Hello everyone. I am new, this is day 4 for me. I am loving this site and love the book and checking out all the recipes. I feel I have 'hope' to finally get my life back. I have a long long way to go much like Sherripie, what an encouragement her testimony is to me. A big thanks to Doug and Umpa, was so very surprised to receive emails from both of them welcoming and encouraging me! :) I praise the Lord I found this website and the Fat to Skinny book, it has opened up a new way of hope for me. Love watching all the things Doug and Umpa have on youtube too, and love their Yorkies as I too have a Yorkie and they just steal your heart ;)
I can already feel the fat melting, this seems to really work and I am not having cravings.
I need your prayers and help on this journey and pray I too will become a blessings to others.
This is truly awesome that Doug offers such a wonderful website "free" for us.

Welcome to FTS KFAITH !!!! Just one day at a time and measure yourself ,because sometimes you lose inchs not pounds !!!

Welcome to the family, KFAITH! :) :) :) :) :) :)
If you really want to lose excess FAT and be much healthier, you've come to the right place.
FTS works. The science behind it is undeniable!
I'm a former type II diabetic with high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
I no longer take medications for blood sugar. And the meds I'm taking for HBP and cholesterol have been cut in half.
My doc told me that I may be "drug free" this next year! ;D ;D ;D
I learned about FTS while watching the 700 Club last July.
Since I've committed to the lifestyle, I feel much better than I have in about 30 years!
FTS is a truly blessing from on high. If you commit to it, it will transform your life!
I'm looking forward to hearing more about your FTS journey!

Thanks you all! I have spent most of this day trying to learn about how this forum works, as it is all new to me.

This is really truly wonderful to have all this support, information, and ideals available here. God is good!

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome!! We all started just like you are. Trying to find our way, cleaning out our cabinets and living the FTS lifestyle one day at a time.

LOL That is how I ended up with my four legged baby :D :D :D
-
I like your "baby", Shawn. :)
I'll bet you don't have to worry about two AM feedings and seemingly endless diaper changes.
I sure don't miss them one little bit!
-
LOL I had my share of those Tony!!! In a funny way I do miss them. I loved it when my two were little :D I laughed when you mentioned 2 am feedings... This little one is in the habit of needing to go out any time between 3 and 4:30 :o :o I figure at least he asks to go....it beats the alternative!!! LOL

If only our offspring would've done that when they were small... Life would have been easier! :D :D :D :D :D
-
LOL so true!! ;D ;D

But with a Yorkie you can cage him up when you leave! The police frown on putting kids in cages!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D
Toosweet your puppy is so cute! :)

Hello--I'm new here, too. Hopefully it's okay to say hello here. I didn't know if I should start a new thread or not...
Anyway, I happened to find Doug's book today when I took my kids to the bookstore. Just roaming around and stopped at the Health/Diet section--that bright yellow book just screamed out to be looked at. And I'm glad it did! Even on a budget (ugh, back to school shopping on top of everything else--it adds up) I decided this book was worth the investment and bought it.
I'm really excited to start--tomorrow's my DAY 1--I was writing out a shopping list and thought it'd be good to check out the website, too.
I'm hoping to lose 30 pounds. It sounds far away, but in 20 weeks I'm going on a mini-vacation with my sister and thought it'd be good to get off the plane and surprise her with less pounds on me. She's naturally thin (LUCKY!) and we're going to a place where we'll be in swimsuits, so I don't want to be the fat sister--hahaha. I feel like I've tried lots of diet book advice and not done well, but this plan seems really easy to follow. We shall see! :)
-
Welcome Steph!! This is a great place to start.... You can do wonders in 20 weeks on FTS.... If you follow the simple rules set out in the book ......your sister will be so surprised!! ;) LOL Good luck on your journey ;D ;D
Be sure to check out all the yummy recipes and ideas on here and don't be a stranger....let us know how you are doing ;)
-
Welcome Steph , I dont know if you will lose 30 but you will lose & feel better then you ever have !!!!
-
Welcome Steph,
I have been on fts for one week and lost 6 pounds, even stuck to it over the weekend, feeling so encouraged and I have over 200 pounds to loose. so I got a long road in front of me:(
I am loving this site and all the ideals and recipes, and everyone here are so nice and helpful!
So welcome God bless you as you start today!!!!
-
Hi Steph :) Don't worry a bit your sis will call you skinny when you step off the plane ::) Welcome to the party!
-
StephB313 Welcome! If I can help you please ask.I am umpa,dougs wife :) It takes about 2 weeks to detox from the sugar then your energy will go through the roof! I have a column on the homepage called ask umpa where I can convert your favorite foods to fat to skinny friendly.

