Sorry about the last post - it was my first attempt to post a reply and messed it up. ;)
Wow - what a great job!! Lots of willpower too! I just started phen on Tues. and joined Curves Tues. night. I hope I have great success like you did. I am determined to lose the weight this time - I am 5'2" - weigh 173 - goal is 150 to start. If I get to that goal then I will make a new one!!! Small steps first and then the final outcome will be a great be huge step "SUCCESS". You stated God helped you - I am looking to him this time around too.
Thank you for the post - it has gave me inspiration and a huge boost to let me know I can loose this unwanted weight!!!!

[Stayingstrong]

Everytime I look at my before & after pics and then I look at yours it is almost weird to see that we both lost weight in the same places: my fat on back seemed to just melt and now my lower stomach and hips are really my only touble spots ;) Don't you just love the FIRM? :heartpump: Tammy

[runs with scissors]

Wow, what a hottie. I swear I'm going to have before and after pictures just as dramatic!!

:heart: Bethany

Bethany, you will I promise, but you have to share them with us OK ;) Tammy

[runs with scissors]

Hey after all the hardwork I will be more than willing to show you the soft, mushy, flabby body that I transformed. :D

:heart: Bethany

[jamijeff]

Thanks girls!
Yes I love the firm! I am now starting to see a real difference in my stomach and hips! Those tapes are tough but the pay off is amazing!

Each week I can tell a big difference. I am thankful mostly for the back fat to be gone.

Still not ready for summer YET!! No bathing suits for me. And I am looking forward to seeing some other before.after pics. I still look for them on here for motivation.

Take care! :gulp:

[Stayingstrong]

JamiJeff when I took my before and after pics I was amazed at how all the back fat disappeared as well to this day I look at my pics and wish gosh if only my fron side looked as smooth and toned as my backside (lol) It has to be the firm to be getting results so similar :blabla: Tammy

[Newbie2004]

Jamijeff I am so encouraged with youre before and after pictures :spider_red: Youre before picture looks just like it could be me. I didnt think anyone could transform themselves so much in that amount of time :blabla: I just ordered the firm tapes and i cant wait to start. I use to be 202 pounds and I am now 190 or at least the last time I checked I was. i have been using my 4 mile walking tape since the begining of january i hope by my Birthday In April I can be down about 30 pounds and looking as fabulous as you do. THANKS AGAIN for posting your picture it was real encouraging. :gulp:

[RoxanneRoxanne]

Jami, everytime I see these pics I get so motivated! Congrats again on your success and I wish you much continued success! http://www.phentermine.com/smilies/Small_smilies/applaudit.gif Thanks for sharing your story and pics with us.

What is the FIRM?

[*Becky*]

Are you sure you didn't use a model for the 'after' picture(s), especially of your backside. WOW!!!!!! That was sincerely amazing. Thanks so much. I know I should take some shots of me in a bikini before/after but I'm too chicken to. Thanks again.
-Becky

[Phen-Tab-U-Lous]

I just have to say - The FIRM rocks!

I lost 2 inches in my upper arms the first 2 weeks.

I've lost 4 inches from my chest and have the same cup size... so it must be the back fat I'm losing.

Won't stop using the FIRM... till I can't move anymore!

[misskitty82]

Awesome job! You look amazing and I can't wait to see you at your goal weight! That's right, you've gotta trust God, he never let's us down.

[madkins1222]

[madkins1222]

OMG, girl you are amazing.
I am so proud of you, and I don't even know you. ;)
Heads up to the midwesterners!!!!!

[jazzmyn]

That is so Awesome, JamiJeff!!!! I bet it feels SOOOO good to buy all those smaller size cutsie clothes!!!!

[Newbie2004]

Everytime i see your pics,i cant believe the results I think i am going to have to use your pics to keep motivated.I have been using the firm twice a week so far and I see the inches just melting off.I will be so glad when my stomach is finally gone. anyway make sure you keep those pics up,its one of my biggest inspiration.thanks newbie2004

[Newbie2004]

oh yeah was the firm the only exercise you did,or did you do some other aerobics?

[foxxie]

:) .......wow....jamijeff.......you look terrific.......i don't know much about the firm.....but what ever it is it worked on you......i want to to as good as you......keep up the great work :cool: foxxie

[jamijeff]

The Firm is the only exercise that I used. I am now using abs of steel...it is an old tape.
Keep it up with the firm!

