories like yours is just what I need :)

    You look great Tami, and I can't wait to share my sucess story to inspire others too :)

Just gotta keep believing and don't ever give up! Thanks again, you look wonderful girl!

    Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I literally joined this site a few minutes ago. Yours is the very first post I have checked out. Your pics really are worth a thousand words! I was always thin until being hit by a drunk driver several years ago. My weight ballooned from 128 to my current weight today of 298. I usually fluctuate now between the 270's and the 290's. Reading your story is such an encouragement. You were very pretty before, but now you look unbelievable!

    Thank you so much for posting your success story. It is my greatest desire for people to see very similar pictures of me in the future!!

    Thanks for sharing your success!

    Thank you for sharing, Tami! You were a big inspiration to me last January when I started this journey. I often think of your "peanut butter" thread, because you and I both love the stuff. Think I will go have a spoonful with my breakfast in your honor. Have a great New Year!
