Waterlily, yes you can use pre-chopped fresh or even frozen bagged cauliflower if you fix it like I did.

Hi Waterlily!  I've attached a link to where I originally posted the frosted cauliflower recipe.  We love it around our house.  I've even changed it up a little by adding brocoli once in a while or changing the cheese from cheddar to parmesan (whatever works LOL)
I have found that I like it best with the sour cream added.

Welcome, remember this is a lifestyle change not a diet.  When anyone asks how long you will be on this diet, tell them "for the rest of my life".  It is a question I hear on a regular basis, just yesterday as a matter of fact; just after the compliments on how great I was looking LOL.

Hello Buckster.  I'm not sure that you are missing anything.  I've read your previous posts and the great suggestions you have received from everyone here.  There a couple things that come to mind that might sabotage you.  First of all when I started FTS I cleaned out our house of all the high carb foods...you don't have that available to you because of your college kids and the different foods readily available that might not be FTS.  You need your family to help back you up in reaching your goal.  Find all the FTS friendly foods you want to have available for snacks; nuts, 0 carb pork rinds, meat sticks, 0 carb chicken vienna, 0 carb potted meat, etc.  Designate a space in the cabinet to keep these snacks and let everyone know these are for you...you're not supposed to eat their snacks so place them out of sight (out of sight-out of mind).  Same thing in the fridge, put 0 carb cheeses, pepperoni sticks, boiled eggs, etc in that area; again designate that this is your area.  Explain you need the family's support here.  Is your wife preparing your FTS dinner or is that up to you?  If you are eating what the rest of the family is eating maybe it's not FTS and you are still getting carbs you're not wanting.  High protein for me was the key (great because I love just about any meat you can place in front me LOL).  Something else I thought about was your training for running.  I have always been told that exercise increases muscle weight and might slow down weight loss.  I'm not sure how much you want to loose but I had a total of 60 pounds and it has taken me over a year to be a little over halfway to my goal.  I have been exceptionally pleased with my ability to stick to FTS except about 3 weeks ago on a trip I ate an item or 2 that usually don't pass my lips.  As for starving when you get home I'm out of my league there.  When I eat FTS (when I am hungry) I am usually not all that hungry in the evenings and am hard pressed to plan an evening meal to feed my husband.  Hope I didn't ramble and gave you a few ideas.  Good Luck. Suz

Congratulations Morgan, you are doing great.  I understand the need for the scales!  I took mine with me when were traveling in the camper for 10 weeks!!  I didn't get on them EVERY day but they were there as a reminder that if I didn't stick to FTS that I would have to start over! 

This pic was taken of husband Larry and I in front of a waterfall in South Dakota.  By the way I have been calling hubby skinny for a long time and feel great because now I only weigh 10 pounds more than him!! I am 10 pounds from his skinny LOL.
