we will be happy at 10 pounds apiece per month
umpa is right, it took time to put the weight on and so it will take time to get it off
our advice is to read doug's book a few times and do what it says
doug and umpa are living proof that fts works when you work fts correctly!
tony, we are doing other things again besides obsessing about weight loss:)

we stopped taking the protein powder and are now eating real food
protein shakes are not for long term
we stopped counting calories too
we still desire to lose lots of weight and are dedicated to fts
but for Christina to lose 100 pounds before seeing her family up north is too high of a goal
more reasonable is 40-60 pounds about 10 pounds a month
ditto: just read doug's book and do it the fts way and you'll do great

fittin

looking back we don't think our ideas were that great for example:
the little plates are getting "old", we were eating too little
we only eat now when we get hungry which is the fts way (not 5-6 times /day)
exercise is fine but we agree that watching what we eat is best and easier
drinking that much water is really hard so 8 eight oz. cups is great
not having salt is hard so a little is fine
we both lost 14 pounds so far.  100 pounds in 6 months is a little high lol !
in our week we take a day(s) off and eat some sugar free treats that we make
our advice is to read doug's book a few times (for clarity)  and just follow the fts way!

we read today that to keep the "excess skin flab" from happening is to be properly hydrated with enough water.
we exercise just for our circulation, Christina is at home and is very sedentary all day.
I read doug's book again (the yellow one) today.
we had the wrong mindset to do calorie counting and now we wont bother.
we will just carb count like doug says.

everyone who commented on this post was such a inspiration to us today.
we too love God with all our hearts.
we too thank you doug and umpa for this ministry of yours, fts.
fts is keeping us longer on this earth.

hi doug and umpa,

we were wondering if we can buy the hard cover cookbook of yours?
we saw the e-book that we could purchase of the cookbook online last night.
do you have any of the hard cover cookbooks of yours in print today?
if so how do we go about getting one?

by the way we read some of your articles last night doug: how skinny is too skinny.
God's mission for you.  and the top ten "healthy foods".  doug, you are a excellent writer!
your very clear and easy to understand.

thanks tony we appreciate you taking your time to encourage us!
we will do it the fts way and follow doug and umpa's advice.
we got a little extreme and wanted the weight to fly off faster, our mistake.
I am gonna read doug's book again for the 3rd time.
doug lost 100 pounds in 7 months.

hi umpa,  you are right,  its a lifestyle change and the protein shakes we would not be able to keep it up for long term.  we will do as you suggest and eat real foods again from the fts list.  we will use a protein shake as one snack a day (instead of 3 times).
