I bought the book 2 years ago, and read it 4 times, but just couldn't get my head in the game. I was so busy trying to learn how to be a home school mom, and still work. Then last year I got married to my guy of 8 years, and really had "intentions" of doing FTS before the wedding, but it never happened. So here we are in 2013, and now I am finally ready. I guess it takes me a long time to commit  And my husband, who has never done any kind of food change/ diet, is doing it with me. Of course he only has maybe 15 lbs to lose where as I have about 80  We started 4 days ago, He has already lost 9lbs, and I have lost 5. And I feel better, I have even been working out! This a totally new way of cooking for me, and I have had carb/sugar withdrawl, but Im in! ...Also have to say, I made Dougs pork chops and cauli mash tonight, my 7 yr old was grubbin it down! That was sooooo good! Better make more next time, because there were no left overs

I started 5 days ago and have only lost 2 lbs. I am not eating over 20 carbs and on some only got to 15. I don't want to have to go so low in my carbs that I cant eat veggies Any ideas for me? The only thing I can think after reading over a lot of this forum, is that SF candy I have been eating once a day. That and maybe I need to eliminate my evening snack of pork rinds. Sigh, I really need this, I am 220 and 36 yrs old. My mom is diabetic and I don't want to go that route. Also I want to be a healthy beautiful bride in May. Any suggestions are most valued, thanks

But I couldn't help but peek at the scale today. Even my 6 yr old (who I didn't know was listening to the CD) told me not to get on the scale for one week. lol I know, I know, its only been two day, but ....I LOST 2 LBS!!! I cant believe it! Just wanted to report
