Thanks I'll have to give it a try.

Had a bad day yesterday and all I wanted was something with lots of carbs.  I did not give in!! However I dreamed about those darn foods last night.  In my dream as I was eating the those carbs and I was feeling very guilty.  I really miss bread the most. 

Thanks for the info.

Can anyone tell me more about this sweetener.

Yes, I'm sure Dr. Atkins would not approve of the changes.   

It's taken me a few years to get back and realize where I made mistakes last time.  My first mistake with FTS way of life is I did not read the book.  That was a really huge mistake, everyone should read this book before starting FTS.  So I now have the book and I was really surprised at some of the foods you can eat on the FTS plan.  I'm slowly moving into the FTS way of eating.  I've been searching the net for recipes and low carb ideas and I gone food shopping the last three days.  I am finally realizing that the FTS plan is all about clean eating.  Something that we have gotten away from with all of our modern day ready to eat foods/fast foods.  Also I'm from the south and just about everything we eat is loaded with sugar in one form or another once it get into our bodies.  I was amazed reading the bacon package and seeing sugar listed on the contents.  People wonder why they can't lose weight if they only realized how much sugar they eat everyday without knowing it.  So now that I'm back....  I really need to lose this other person.  I started the FTS back in 2011 and some how I fell off the wagon.  I went back to Atkins and much to my dismay I gained weight.  I know it was there pre packaged food loaded with carbs.  Wow, what a wake up call when I gain weight on Atkins.  Sooooo then I started back on Weight Watchers and really enjoyed that I could eat anything as long as I counted points.  Well I have lost  between 10 and 15 pounds and that's it.  I'm up one week and down the next so I'm back to the yo-yo dieting. This has been going on for a little more than a year.  I am so done with Weight Watcher and Atkins.  As I have started moving back to FTS and clean eating I'm starting to feel better. Today when I got off work my hands were not swollen so that tells me this is working for me.  It's really hard not to jump on the scales to see if I lost anything the last couple of days.  I told myself that I will only get on the scales once a week, I do not want to get discourage. I will take my cues on how I feel and how my clothes are fitting and one day at a time.  I have my dr's appointment in just over a month and I'm curious to see how my blood work will look as apposed to my last check up. 

I have been reading thru old post and it seems everyone is in and around North Carolina.  I live just north of Charlotte, NC.  Were in North Carolina are you??