[mim1977]

Jamijeff, I am so glad that you came to visit. It uplifted me so much just to have a little sister time. It also motivated me to get my butt back in gear. I think I have lost about 3 lbs. sine you were here. I am down to 231 now. Just about ready to buy a new pair of pants. Only one don't plan to stay at this weight to long either ;)

I just wanted to say that you look so much smaller IRL (in real life) then you do in these pics. And you look great in the new pics. I love you sister and I am really proud of you.

Hope that everything is going great. Miss you already!!

[Sarina]

JamiJeff Your my INSPIRATION Your exactly where I want to be. I lost 7 pounds this first week from 187 I'd love to get to 138 or lower. You look AWESOME!
I am getting my Firm tapes back out!!

Congrats you have so much focus and determination! It must feel good to get to here :)

[Vicky]

Wow, just checked this out. Did you do this while taking Phen or without it. That is great.
I have not been around here in awhile, but am starting back on phen soon.

Vicky

[Elesavet]

YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!

[devomosmom]

wow that is amazing...really. i bought the firm tapes a while back the one with the 8 lb bar. is that the one you use? well, anyhow you gave me the inspiration to start doing them again. it is hard for me to do them because im a single mom have a full time job and have a 2 and a 3 year old. but, you made it and so can i! thanks for the inspiration.

[lissam]

Holy Smokes you look fantastic!! I am about to start on my phen again I have been off it for awhile and hope to lose some more. I just hope I have a good outcome like you.

[lagrimita***]

I am shocked! wow this is possible!! You are are my hero!!

[Shatavia]

YOU REALLY DID a great job

[Shatavia]

damn you did a nice job..... :heart:

[monifa]

O.k going to walmart after church to get this firm video!!!! Dang look at that stomach!!!That's what got meb/c the before pics lookes like mine now!!o.k Janet Jackson look out hear I COME!

[JadeAfton]

It must be great to see such terrific results!! I am also inspired (like so many others!!) I have always been very skinny until I lost a friend and started eating emotionally. I gained 50 lbs from 135 to 185 (I am 5'9) by the time I got married and then I lost down to 176.. But then I got pregnant and went all the way up the 235, postpartum I weighed 213 and gained up to 214 and now I weigh 198 after a recent surge of willpower when I decided it was time to get myself back again. :) It is embarrasing to gain a lot of weight and run into people who always knew you as the shapely beautiful person you used to be. I also have hypothyroidism which was diagnosed lately but I know my weight gain started right when my friend died. Anyone have tips on beating those emotional cravings??

[NurseKeg]

I know this is a very old post but I'm new to the board as I was just recently put on the med. I admire you for posting your pics and wish I had enough self esteem to do the same but I'm horrified at my "back fat" - when I look at the old you, I see myself and I realize that I need to lose weight. I've never been overweight until I had my first and only baby and I've had the hardest time trying to lose the weight. I finally went to the doctor and it about killed me to ask for help. Why is it that our society looks differently at obese people? I'm a nurse and I look very differently at my patients that are over weight and realize that it's a daily struggle for everyone. Thanks for posting your pics and letting me share. Maybe I will be brave enough to actually take the pic and then someday post it.

[jamijeff]

Yes I used the Firm 2 and that is the one with the bar. I am still doing the firm twice a week for maintenance. I was taking Phen thru this process...until toward the end.

[Bex Skinny Now]

I just looked at your before and after pictures, and I am totally amazed! How wonderful for you! I thought it was just me, my "before" pictures are so terrible, ugly look on my face, and each week my smile gets bigger and bigger! I now wish my "before" pictures were not so terrible looking, I would post them here for everyone to see. I look in the mirror and it is a new me! Only after 10 days on Phen, but one month going to the gym watching my diet! No more double chin, arms have thinned out, back fat is disappearing too! I am starting to get some curves ladies and gentlemen! My husband is in the Navy and is currently deployed (due back Aug 3), and when he gets off the ship, he will walk right past me because he won't recognize me! Yay for me! I am SO inspired by all the pictures and success stories, I only hope that I can be on here to share my story.

[minniemay]

You look absolutely wonderful !!

Congrats on your weight loss !!

[Ginny Piccolo]

Jami you are doing so good...I have never seen the firm tapes. I need to lose the love handles in my back area too! Stay sweet...stay healthy! :heartpump:

[NotEzBein'Me]

JamiJeff,
OK now... for the 1st time I have actually seen (with my own eys) what it is that I want to be when I grow up. I have struggled my entire life with this weight, and it just seems to get worse (and I take FULL responsibility), but I've been on phen for less than a week and your pictures have shown us that our dreams ARE possible. I am heading over to my sister's house and STEALING her The Firm tapes and I will do them. Then I will have a Bad ***** B/A posting like yours. One thing I recognized in your first pic... the glare in your eyes. I've taken my pics on day 2 of my meds and I recognize that expression: humiliation. That's how I feel in any picture and when I look in the mirror. But times are changing... and I am going to work very hard at this. You are another reminder that God works miracles everyday. My little baby boy is Miracle #1 in my life, of his divine grace... but when it comes to my weight - I haven't ever seen such success.

