I am happy to report that I survived Thanksgiving and all the yummy sweet potato pie.  I am down 2 more pounds and know I can get through Christmas as well.  I hope that everybody else enjoyed their Thanksgiving meal.

I am maintaining my 7 pound weight loss. This is what I have eaten today:  a la tortilla with mustard, ham, deli cheese and a dill pickle slice...4 carbs.  I also ate a tin of sardine fillets...0 carbs.  I ate smoked sausage that I cooked with red, yellow and green bell peppers...4 carbs. I ate a GG Bran Crispbread with cream cheese that I mixed with one packet of sweetnlow and some cinnamon, the cream cheese was lowfat...4 carbs.  To drink today I have had a Crystal Lite tea with lemon and plenty of water.  I would love it if I lost another pound in the morning....We'll see.

You are so right jetfan.  I donate through the church that I attend.  When I cleaned out my cubbard and started FTS I had a huge bag of soups and beans and mac and cheese...Every month they chose an item to stock for the food pantry...this month it was canned fruit next month is peanut butter.  I like to buy tolietries as well such as toliet paper and deodorant and shampoo.  Also it would be nice for us all to remember to put some money in the salvation army kettle when you pass by...every little bit helps. 
I wish everyone a Happy FTS Thanksgiving and may God Bless Doug and Umpa for such a great website

I got on the scale this morning and was thrilled to see that I lost 2 more pounds on my second day.  Today I was not as hungry...detox will be a piece of cake ( lo carb cake).  This is what I ate today:  I had squash casserole from the freezer and a can of chicken vienna sausage...7 carbs.  I ate a boca burger with a slice of deli cheese wrapped in a la tortilla with mustard and a dill pickle slice...5 carbs.  I also had a huge hamburger steak seasoned with worchestershire sauce and Mrs. Dash steak seasoning with a slice of deli cheese melted on top...0 carbs.  To drink today I had a crystal lite tea with lemon, a cup of decaf coffee...1 carb and plenty of water.  I am just so excited to see that the fat is melting away.  If I lose again in the morning I will be amazed.

I got on the scale this morning and was happy to see that I lost 5 pounds my first day.  For breakfast this morning I ate turkey sausage and eggs scrambled together...5 carbs, I drank a Sams diet caffeine free soda.  I drank a cup of coffee that was decaf...1 carb.  For lunch I ate a boca burger wrapped in a la tortilla with mustard and deli cheese and a dill pickle slice...5 carbs.  For a snack I had some squash casserole I found in the freezer...I guess that was around 6 carbs.  For supper I ate sirloin steak that was grilled...0 carbs.  I drank a cup of sugar cookie sleigh ride tea sweetened with FTS zero.  I also ate 2 pieces of Werthers sugar-free candy.  I drink lots of water.  I haven't been as hungry today.  After the loss I had this morning I will be suprised if I lose in the morning...can't wait to see.

Thank you all....maybe I should eat the same meals I ate Sunday to see if I can have another big loss...I did drink alot of water.  It is so great to be back!

I got up early this morning and made a big omlette with two eggs, three slices of ham and a half a cup each of red bell pepper and onion.  I also put a slice of Kraft deli cheese and a sprinkle of parmesan on it.  That took up 10 carbs.  I also drank a Sams Choice caffeine free diet soda.  For lunch I had philly steak on a la tortilla with some sprinkle cheese and a cup of decaf coffee.  This was 5 carbs. For a snack I ate a tin of kippers and for supper I ate a can of Chicken Vienna sausage and a cup of pomegranate green tea sweetened with FTS zero.  15 carbs for the day and I have also been drinking alot of water.  I have been very hungry today.  I do admit that it feel great to be taking control of my health for a change instead of being a sugar fiend.  I am eager to get on the scale in the morning and see the results.

It is going to be nice to go through the holidays and lose instead of gain.  I got on the scale and it read 305 this morning.  I guess I ate more birthday cake than I thought.  I stayed up all night reading Fat TO Skinny again so I am ready to go today.  All I need to do is reset my ticker and follow the rules in the book.   I am glad that you are getting rededicated morgan.  It is so nice to know that I am not alone in this.  I am determined to meet my weight loss goals in the coming year.  I have put it off for far too long.  Let's get Skinny!
