Tammy... what an inspirational post. I'm juest beginning the journey and visited my PCP yesterday for a referral. What do you attribute keeping toned up and not having excess skin? Did you excercise during your WL? If so.. what kind? Keep up the great work.. I LOVE reading success stores! --Barb

Hi Tammy. Wondering where you have been lately, and wondering how you are doing. I have no idea what that could be but let us know when you find out. Congrats on your outstanding success.

I SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY~*~ I said a prayer for you today And know God must have heard- I felt the answer in my heart Although He spoke no word I didn't ask for wealth or fame, I knew you wouldn't mind, I asked Him to send treasures Of a far more lasting kind, I asked that He'd be near you At the start of each new day, To grant you health and blessings And friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small, But it was for His loving care I prayed the most of all.
