Thanks for all the support, it means a lot to have others on the journey too. Sometimes it makes me cry to think other people really care and I know they mean it, because they know all about it. I have support at home but it makes me feel good to get acknowledged by people who are just like me and our working hard at trying to accomplish a goal. Hope

Hope all are doing well and got through the holidays. I ate a few carbs through the hollidays but knew that would happen so I was ok with it. I went to the doctor Thursday and for the second time in 6 months my blood sugar was normal (6.2) and my blood pressure was normal. I thank Doug and his book and he and his wife's dedication to helping all of us to get our lives back. I am on my last 20 pounds. My goal is 150 pounds and I know I will get there.

To me patience is the key to my success. When I started on Fat to Skinny fast and easy I weighed 199 pounds and had a 8.0 sugar level and my blood pressure was high. I am also a diabetic as of the last 3 years and my doctor was not happy and neither was I. My clothes were all to tight and the doctor kept wanting to put me on so much medication that I was scared. Now, my weight is down, my sugars are normal, and my doctor and I are both happy about the change in my body. I am 60 years old and want to be around to see my grandkids grow up. I don't know what fate has in store for me but at least I know now what I can do for me to be more healthy. I also tore a disk in my back when I started Fat to Skinny and that was so disheartening, but I never gave up and I am doing much better with that now. I had to be patient with the pain and went to an accupuncturist. He helped me a lot throught the pain and Fat to Skinny helped me with my life. So I'm still here and have been since I believe last June. Maybe some of you will remember me. Wishing you all success in the New Year! Your friend, Hope

Well, it's been awhile since I have been able to check in. I have been on a plateau for the last 3 weeks. I finally lost a pound yesterday. I started at 199 and now weight 167. I still want to lose 17 more pounds. My back is still very sore since I tore my lower disk ( Just as I started my weight loss) but at least I can sit and drive the car again. My activity level is still hindered but all things in time. It is frustrating though because I miss walking on the beach and doing the things I use to do. I haven't been back to the doctor since my last report but My Blood Sugar was Normal at that point in time. I am diabetic and for my blood sugars to be normal was amazing. I go back to the doctor next in January so will report back on that. I finally learned how to post my picture. This was taken halloween. I went as a plain M&M. Since I don't eat them anymore, I dressed like one.

My husband was the M&M with nuts. I thought it just deserts , no pun intended, : ) since I was a slave to M&M's for years. Hope everyone is doing well, I thankyou all for being there for me.

Well, I am doing much better with my back. I weighed 199 at the end of May and now I weigh 170 as of today. I went to my doctor and she checked my sugar level and I have brought my sugar level down to 6.2 which is in normal range. She was so shocked by my results! She told me she was so proud of me and I was proud of myself. She said what I was doing was working and told me to continue eating this way. Doug, you and your wife, have changed my life. I haven' t been on here in a while because of my back pain, but it is slowly improving too. Eating right isn't hard to do when you understand how to do it, I am so happy about my weight loss! Like I said before, I have done every weight program and paid lots of money and never really lost the weight, but that's because I wasn't told how much sugar is in everything. So until I stopped dumping sugar into my body even when I thought I was eating right, nothing worked. This new way of eating is wonderful and I don't feel hungry or deprived. Plus I can still satisfy my craving every now and then with dessert or a little sugar free candy. Well good luck all. I'm still new at posting, so hope I am doing it right. Hope

I knew I had found the right way to eat as soon as I read this book! It was like a light bulb going on.
I finally found the right way for me to lose weight. I have spent so much money trying to find the right plan, and nothing worked. I started this way of eating nine weeks ago and have lost 21 pounds.
I also injured my back about a week after I started my new way of eating, but I have not been detoured I just keep a positive attitude even tho with this back pain I get discourage at times. I thank God I found this book. I had called my girlfriend and told her how discourage I was with my weight and she told me about this book. It is the best thing that ever happened to me for weight loss. Plus my doctor had put me on diabetes medication and this book came at the right time in my life. I had never looked at sugar the way it is explained in the book. I never realized how much suger was in everything. I still need to lose 30 pounds but I know I will do it. My clothes are fitting much better and It feels so wonderful. Hopefully in time my back pain will get better and I will be thinner as well. I am so grateful to Doug for writing this book.
