and started my new healthy lifestyle of food and exercise. I have lost 186 pounds, and reached my goal weight in Nov, 2010.
I was teaching bootcamp at my gym tonight when I realized today was my "anniversary".
Happy day to me!!


If your just starting out and you dont think you can do it, think again. I am proof that you can!!

    You are one of my inspirations. i'm heading down the same path as you and i am not at goal yet but i'm getting closer by the day. i'm down a total of 138lbs at the moment from the day i realized i weighed 360lbs and that was completely unacceptable. Can't wait to hit goal like you.

    You inspire me, Tami!! :smile: I started out at the end of July at 380, and it's slowly coming down. Success stories like yours make me feel like I'm not crazy for thinking this is completely doable!!

    'Tis a Very Special Day fer a Sweet Lassie! It was two years ago today that you launched a wonderful new plan that changed your life. You sweated 'n suffered. At times, you had more pain than gain but you stayed with your program to become healthy and drop-dead gorgeous. You became a fine example to thousands and a great role model to keep the rest of us on the straight 'n narrow path to our own good health. You are loved & admired for all your hard work & achievement. This little e-card is filled with hugs from all of the dancing teddy bears. Now, after you've rested, go show the world how you can do your own Irish Jig.
    With love and lots o' hugs,
    Claire FitzGerald

    When I found you on MFP a few weeks after starting in May, that inspired me to reach for more. If I hadn't seen your story I probably would have got 30 lbs off and then decided that is fine, I'll stop there. However when I read you wanted to be fit at forty and had like a year and a half to do it, I was like hmmmmm....I had a year & a half till I would be 40. Therefore I decided to go for it as well, since you did it! I have till Oct 2011 till I'm 40 and I'm over halfway there, thanks to you!

    Thank you for being such an inspiration to me and to everyone else that you have inspired as well. You amaze me, Tami! :flowerforyou:

  • Your pics are crazy amazing! In your "after" pics you look like the little, younger sister of your "before" pics! Words are just not adequate for what you have accomplished, and I can only imagine how much better you FEEL! Thanks for inspiring!

    You are definitely an inspiration to me. :flowerforyou: I first joined MFP in February 2009. Here I am almost 2 years later with only 3 pounds gone from that date. I did lose 21 lbs but gained 18 back. This time Im working more on the inner workings of me...the way I think...the way I use food for comfort. But I do want to thank you and other MFP members who share with us and inspire us to stick with it. You truly are proof that we can all do it...if we stick to it! :happy:
