Under 200 and OVERWEIGHT!

Congratulations Tara! I aspire to be where you are today! Can't wait to shop at Old Navy, LL Bean and Coldwater Creek! My kind of clothes! Ann 45 lbs and counting!

I am definitely a jeans and t-shirt kinda gal. Love LL Bean - never checked out Coldwater Creek before. Congrats on 45 pounds!!!! Tara

It's an incredible feeling - thank you Linda!!! Oh I was definitely doing a happy dance. I called my husband into the bedroom to see the scale. Well, I thought he'd be a little more excited for me, but whatever. Shopping is real addictive. I try to find the bargains though! So I got one pair of jeans, a pair of jean capris, pair of khakis, a tank top, a t-shirt and a dress shirt. All for about $70. Tara

Hey Tara, I cannot wait to weight under 200 pounds and that must be feel good about yourself I am so excited to see you on Sept 11 th and see you nice outfit jean pant into small size Hugs Kathy K

Thanks Kathy - I do feel good about myself. It's a big decision to lose weight this way and there are a lot of sceptics out there. I'm happy with my decision, that is for sure. Yay! Can't wait to see you on the 11th! I am supposed to do an appearance for Star at the Norwalk Oyster Festival on the 11th, but changed it to the 12th! Still working on getting the night off from The Fox, but it might work! So - looks like I really might be able to make it! Tara

Yay!!! Does it not feel great to get under that 200 number?!?! Don't spend too much on those clothes -- at this point you'll be going through a size a month! I remember after about 2 months all the pants would become, in my words, "party pants" -- I could pull them off without unbuttoning/zippering them. It was a great feeling! You rock, girl!! Kathy F.

HAHAHA@Party Pants! Okay that is real funny stuff. You are right though. My last ones, size 20, could be pulled right off my hips. Hot stuff! Look out! Thanks Kathy .. love you!!! Tara

Rock on, Sista! I'm so proud of you! -Deb

Thank you Deb! So excited! I'm doing a happy dance right now. A good friend of mine told me that I am hot! Whoa .. right on!

Woo Hoo! What a great accomplishment and must be a great feeling! I have to say, I can't wait. As always, what an inspiration!! Phyllis
