The picture is GREAT, but she looks even MORE beautiful in person!  Wish you all could spend an afternoon with Donna.....she totally inspired me!   

I made this last night, and it was AMAZING!!!  When it was done, I put a few chopped walnuts on top.  Also, I found that Land of Lakes makes a "redi whip" with no sugar!  I piled it high, and it was totally delicious.  I am not missing the sugar at all!!   Wow!!! 

Thank you!  I will probably go ahead and order it from Amazon.  I should have it in a few days.  I have coconut cream cheesecake bars on my mind! ha ha

Oh....after that pattymelt (without the bun) Saturday in addition to everything else I had that day....I was down another pound Sunday morning!  This is getting fun!   

I have just finished my 3rd week on FTS, and I am feeling GREAT!  So glad I didn't quit while going through detox.  For me, the first 3-4 days were the tough ones.  I'm down 13 lbs (total 37 lbs when added with what I lost during my "dreary calorie counting" since April.)

I had the wonderful opportunity to have dinner with Owensmath (Donna) on Saturday!  SHE LOOKS AMAZING, and she brought some FTS snacks....Jicama, Crisp Bread, strawberries, cinnamon crackers, tortillas, and 2 kinds of sugar free choclate!  She is SUCH an inspiration, and she really got me thinking about new things I can try!  I am planning to make butternut squash soup, and I printed a few recipes from this forum too!  I can't wait to get to the grocery store.
By the way.....where do you find Xylitol?  I saw that it can be ordered online, but I would love to use it in a recipe tonight....

Thanks FTS (and Donna).  I am so excited!!

Great video!  Thanks for sharing.....wow!

I had never heard about sugar being a "fertilizer" for cancer until just recently.  I work with a lady whose husband has cancer.  Just recently they did a PET scan to see if the cancer has spread.  For the days leading up to the scan he couldn't eat anything with sugar.  Then before they did the scan they gave him an IV of glucose (sugar).  The glucose goes directly to the cancer and that's how the PET scan marks the spot where the cancer is!!  I had no idea!   

I will definitely check out your column Umpa!  I watched the video on how to make the low carb chicken parmesan, and that looked yummy!  Who would've thought you could do that!  I already love pork skins anyway.
