MaddysMom..............
Thanks for reaching out and sharing your experience w/ me :) I take Armour Thyroid. Do you do blood work every 3 months? Hypothyroidism can be so frustrating and I was getting scared that it would hinder weight loss on FTS. Starting on Monday,delayed by week, due to moving. So ready to get this weight off. Everyone has been supportive and gives me that extra push to stay focused and be successful this time around.

Umpa.......... ;D

Doug........... I thought so too...........but I really want to avoid snacking so I figured if I ate a big enough lunch, will keep me to dinner. Like your idea because if that 1st plate fulls me....in a crunch can be dinner or lunch tomorrow. I'm really starting to see how easy FTS can be once you understand the foundation and importantly, read labels.

Excited to get started......FOCUSED!

Took my before pic.........can't wait to see the new me emerge.  ;D

Do you think 40 pds by bday (nov) is realistic?

Tony.......def see your point. Being overly planned might be a hinderance, as well. Still in a diet frame of mind.......readjusting. FTS  IS NOT A DIET, BUT A LIFESTYLE.

Ready to eat w/out fear and be full............while losing lots of weight.

TooSweet..............Your great! Thanks so much. I was thinking the same thing last night, if I truly want to make this a lifestyle.........need to feel comfortable finding foods that are FTS approved..wherever.....

Not really a breakfast person...........I can have tea and sometimes wait to almost 12 to eat something. I was always told I had to eat breakfast and that's why metabolism is so slow. Def go by what my body tells.

Prob stay away from the bars, but love the shakes. Come in handy when I'm on the go.

Crystal light will limit. Prob just do cold green tea w/ splenda.

Thanks again! :

To make sure I'm successful this time around, need a meal plan and do it for a week or two. I plan to start next week.........my husband and I are currently moving into our new apt.

This is the meal plan I came up w/ for the next 2 weeks. I don't mind eating the same things every day. Less work....

Please let me know what you think. Open to suggestions.

Breakfast:
2 boiled eggs
2 strips of bacon
cup of green or oolong tea sweetened w/ stevia or liquid splenda

Lunch:
4 cups of romaine lettuce
shredded cheese
2 chicken breasts (cut up)
2 tbsp sugar free dressing (love Ken's dressing, ok?)

Snack:(optional)
Atkins RTD shake or bar (phase 1)

Dinner:
1-2 Turkey burger/patty
w/ sauteed green peppers, onions, and mushrooms in olive oil.

Drink plenty of water and crystal light (how much allowed?), to switch up.

Is this too much or too little food?

Thanks in advance.  :)

Tony........... I'm ready to make a major change in my life. Weight has always been an issue for me and I hate it, but I'm taking responsibility for my choices.

Today choosing to become healthier,for not only me,for those around I love dearly. Life is so short.......I've wasted enough years being overweight and unhappy.

Thanks for reaching out........  ;)

Morgan...........totally right! I'm blessed to find a man who loves me for me....flaws and all. He reminds me all the time that he isn't perfect, so he doesn't expect me to be. At the end of the day, I just want to be comfortable in my skin.

My aim is to take it one day at a time.....lifestyle change, not a diet. Tired of diets. Can't stand the word..........lol

No longer will I be shy and will ask for help....always. Feel comfortable now. Thanks for taking the time out to respond.........appreciated greatly.  :)

I want to start off saying to all that responded...so far, YOUR AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I can tell you guys really care and want to make sure each person is successful. Beaming this morning. I don't usually post, but I know there is no shame asking for help and guidance.

Doug- Def check out the link and thanks for really caring about others health and remaining dedicated. My Grandma, on Dad side and my father are diabetic. Need to do something now to make sure that doesn't become my fate. Hopefully, I can educate my family and get them healthier. I need to show them, so they will follow. Actions speak louder than words.

Umpa- Yes, I will ask questions, feel comfortable now to do so and check out your column. John is and he deserve to have a wife that isn't insecure. Thanks again!

TooSweet- Thanks........I was hoping it wasn't reaching for 1st goal. Your right...removing diet out of my vocab and focus on making it a lifestyle change. My aim is to never go back....tired of the yo yo diets. Planning ahead will ensure success because that's when temptation comes in. Read all I can on the forums and touch base where I can with the group. Looking forward to getting to know you and the rest of FTS superstars.

READY AND DETERMINED TO DROP THIS WEIGHT.............FINALLY!!!!!!!! :)

Hey Group,

Never posted, but need some encouragement. Got married on July 17th and love my husband, but didn't want to do an actual wedding yet due to my weight. I cringe at the thought of being in a white dress. :( My Hubbie, John, loves me and just want me to be happy.

Tried the low carb thing in the past, but never went longer than a month. I truly would like to have an intimate and beautiful ceremony for close family and friends, but need to get some weight off. Not looking to be skinny, never was my goal, just be comfortable in my skin.

Due to school and full-time job, I need a menu plan that is easy. Don't mind eating the same things over and over, especially if I'm getting results. Need an eating plan that will fit in with my schedule and don't take much time to do. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Is there others in the group who have hypothyroidism? Success?

Open to advice, suggestions, etc......Thankssssss! :-X.......rereading the book starting tonight.

1st goal: Lose 40 by bday in Nov
