Hi Keke, :)
Don't get worked up over 2 pounds Keke.
As we lose weight (http://www.fattoskinny.com/), the scale will go up and down. The important thing is that the longterm trend is down. If you are getting too many carbs, you weight will continue to rise and you may need to make some adjustments.
Just keep living the F2S lifestyle and those pounds will go away... They have no choice!

Just hang in there and be extra careful reading labels and having proper portions. You can do it.

We (women ) have got to stay off the scale I guess some people or normal and it does not bother them but it will mess a day up if the scale shows something different then we want it to . Like Doug said to me "ask your self Do you feel better ? Do your Clothes feel loose ? Do you want sugar addiction back in your life ? If you answer YES,YES,NO
Then does the scale really matter ."
When I read this I said "well losing weight is what brought me to FTS ,but I never knew how good it would make me feel . Th only time I have felt bad since Sept 20th is when I have gotton on the scale and it did not move or I had gained a ounce -2 lbs & when I ate too much SF candie ;D . I truely thought it was going to be another fad diet . But it is not if I dont lose another pound I still have gotton rid of my huge addiction to carbs mostly Bread white bread . I have to say I have struggled to lose the Weight still have not lost alot but I have not had a peice of bread since August 4th . That is a true acompishment !!!!. I will continue the course and I hope my weight will come down but the way I feel is more important ,not be addicted to the garbage is more important . Altough I was never diagnosed a type 2 diabetic when I checked my sugar after a meal it was 140-170 ,now it is rarely over 100. Oh well Just my 2 cents !!!

KeKe the sweets are great,but you need to eat protien too and veggies or you will start craving carbs.You can't survive on sweets.Maybe you should reread the book ;)

That is only 1.6 net carb grams per slice... That's good as long as you eat only 1 or 2 slices max.
But Umpa is correct!
You NEED protein and veggies to make this lifestyle really work for you. Sweets are supposed to be an "occasional" treat... Not a daily thing. See Doug's book about this.

Hi again Keke! :)
Otay Keke... I see what you mean. At this point, I would not be alarmed about enjoying sweets a few of times a week.
If you are following the rules in F2S and eating at or below 20 net carbs per day, the 2 pounds shouldn't hang around long. If they do, cutting way back on treats may be needed.
Just don't look at the scale too much. Your weight will bounce around while losing especially during "that time" of the month.
Also remember that even when we are not losing pounds, we are often losing inches.

Yes Umpa, I was sitting in the hot tub on the deck while the wind was blowing snowflakes on my cheeks(maybe I should say face). It was awesome. We had a great time. Ate some pecan encrusted trout at Salty Dog's in Maggie Valley and thought about you!
