I lost 9 pounds my first week!
« on: September 22, 2010, 03:05:19 PM »
I am happy to say that I lost 9 pounds my first week and I did not exercise.  I can't wait to see how much I can lose in a month.  I do not feel like I am being deprived and enjoy eating this way.  I really believe that I can lose the weight this time.

That is a great start! Don't expect to have those results every week, though. Be realistic and successful at the same time. Welcome to the FTS family!

Thank you both. If I can lay off the Whitman's sugarfree coconut candy I will do much better this week.  I am going to start having a sugarfree jello everyday as a treat instead.  I am female and didn't think that I would lose so fast.  I have over a 100 pounds to lose.  I can see myself eating like this over the holidays.  I would love to lose 50 pounds by New Years if I can.  I definately intend to work out and drink alot of water.

Welcome Keke.  Yes this does really work and no it is not a diet.  This is a change in lifestyle, one that is very simple and easy to maintain.  In 9 weeks I have lost over 20 pounds without very much effort, other than taking the time to plan ahead what I am going to eat and making sure I have quick FTS friendly snacks on hand in case I need them.  I have had 2 weekend getaways, my birthday, a wedding and someone else's birthday party and never felt the need to stray.  I planned before each of the occasions what I would eat and had backup with me in case it wasn't available.  Read the book and follow the plan.  Read though the success stories of the other forum members and look at their weight tickers on the bottom of their posts, that should tell you that this works.  You have to be prepared to make a lifestyle change, but honestly we don't feel like we our missing out on anything, we find an alternative to our favourites with help from Doug, Umpa and our forum family.

Hi Keke

I had tried following the grapefruit diet too and put all the weight back on because seriously, who can follow such a ridiculous way of eating long term  ::)
I actually saw Dougs website that another anonymous person had posted on the Diet Hound grapefruit diet forum and took a read... downloaded the book, then the recipe book, went grocery shopping and started yesterday!  Overnight I lost 2.2lb...  Maybe its waterweight to start with, but its urged me on and I feel so chuffed and ready to carry on! 
I really didnt realise how many carbs and sugar was in so much of my food and if you take the time to plan and read some labels it will all fall into place nicely.  (Admittedly I went over 20 net carbs yesterday but will kepp checking and tweaking... have a bad habit of drinking tea with milk...like 8 cups a day and yesterday only had 2, had no idea there was so many carbs in milk!)
New and enthusiastic, but why would you deny yourself the chance of leading a healthier life  ;)
Give it a try!  I am, there are so many yummy things to make to replace your favourite foods.
