Hi everyone!  I am new to these forums.  I've had the FTS book for almost 2 (!) years now and am finally ready to get serious about losing these last 25 pounds!!  I wholeheartedly believe in this way of eating...but it's sometimes easier said than done    I am recommitting myself to FTS right now and I think this time it will last and become a way of life because I plan on keeping track of my net carbs (on an actual website food diary, not in my head!) and will plan out my meals using the recipes from Doug's book and this forum.  Sometimes the hardest part is to get mentally geared up for a lifestyle change, but reading your success stories in this forum is very exciting    I look forward to "meeting" you guys!!
