Title: New here...Thanks to Owensmath!
Post by: Maddysmom on September 22, 2010, 12:47:11 PM
Hi Everyone,
Just want to send a shout out to OWENSMATH and thank her for telling me about FTS. She had mentioned the plan to me a while back, but I was busy "counting calories"...ugh.  I had lost 33 lbs, but got sidetracked, settled back into my old eating habits, and gained 9 lbs back in only 2 weeks!

Out of curiosity, I purchased the on line download of FTS.  I am just now on my 2ND week, but I lost 10 pounds my first week!!  (I re-lost the 9 lbs I had gained, and I think the good Lord just took off 1 more pound just to encourage me!)

I am anxious to see what is in store if I can stay the course!  I have ALOT of weight to lose.  By the way, this forum is GREAT!  God bless you all.....

Welcome, Maddysmom. Stick with FTS and you just might find yourself leaving Gainesville to move to Lossville. :)  You're on the right path.

Thanks everyone!  I am SO excited about this new way to eat!  Sure wish I had found this sooner!

Yes, I am another proud Navy mom!  Our daughter is a freshman (Plebe) at the Naval Academy.  We are going up to to see a couple of her basketball games in late November.  I would LOVE to have a chunk of this weight gone by then & see the surprised look on her face.  Can't wait.

I will definitely check out your column Umpa!  I watched the video on how to make the low carb chicken parmesan, and that looked yummy!  Who would've thought you could do that!  I already love pork skins anyway.

Hey Jan -- Welcome to the FTS family!  Many wonderful people are on this program with encouraging words for all!  Way to go on losing ten pounds!  Please thank your daughter for serving our country!  My father (who is now deceased) was in the Navy -- so my heart holds a very special place for people serving in the Navy!  Keep in touch with the FTS family!  Make it a great day!

Donna, I'm voting for "Red" too (my favorite color)!  Let us know when you find it!  Have a great day!

Thanks for your kind words Susie!   We have met the most wonderful people by being a part of the "Navy Family".  This is how I got to meet Donna!

My dad was Army Reserves when I was a baby, but otherwise, the military is all new to me.   However, now days......when I see an older gentleman wearing a "Veteran" cap or t-shirt, I just want to go up, shake their hand, and say "THANK YOU!"  I understand more about their sacrifce now.  To say the least....I am ALOT more patriotic now. ha ha

I sure am enjoying this Forum! Everyone has been so nice and welcoming!