Welcome to the family, Steph! :) :) :) :) :) :)
If you not only want to lose weight (http://www.fattoskinny.com/), but feel MUCH better and be healthier, you've embarked on the right journey!
You will find that his lifestyle and this forum will do wonders for you.
The emphasis is on REPLACING those unhealthy high sugar foods and NOT deprivation (like diets).
This forum has the most supportive and helpful people that you'll find anywhere.
Be sure to chime in on this forum often.
Folks that do tend to be much more successful than those who do not.
Looking forward to hearing about your FTS journey!

WOW! You are all so nice--THANKS! I had a rotten day at work but this sweet welcome has cheered me up. :)
I thought today would be super hard--after reading Doug's book I realized I've been eating pretty much all sugar, all day. Even when I thought I was being good (blast ye, sugary watermelon--my favorite, unfortunately). But I took a tip from the book and made lots of stuff beforehand, took my lunch to work (we had a lunch meeting and I bypassed the free pizza and ate what I brought instead), and had a ready-made dinner when I got home. The only "sweet" thing I had today was sugar free Jell-o with Reddi Whip and it was really good!
I was expecting a headache or the feeling of the need for a pick-me-up (i.e. candy/chocolate) while at work, but nope--my freshly read book and all those before and after photos have me truly inspired.
So thanks again! I appreciate it.

Welcome Steph,
Sounds like you are on way already! Good Luck. It feels sooo good to be able to say "no" to those foods. After a few weeks you will realize you are not even "craving" them anymore. We went out to eat yesterday (out of town) 2 times. TwoSweet, her dad and I ate at a pancake place. While her dad (my hubby) ate pancakes TwoSweet and I ate eggs with meat YEAH. Then we met our son and his family and ate at Outback. Some salad, steak, shrimp, grilled asparagus or steamed broccoli....the bomb. I had taken cheese sticks, pepperoni sticks and nuts just in case. Didn't even need them LOL. FTS WORKS!!
-
I just started on the FTS way too Step and yep it is working, 6 pounds off my first week and I feel the same way you do , the people on here are so nice and this seems to really work great. ;D
I made egg salad and chicken salad last night it was great to get up to egg salad on a wrap this morning!
I am seeing if we plan for what we CAN have it all works well.
-
You are doing great!! :) Just think of all the new clothes you get to buy! ;)

I'm thinking of the jeans I'll get to wear again! :)
I have a very favorite pair that I can't fit into (embarrassing :'()--30 pounds ago they did, so they are hanging on a hook over my closet door as further inspiration.
But yeah, new clothes would be awesome! I haven't bought myself new/fashionable/cute clothes in a looooong time.
And HOORAY to everyone else here. You all seem so happy to be in the FTS groove--that's awesome! You're inspiring!

Hi Umpa,
Yep I am so excited, getting ready to get a tote to throw all the clothes in as they begin to get too big, than I will donate them. I have tons of clothes in smaller sizes I have saved as I was not always this big, some brand new with tags still, so the journey down in sizes is going to be a thrill!!!!!!! : ;D ;D ;D ;D
I cannot tell you how great I feel mentally, just the feeling that it is going to work and that I can really feel the weight coming off is making me so happy. I had all but lost any hope till I read Doug's book.
Really enjoying you all and all the folks on the forum, all the recipes, ideals, help, it is great!!!!
-
I'm with you, KFaith! Just lugging out/donating the big stuff and wearing the old smaller sizes sounds GREAT!
Your photo is super cute--and I love your dog. I have 3!! (2 Japanese Chins and a Pekingnese). Little things, but big ol' babies. ;D
-
Thank you Steph! Yep love my little Yorkie, wish I had a few more ;D, I think Umpa has 5 Yorkies, she posted a picture of them, they were so cute. This is my day 9 on FTS, I will weigh again on Sunday, I can feel the fat just melting this FTS way really works!!!! Are you feeling more encouraged every day?
-
I had given up all hope on losing my FAT until I found FTS. I've been on more diets than I can remember.
And all with the same results... Sooner or later, I would feel "deprived" and would go back to eating like I did before.
That is one of the coolest parts of FTS... It's about replacement not deprivation.
And for this reason, I will live this way the rest of my days.
FTS is the BOMB!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Yes Mouseissue I understand exactly what you are saying and I can see how this is working like no other way ever has.
