After losing about 24 lbs in the first 3 weeks of FTS I was really excited!  Then I not only didn't lose but gained a few pounds and stayed there for what seemed like an eternity!  Last week I finally got back down to the lowest I had been on FTS then THIS week I broke through to the next set of ten pound increments!
  I wish it was coming off faster but I know that it didn't get on that fast and the slower I lose the better for me health wise. 
  With so many years of YoYo-ing my body just thinks I'm kidding when I start a weight loss plan.  Now I think it's getting the message... This is a way of life now.  There is no turning back to the high sugar routine it was used to!
  I've got a long ways to go, but inch by inch, I'll get there!  Minus 26 and counting!!

We all have to start somewhere!!

That's a question I would like the answer to also.. How to freeze (if possible) "Calitatos"

Hey, Doug!  Greetings for California!  I have passed the 100 post mark and would like to have the FAT TO SKINNY Sugar and Carb Counter  E Book. Please and Thank-you!  I met a lady in the grocery store the other day and told her all about the book and website... hope to see her on the forum, too. Thank you so much for CARING for people so much that you have invested your life!

You're right, Doug!  I am eating a lot better on the FTS plan.  No more junk foods   I am currently eating a rootbeer float Popsicle made with diet RB soda, heavy cream, Xylitol and shaved ice. I had the float mid morning and made pops for whenever.  Tonight I'm having Chicken Alfredo with Shirataki Alfredo Noodles... ahhhh life is good!

I plateaued for a while too. Last week, I added coconut oil to my day and it jump started me on my way again. I take a teaspoon with breakfast and a teaspoon with dinner. Beware: it will moooooooooooooove you at first. Maybe that's how I lost the extra couple of pounds..hmm....

Hmmm... sounds like it turns you into a cow!

Welcome to the family, Amethyst!  This does work... everyone on this forum is living proof.  Buy the book that Doug wrote and also the recipe book on the same page.  That will get you started in the right direction without feeling at all deprived!  Stay close to the forum, too, there are questions, recipes, encouragement, and general info posted here daily.   Most of all HAVE FUN with this!  It's a new lifestyle not a 'diet'.  We are all here for you!
