  Hey there!

    My name is Sherri Crosby, but you can call me Shercat051703. I just got the book, (the red one with the CD)  and I have started watching what goes in my mouth now. I gave away a bunch of unhealthy food and realized I neglected to throw out the sugar and flour. Is there any thing else people commonly don't think to throw away?? Thanks!  :)

Hi Shercat  Welcome to the FTS family!!  ;D   It is funny but when I first started I spent all day reading every label of things I had in the house.  Wow I didn't realize the junk I had collected.... :o LOL  Unfortunately I have to keep some things on hand that aren't approved because the hubs still likes his carbs  :P  Once I accidentally grabbed the regular maple syrup .....good thing I noticed before it was to late.  Ha! Little does he know we are slowly becoming all sugar free  ;)   Every now and then I run across something I never thought about having carbs in them  :-\ 

If you have any questions about carb counts of anything just ask and someone will chime in or you can check it out here: http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/

Again welcome and please don't be a stranger  :D

I have a big family, so I didn't throw anything away. I figured I'd be nice and let the other people in my house eat. They're all skinny little things anyway, so it wasn't a big deal. Over time, I've gotten them to try low-carb things and they like them. My two youngest have also started reading labels and checking carb counts, which is awesome because they're only 12 and 9 years old.

Anyway, welcome to the forum, Shercat! :)

Hello Sherri!  Welcome to the fts forum!  I really do like the new edition of FTS and the cd is GREAT!!   Like Rena, I really didn't throw away anything either.  My family still thinks they have to have carbs too.  So, I just make sure I always have what I need so that I don't have to eat the "cow food" anymore.   ;)

You will be amazed at the great recipes, and you will really enjoy getting to know all the folks here!  They are wonderful!   ;D

Welcome to the family, Sherri!!! :) :) :) :) :) :)

Wow!... Another Sherri!
In the future, I think I will call you Shercat051703 so as to not cause any confusion. ::)

Watch out for all prepackaged foods. Most of them are high in carbs.
If you find any in your house, toss them!
