I have lost my first 10 pounds and bought some sugar free candy to celebrate.  I think I can get into this tight pair of jeans that I have by the end of the month I hope.  Off to drink some more water and I hope that everyone else is losing too... :)

TabyTaby....I am sorry that you are having so many health problems.  You are blessed to have a baby daughter.  I started back the 20th of June and have already lost 10 pounds.  I feel great and am working on the next 10.  Getting through detox is the hard part and the cravings for sugar and carbs should subside after that.  Believe in yourself and you can achieve your goals.  Glad you are back!

Thank you both...I am really loving chicken patties with turnip greens.   So far I haven't been eating sugar free candy and eating sugar free jello instead.  I am almost down 10 pounds.  I am waiting until then to change my ticker.  I have lost weight in my face mostly.   I'm off to eat me some strawberries.

In social settings she was embarassed with groups of coworkers at restaurants ordering food that was without bread.  She has learned to cut back on her carb intake though and has lost 18 pounds with weight watchers so far.  She has a terrible sweet tooth though since she stopped eating FTS.  She just didn't like to attract attention to herself.  FTS really did help her alot though, if she had not read the book I gave her and started following it she was headed towards my weight and she is petite.  I am just glad she is losing instead of gaining.

Welcome Michelle!   I hope you have some size 10 clothes picked out to wear.  It won't be long before those get loose, if you stick with FTS.  It amazes me how fast the fat melts away.  You have made the right decision to choose this lifestyle and be active in the forums.  I wish you continued success!

Thank you Elizabeth779!  I am officially under 300 pounds and have no intentions of ever seeing that weight on the scale again.  It is nice to be making a positive change in my life.  This forum is truely a blessing.

I can't take all the credit, my sister gave me the idea.   She used to eat this alot when she was following FTS.  She lost 45 pounds and is now following weight watchers.

I made this for breakfast this morning and thought I would share the recipe with you.

Eggs Florentine

6 oz. bag of baby spinach or 4 cups of spinach
5 eggs (I use Egglands Best)
1/4 cup of parmesan cheese
garlic salt to taste
pepper to taste
3 tablespoons of margarine


In a skillet melt the margarine and put in your spinach and cook until wilted down.  In a bowl crack 5 eggs and wisk with parmesan cheese a smidge of garlic salt and a smidge of pepper.  Pour over the spinach and scramble over medium heat.  Enjoy!

My niece had a gastric bypass almost two years ago and is my size, although she did lose 60 pounds and has kept it off.  Her eating habits have not changed...she does eat smaller portions though.  I don't think that she could survive without sugar and carbs.  It is a disease.  I am glad that I am doing something sensible to improve my body image.  No lap band or gastric bypass for me.  I am fortunate that my cholesterol and blood pressure is fine and I have no signs of diabetes.  I know that this lifestyle works if you are comitted to it.  I wish I had stuck with it earlier...I would already be at my goal weight.  If anything I hope that people learn from my mistakes and fully devote themselves to FTS.  Reverting back to a sugar and carb addiction when you have the solution at your fingertips is very foolish.

Thank you Tony...you have lost a very impressive amount of weight.  Umpa...I was eating cookies to fast for them to crumble.  You know detox has helped me to nix all my sweet and carb cravings.  It is just amazing and I have lost 7 pounds my first week.  I made my favorite meal of creamed cauli and tilapia to celebrate.  I have family members that think I should have gastric bypass...but I am determined to show them that I can lose weight by watching what I eat.  They think that I will "just get tired of eating the same old foods all the time".  If they only knew about the variety of recipes and options that I have.  I will show them.

Thank you all for the kind words.  I have definately missed my favorite website.  It is great to be back and losing instead of gaining weight and constantly struggling just to maintain.  I have some size 20 jeans that I really want to get into.  I know that I can achieve my goals if I stick with this lifestyle.  I have been bad since earlier this year when I was active on the site.  A cookie fiend just for starters.  I have turned over a new leaf.
