Keke! - You've lost 27 pounds in less than 3 months! That's fantastic. A 2 oz. snickers bar isn't going to triumph over you.

Another Saturday and I've lost 1.8 pounds this week for a total of 56.8 pounds. Sometimes I don't even think about this eating plan, it's just part of me now - I guess that's why we call it a lifestyle. Hooray for FTS!

Hi Kale; Welcome to the Forum. You will find lots of encouragement and information here.
As Doug said, you need to read the book. Living in Canada - to avoid shipping fees and waiting for shipping - just go online and order it as a download. It's only $10 and it's instant! It takes only about 2 hours to read. I read it once through, 6 months ago, and it changed my life. (I sound like an info-mercial!) There is a wealth of wonderful information in the book and you really need this basic knowledge to get started to success with fattoskinny. Don't sabotage your efforts by including the wrong foods in your day due to lack of low-carb knowledge.
All the best to you!

Hi Bella; Welcome to the forum. You'll find lots of help and encouragement here.
You are correct.
Net carbs = carbs minus fibre eg) 9 carbs - 4 fibre = 5 net carbs
OR
if there are sugar alcohols listed then
net carbs = carbs minus fibre minus sugar alcohols. eg) 9 carbs - 4 fibre - 2 sugar alcohol = 3 net carbs
An item only contains sugar alcohols if it has certain types of artificial sweetener in it. If sugar alcohols are not listed it is because they are not in that item.
You do not subtract sugar when calculating net carbs.

I've been thinking about what this New Year will bring, in contrast to past new years. For over 20 years I've been carrying this burden of weight around – and the accompanying burdens of guilt, shame, disgust, frustration, failure... Now, less than 6 months after finding FTS, I am almost half way to my goal and know that I will reach it in 2011. It changes the whole outlook for the new year. I can approach 2011 with a positive attitude, in full anticipation of achieving and maintaining a healthier, happier me. I'm not making a new year`s resolution. I don`t need to. All I need is to keep on keeping on in this FTS lifestyle.
I wish the very best of all things in 2011 to everyone on the forum.
Take care.

Step # 2: Jicama? It's not in the recipe. Please clarify, because this looks like a great recipe. Thanks.

Saturday! The scale shows 2.2 pounds lost this week for a total of 53.2 pounds. I'm steadily getting very close to the half-way point. A couple weeks ago my watch battery died so I stopped wearing the watch. When I finally got a new battery and put the watch back on I had to tighten the band by a notch. Ha! 
I hope everyone has a blessed, safe and happy Christmas with family and friends. Stick with FTS over the next 2 weeks - you really won't look back at Christmas and regret skipping all those way-too--sweet and starchy foods. Merry Christmas Doug and Umpa, and blessings to you for changing my life!
