General Discussion / Re: Thinking of having Gastric bypass surgery?? READ THIS FIRST!
« on: October 09, 2010, 10:06:40 AM »
I too had Gastric Bypass thinking that it was the answer to my prayers. I lost 100 # then it seemed to stop and then the humiliation sets in cause everyone knew you had it done and why didn't it work for you. I felt like such a failure. If you're thinking about it.....PLEASE DONT DO IT!!

General Discussion / Well, its been a month......
« on: October 09, 2010, 09:53:44 AM »
It's been 1 month since I started my new way of living and i have lost 14#!!  Woo Hoo!  That even includes 1 week being away from home and not having my foods that I could have, although I did try to be good.  But I am excited because 14# for me in  1 month is pretty exciting! If I can do that every month or even 10# just think where I'll be in 1 year.  I will get there! By the way, has anyone tried the Lavash Wraps?  I get them at Walmart and they are great! 8 carbs in the whole wrap but it's big enough to eat only half. I cant get the La Tortilla Factory burritos here so I've been getting the Lavash and even make pizzas out of them.  Delicious!

Well, I have lost 11# now!  I'm excited but I just feel like they should be coming off faster, especially with me having so much to lose.  I have been faithful to stay on 20 carbs per day but it always seems like my body kind of shuts down and wants to hang on to this weight.  I am determined to hang in there but is this normal?  I have been getting on my exercise bike about 3 times a week but I know I need to be on it everyday!  I guess I expect it to fall off quickly but I know 2 or 3# a week would be good. Please tell me am I on the right track?

Congratulations Scott!  9.6# is a lot!  Like Doug says, try carrying a 10# turkey around for a few minutes and you realize it!  You've accomplished something to be proud of!  Keep up the good work!

I started this new way of eating on Sept. 8th and have already lost 7.5#!! Woo Hoo!  I have always been overweight and now am morbidly obese. I am truly enjoying my new way of thinking and eating! Thanks Doug for this book! You are an encouragement to me.  My husband is also eating this way too and that really helps! I have over 200# to lose but am going to take it a day at a time. I know that it is possible with the F2S supporters and my wonderful God, I CAN DO THIS!  Thanks again for the information.  P.S. I love what you say in your book about being a special person just wanting to be normal! That just about says it all!
