I live in Colorado and dry skin comes with the territory.  I wonder how much more I'd weigh with moist skin?

Happy anniversary, Andrea! And congratulations on your progress!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

It seems most of us can count on the last pounds being the slowest to leave.
Maybe it's because they've felt "at home" for too long! :D
Like some bad guests, they are almost always the first to arrive and the last to leave!

But you're right!... They will disappear!
It's just a matter of time! ;)
What you do today is what matters!

Sandra,
At about 3 months into this lifestyle, it dawned on me that it didn't matter how long it took to lose the excess weight.  Not much was going to change once I got to my goal weight except a few more garbanzo beans and an apple every once in a while.  It's hard to describe how much peace that realization brought me.  I didn't need to sweat the weight because it would come off and I like eating this way.

My wish for you and everyone who tries FTS is the same realization in your own time.

Very well put Andrea, I love the foods and I'm discovering more and more everyday!! It is a wonderful feeling, to actually like the foods you eat and the way you feel plus losing the weight; it will take a while to come off but then again it did get put on overnight either.

To stay skinny, we will eat this way the rest of our lives.
And since the food is wonderful, that will be easy to do! :) :) :)
