Lean On My Shoulder / Viva Mexico
« on: August 30, 2012, 08:42:49 AM »
Hi Friends! I just returned from Mexico last evening and my sisters wedding was beautiful. We all had a wonderful time and enjoyed our 9 day vacation to "paradise". Few things to mention: all inclusive vacations are nice and they are inexpensive but boy did I struggle for 9 days. I had such a hard time finding things to eat. For the most part I stuck with salads, cheeses, and meats I could identify but the language barrier was horrible. Next to no one could answer my questions about how things were prepared and as we all know Mexican food is traditionally based around CARBS CARBS CARBS. So I am here to confess that I did fall off the wagon slightly while I was there . And guess what it was not even worth it, it tasted horrible. I could not wait to get back home to eat "my food : ) I gained 4lbs , I guess the alcohol did not help the cause either. But on a positive note, I am back on track and do not want to be faced with that situation ever again. I am attaching some pics from the wedding hope you enjoy! I am the first on left in first pic, and the second from left in jumping pic ( we all look alike lol )

Click Here To Share Your Success Story / 2 months and the dress
« on: August 20, 2012, 10:35:33 PM »
As many of you know 2 months ago I started FTS after gaining excess amount of weight after I was "sick last summer as well as to get into a bridesmaid dress for my sisters wedding in Mexico. After only being on FTS for one month the dress was able to zip and I was thrilled. This weekend marked the 2 month mark of my new FTS lifestyle and one day before I leave for Mexico for my sisters big day. I tried the dress on one more time today and what a difference an additional month has made. The dress fits like it did when I got it last summer : ) I am confident yet slightly nervous about going to an all inclusive resort for fear of not being able to find something to fit my needs, but I know that I have the tools to make the best choices possible. I will post pics when I get back next week! Here's to 20lbs gone forever ! Blessing friends

Lean On My Shoulder / Week 6
« on: August 04, 2012, 10:27:05 AM »
Today is week 6 on FTS and I would like to start by saying I have HONESTLY never felt better in my life!!! I have to admit I was extremely hesitant when I started the program, but week after week it just gets easier and easier and I keep seeing results that are amazing. It is kind of surreal to me that it could be this simple. Anyway today's weigh in makes 17.4lbs gone FOREVER!!! 2 more weeks until I leave for Mexico for my sisters wedding and I will probably be have some "wiggle" room in the dress! !!

General Discussion / Heavy cream??
« on: July 31, 2012, 03:46:54 PM »
I know I read in the book that heavy cream is 0 net carbs but when I figured it out on the carb counter online that was recommended it is coming out to be about 1.5 net carbs? Can someone clarify?

Lean On My Shoulder / The dress ZIPS!!!!!!!!!
« on: July 31, 2012, 06:45:59 AM »
Hello All,
I was inspired to join FTS by a coworker who was diagnosed with diabetes while she was pregnant. She started the program after giving birth to her son and has lost an amazing amount of weight. Each week I would see her at work she appeared smaller and smaller. So I decided to check it out and here I am . But what truly lead me here was my desire to see the same results with such simplicity and the fact that I am in one of my sisters weddings at the end of this month in Mexico on the beach and the dress that we had got last summer no longer zippered!!!!!!! OUCH! I had gone through some major health issues last summer after we purchased our dressed ( blood clots in my arm and lungs caused by a syndrome called paget shroeder and ultimately had to have my first rib removed. In any case I had put on 25pounds while going through this ordeal and being in the hospital for over a month and out of work for 6 months!!!!!!!!! When I started FTS I had 8 weeks to get in this dress before having to tell my sister that we had a big "problem"
This past weekend was 5 weeks on FTS and I decided at week 5 I would "retry" the dress on and measure my progress not on my weight lost but if the dress fit. You read it right..... the dress zippered without a problem! The theory is true. Despite the scale not showing that I have lost 25lbs that I originally gained , I am smaller, I fit into the dress! I could not feel better! So I am just hear to spread my joy and look forward to sharing my continued success as well as sharing everyone else's!

Lean On My Shoulder / ~~~One Month Weigh In~~
« on: July 21, 2012, 09:33:02 AM »
drum roll please......... total loss in one month= 13lbs. I am so excited. My boyfriend anxiously waits to hear my weight loss every week. He is such a great support system. Despite him not being on board yet with FTS ( he mentioned to me the other day, "I might try what you are doing, can I read your book : ) He eats generally healthy and is conscious of what he is putting in his body. My weigh in today not only has me thrilled and has given me a sense of self peace, but can not help but be anxious. I am anxious to lose the rest of the weight I want to and know that I will be able to keep it off and be HAPPY. Not have to count calories, not weigh things, not count points!!! Here's to week 5 friends!!!

General Questions / coffee
« on: July 08, 2012, 10:03:42 AM »
Hi All ,
I know I read in the book that coffee is 1 net carb, but after doing some investigating I am confused. I use the keurig green mountain k-cups french vanilla and they say 0 net carbs . For the past week I have been counting 1 net carb for spenda pack and 1 net carb for coffee . Anyone have anything to clarify this? Thanks Steph

Lean On My Shoulder / week 2
« on: July 07, 2012, 05:58:25 PM »
Hello All,
I have accomplished week two but am slightly disappointed at the fact I have only lost 1lbs this whole week. I know being a nurse that everyone's body reacts differently but is there an average amount that everyone loses or does it truly vary. The only thing that i can think of is that my boyfriend and I went hiking yesterday ( yes in the 99 degree weather here in Jersey) and we drank a ton of water and needless to say burned alot of calories and used alot of muscles that have NOT been used in a LONG time. Knowing how the body works I know my muscles are "screaming right Now" and I am hoping just holding on to water because they are inflamed from being overworked yesterday. Any thoughts on this.
p.s. how do i get my pic on here?
p.p.s. how do i make a ticker for my weight loss ?
I am reading faithfully behind the scenes what everyone writes despite not writing much back to anyone, I am trying to take this all in and remain successful. ( fingers crossed)

Hello All,
I have enjoyed reading many of your post thus far. I have completed my first week on FTS and I have lost 6lbs so far! I figured I wanted to make sure it was going to work before i dedicated myself to using the website as a source of support. I am happy to say I feel great ( now that the first 3-4 days are over) I am looking forward to becoming friends with all of you and sharing my journey as you all are.
