Thank you for the feedback everyone :)

Mare, why are you thinking Vegan?


I will be eating vegan for Lent.  My plan is to continue the basic principles of the diet but I will be adding fruit (not too much) and beans/lentils to replace the meat and dairy. And I plan to add in exercise to off set the extra carbs. Hopefully it will work out!

Hi!!! so I have a question; can this plan be done if you're vegan or if you're trying to eat vegan for a while, like say about two months?? If so I would love it if you can tell me how to eat vegan on FTS diet!!! THANKS SO MUCH  ;D <3

Thanks for the feedback everyone!! I know that post sounded crazy since I've only been doing it for three weeks and I did lose.  I guess my expectations are just unrealistic!! I thought I should be losing every single week, especially in the beginning.

General Discussion / Discouraged
« on: February 21, 2014, 07:13:01 AM »
I'm starting to feel so discouraged :( it's my third week and I feel like this is isn't working!!! I'm so frustrated.  The first week I lost 9 pounds and the second week three pounds.  This week my weight had not changed at all.  Not a tenth of a pound.  IDK what I'm doing wrong.  I thought eating this way was supposed to have the pounds "dropping".  I eat so little compared to what I used to eat before.  I'm not counting exact numbers but I didn't do that the first week either and I lost 9 pounds then.  I feel like why am I eating this way if it's gonna be this hard for the weight to come off the same way it was when I was eating whatever I wanted and just counted calories!!! can someone please give some perspective?? is this normal? am I doing it wrong? (although I can't imagine how!!! I cut out all carbs and starches and sugars) I'm only eating greens, non starch veggies, berries, and sugar free candies Doug suggested.

Hi! awww such a cute baby <3 I just started.  This is my first week.  I hope to lose the weight this time! I've tried so many times in the past and failed.  But so far I've almost got the first week down :)

My best friend just had her first baby and she is trying to lose the baby weight too.  I should tell her about this FTS thing! lol! good luck with losing the baby weight  ;D

Thanks sunshine! I've discovered russel stovers sf candies!!! mmm! I love the peanut butter cups and the pecan delights . they taste just like the real deal  ;D also sugar free pudding is good. We can have that right? it's only 4 carbs.  Also I'm not doing 20 carbs.  I think I'm averaging 30-40, but that's still a huge change for me. I used to average 250-300 lol.

Thanks for the encouragement everyone  ;D I'm trying.  The first 3 days were horrible.  I had a constant headache.  But the headache is gone now thank God.  I feel better but I'm still craving sugar and bread and pasta :( I hope soon the cravings will die down.

Hello Mare, welcome to the family!


Thank you.  I'm almost through the first week.  I will weigh myself tomorrow morning and hopefully it will be good news!! how much does the average person lose in the first week? and how much weight should I aim to lose per week after that? some people say 2 pounds a week is a good pace.
