What It Feels Like When You Reach Your Goal

Tammi, age 34, has succeeded in her weight loss goal. She's lost 130 pounds! She was at her heaviest after giving birth at 275 pounds and is  now in the 140's.  Here are close-ups of her face at her heaviest and current weight.

It's not that often people show close-ups of the changes in their face before and after the weight loss so it's neat to see the transformation.

But Tammi also has lots of other great pics of her front view, side view and back view along the weight loss journey. So check them out, they are very inspiring.

Also read her thoughts about what it feels like at 149 versus 275.

No More Need for Comfort Food


Thanks to Gayle for sending in these pics and story!

Every year I was getting bigger. Snacking was an entertainment and comfort to me. But then I would get bigger and go to food for more comfort. Well, you get the idea!

My small frame was putting on the pounds and I was getting increasingly uncomfortable, both physically and emotionally, from how my body was changing.

Then I was introduced to Weigh Down Ministries' weight-loss classes, The Weigh Down Diet book, and the Rise Above book, all by the program's founder, Gwen Shamblin. I love these resources, and Weigh Down Ministries makes them so affordable - some are even free: weighdown.com and remnantfellowship.tv! They are full of common sense and heart-changing examples that showed me how to stop running to food for comfort. It made so much sense! I put it into practice, and the weight started coming off immediately.

I continue today in what I have learned: how to eat like a thin eater, satisfied and not controlled by any longing for food. My weight has been steady for over 10 years... and this is my high school weight! No diet foods in this program; I get to eat regular foods. Also, I am very active; but there is no regimented work-out program here. No more depression; but so much JOY!

I started to change by applying Weigh Down principles when I was 46, and now at 59 I feel so young! I LOVE sharing this with others, because it changed my life in so many wonderful ways!

Weight Loss After Personal Crisis


Thanks to Jason for sending in these pics and story!

I was 288 lbs at my heaviest after years of being lazy in a bad marriage. A divorce and my fathers death triggered a chain reaction that led me to a healthier life style. Eight months in the gym, 6 to 7 meals a day with a proper nutrition led has put me at my current weight of 218lbs!!

I'm not finished yet. I'm concentrating more on body fat % then weight. I started above 35% and I'm down to 15% now. I'm shooting for 9% body fat at around 205lbs.
