Title: Hi Everyone
Post by: TLC58 on February 23, 2011, 03:09:35 PM
Hi Everyone.
It has been 3 weeks on the diet.  I have lost 6lbs. I would like to be 64lbs lighter. I can't believe how good  I feel.  I still have head aches but Tylenol has no carbs!  I  saw Doug one day on the 700 Club, I knew what he was saying was true but never gave it much thought.  I was always told as a child that I was big boned...lol.. Now that I look back on childhood pictures I was not heavy at all.  A habit of finishing everything on your plate or no dessert continued into adulthood plus other bad habits.  It wasn't until I hooked back up  with a wonderful highschool friend(ShihTzuMom1) via facebook, that I started to consider taking this diet(lifestyle) seriously. Seeing her success just blew me away.  So with her encouragement and support, here I am!
 My husband is very supportive and follows the diet with me, to a point, extended family..well not to supportive.
I'm looking forward to a new me in the near future.

Welcome to the party TLC58 :) ShihTzuMom is a good friend to hold your hand through the beginning stages of your lifestyle change. Try and get the thought process of "diet" out of your head. This is a permanent lifestyle change for you. Diet are temporary...that's why they fail.

Have Fun, Eat Great, lose weight (http://www.fattoskinny.com/)!

Welcome to the family, TLC58!  :) :) :)

Your childhood was very much like mine!
So I understand exactly how you feel.

I too discovered FTS by watching Doug on the 700 Club in July 2010.
A truly life-changing event for me!!!

Your headaches are most likely due to "sugar detox".
When we deprive our bodies of sugar, this is one way our bodies will complain.

Hang in there!
Most all of us have been through "sugar detox".

We are all here to help and support each other (and YOU too)!
I'm looking forward to hearing from you again soon!
