Got up early this morning and baked the coconut cake from the FTS Bakery Book (page 139).  Oh my goodness!  I had a square of it with a cup of coffee as my breakfast!  Wow!  It's GREAT!!

General Discussion / Eat This, lose-weight"....
« on: February 08, 2011, 10:33:15 AM »
I love it how everyone seems to be jumping on the band wagon!  Has anyone seen the February 2011 Reader's Digest?  On the cover in red letters it says, "EAT THIS, lose weight", then it has a smiley face made of bacon and eggs! ha ha  In the article a physician and a science journalist are talking about all the things that WE already know.....thanks to Doug!!  :)

General Discussion / Anyone see Good Morning America today?
« on: February 03, 2011, 08:51:10 AM »
I had to leave for work, but I saw that Dr. Oz was going to be on Good Morning America today giving four "simple steps" to break the sugar addiction and drop the excess pounds!!   I hit the record button, so hopefully I can see what he had to say later tonight.

I could give America four "simple words"....FAT TO SKINNY LIFESTYLE!!    ;D

Hi FTS family!
This may seem trivial to some, but for any of you who have been morbidly obese.....you will understand.  I had the opportunity to fly to West Palm Beach Florida with my daughter this past weekend.  Due to my weight,  I haven't attempted to board an airliner in almost 15 years now!  I was SO nervous that either I wouldn't fit in the seat or that I wouldn't be able to fasten the seat belt.  Walking from the gate down to board the plane, I was in panic mode...the sense of dread just came over me!
Well.....I am THANKFUL to say that I fit in the seat just fine and I was SOOO relieved when I was able to buckle that seat belt!! ....Thanks to FTS and the Good Lord!!  This was a major accomplishment for me!  Now I feel like the sky is really the limit!!  If the losing continues.....I may be at an amusement park and on a roller coaster by this Summer!!  I'm so happy!!! .....and I had a great weekend in Sunny South Florida too!!

Sides and Snacks / Sausage Balls
« on: December 13, 2010, 10:33:17 PM »
Does anyone have a low carb recipe for sausage balls?  I would love to have them during Christmas.  The recipe I have calls for 1 lb sausage,  1 cup of shredded cheese and 2 cups of Bisquick mix.  I am wondering what would be best to substitute for the Bisquick.    Almond flour, flaxseed meal, or something else?

General Discussion / Tortilla Wraps...too good to be true?
« on: November 09, 2010, 08:53:32 PM »
Tonight while grocery shopping, I found "Ole Mexican Foods Xtreme Wellness"  high fiber/low carb tortilla wraps.  The nutritional information really seems too good to be true...??  I tried one when I got home, and it was great!  Has anyone tried these?  I found them at Ingles Grocery Store.

Here's the breakdown:
Serving size: 1 tortilla
Total carbs: 5g
Dietary Figer: 12g
Sugar: 0g

I laughed when I saw the fiber count.  So....could I just count this as 0 carbs or -7 ??

General Discussion / It's Contagious!!
« on: October 20, 2010, 10:06:53 AM »
On Monday night, Owensmath and I commented back and forth about FTS (success, recipes, and etc.) on Facebook.  Yesterday I had two different friends send me messages that they saw our comments, got curious, and went online and ordered the book!   I was SO happy to hear that!   

Update:  I'm down 17 lbs in 5 weeks on FTS  (total loss now 41lbs)

Happy in Georgia!

General Discussion / Feeling Great!
« on: October 04, 2010, 11:14:07 AM »
I have just finished my 3rd week on FTS, and I am feeling GREAT!  So glad I didn't quit while going through detox.  For me, the first 3-4 days were the tough ones.  I'm down 13 lbs (total 37 lbs when added with what I lost during my "dreary calorie counting" since April.)

I had the wonderful opportunity to have dinner with Owensmath (Donna) on Saturday!  SHE LOOKS AMAZING, and she brought some FTS snacks....Jicama, Crisp Bread, strawberries, cinnamon crackers, tortillas, and 2 kinds of sugar free choclate!  She is SUCH an inspiration, and she really got me thinking about new things I can try!  I am planning to make butternut squash soup, and I printed a few recipes from this forum too!  I can't wait to get to the grocery store.
By the way.....where do you find Xylitol?  I saw that it can be ordered online, but I would love to use it in a recipe tonight....

Thanks FTS (and Donna).  I am so excited!!

General Discussion / New here...Thanks to Owensmath!
« on: September 22, 2010, 12:47:11 PM »
Hi Everyone,
Just want to send a shout out to OWENSMATH and thank her for telling me about FTS. She had mentioned the plan to me a while back, but I was busy "counting calories"...ugh.  I had lost 33 lbs, but got sidetracked, settled back into my old eating habits, and gained 9 lbs back in only 2 weeks!

Out of curiosity, I purchased the on line download of FTS.  I am just now on my 2ND week, but I lost 10 pounds my first week!!  (I re-lost the 9 lbs I had gained, and I think the good Lord just took off 1 more pound just to encourage me!)

I am anxious to see what is in store if I can stay the course!  I have ALOT of weight to lose.  By the way, this forum is GREAT!  God bless you all.....