BRAVO to you. You're a PHENOMENAL WOMAN! Felicidades on all of your hard work, dedication and success - you deserve it. I am so proud of you.

Thank you for sharing with us.
<sigh> we can all do this, it just takes a committment to ourselves.

[Bink]

I'm new to the boards and JamiJeff, your pictures give me inspiration. What I saw in these pictures is that through the route everyone here is going, (phentermine), healthy eating and exercise, it is possible to transform our weight without surgery (to decrease weight) and plastic surgery (to get rid of the sagging skin surgery caused). I am going to buy the firm today! I never heard of it. Maybe it was because I would reach for chocolate before I would reach for exercise. For everyone here, every positive thing you type and show is an inspiration to all that read your post. Please keep sharing. All of us may not comment all the time but we are reading, watching and getting more strength through your experiences. Thank you for sharing.

[ChaoticDreams33]

Whooo-hoo! great job girl!

[jackie25]

WOW is all I can say you did it!!!!! u are going to be my inspiration that I am going to loose this weight. I started on Sunday and I am down 4 lbs as of today, I hope it continues this way

[gettingperky]

Oh my God Jami,

I am just stunned at your results. You look absolutey gorgeous. Like a supermodel! You must be very happy. Good For You. You deserve a gold medal and a shopping spree. You look so great Wow, I'm in shock. Keep it up girl.

[dlongmo]

WOW! You look awesome. Lately I have been down on myself for gaining so much weight and I need to see these pics to bet me on track. Seeing you, makes me want to go workout (and I am telling you, I never want to). Keep it up, you are an inspiration to all of us.

[Ginny Piccolo]

I am very proud of you Jami. Wish I had you near to help me and motavate me. You have kept it off a long time now. Pray for me to get the vision again and then the inspiration and sticktoitness to just DO IT! Love and Hugs :heart:

[Princess S]

GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!! Ok so how can I get my a** like that? My husband keeps telling me its smaller but I wanna Jami butt. Not a J-Lo butt!!

[angelchik]

Jamijeff,
You've inspired me more than you know. Thank you so much for posting your wonderful photos. You look absolutely amazing and should be very proud of your achievement. I know now that my weight goal is possible. If you don't mind me asking, how tall are you? I'm 5 feet even and started out at 171 with a goal weight of 125.

-AC

That is great. I hope phen works that well for me.

[sarah1]

hi im from australia ,,we call phentermine here duromine but i must say well done sugar u look fantastic.... good work

[CherryB]

Jami in the after pics in the red swim suit, how much do you weigh and how tall are you?

By the way, you look more than ready to wear a swim suit any place you want. The only problem you might have is dirty looks from the envious women and a different kind of dirty look from pervy men because honey you look HOT!

I know it's hard to believe, after you lose, that you aren't where/who you were, it's hard to accept that you are no longer over weight and somebody who doesn't look great in a swim suit but trust me enjoy it. Women would chew off their left leg to look that good.

By the way, you have no problem areas to speak of anymore, enjoy it. You earned it and you have it.

[CoolWhip]

Way to go jami! You look great!

[The Woman inside]

great job ladies, I'a newbie reading all the old post. What's the Firm?

[vickys65tang]

I was going to post a pic on here. I am new. Everyone is looking so nice. I can't wait to start seeing results. I tried posting my pic but if it worked I think I did it twice. Sorry about that. Congrats to everyone.

[lisa0477]

I was wondering what happened to your after pics in the red bathing suit. I was so impressed and was trying to show my hubby. I am so happy for you. I am completely motivated by you!

[theNEWme25]

I HAVE TO AGREE
THE FIRM IS AMAZING ... IT SAYS IT GAURANTEES VISIBLE RESULTS IN LIKE 10 WORKOUTS OR OYUR MONEY BACK ... AND IT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO TRUE ....
THEY DO MAKE YOU REALLY WORK ...AND POSSIBLY MOAN AND GROAN WHILE UOUR ARE DOING THEM BUT AFTER A LITTLE BIT ... ITS WELL WORTH IT!!!!!


jamijeff YOUR DOING AMAZING AND I ENCOURAGE YOU TO KEEP IT UP ... YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION TO ALL OF US !!!!!
