September 10th
« on: September 10, 2011, 01:47:20 AM »
Well as of today I have been living the FTS lifestyle for one year!  I just want to say THANK YOU to Doug, Umpa, and all of my FTS family for one of the best years of my life!  Though I did lose a few pounds counting calories before I started FTS, my total loss is 92 pounds so far.   Just a few of the highlights of this past year were:

flying on an airplane again
swimming in Lake Lanier
walking 2 miles and enjoying it
lifting my hands in praise while standing on the scales (my favorite)
blue jeans without an elastic waist, sleeveless Summer shirts & a little black dress
the look on my doctor's face
the best hugs (cause folks can reach ALL the way around me now  ;D)
knowing that my family is SO proud of me

I am ready to start my 2nd year with a renewed excitement!  I am SO thankful.  Life is good and getting better every day!!  Hugs to all of you!!!

Hi Jan! :)

I'm so happy to see that you're living life more like the Lord intended.

FAT does get in our way in many ways.
It's so liberating to lose it!

I'm looking forward to hearing about your second year living the FTS lifestyle.
You are such a blessing to others! :) :) :)

Jan,
  You are so rocking it out!  I LOVE seeing (my) people so happy!  I mean mine, because I feel so close to so many of you that you're like far away family!  You are an incredible inspiration to me and to everyone here!  Thank you so much for sharing and for being here! ;D

We love you Jan! I am so excited and happy for you.

Congratulations on an amazing year! You are phenomenal! We always say it's easy but we all know it's a conscience decision we make everyday to continue with our FTS lifestyle. You should be so proud of what you have accomplished this year, and this time next year you will be in maintenance mode@!! WOO HOO!!

Congratulations Jan,  I needed to read that post so badly this morning, as I got up to a weight gain OF 2 POUNDS.
I wanted to cry, I also wanted to just 'pig out' because of the disappointment, but I sat there in the kitchen and said NO, and fixed me my FTS breakfast. I will not give up just because of a disappointment nor will I turn to food to comfort me, I really am so glad I read yours and the other comments all of them blessed and strengthened me as I am determined to live that abundant life God has for me.

Thanks SO much everybody!  You all make ME want to cry too!  :)  The folks here on this forum have been so supportive over this past year, and I will continue to lean on all of you.  I got up this morning, had sausage & scrambled eggs, walked my 2 miles, and now getting ready to head to church.  ...so excited to start fresh on year #2. 

Kfaith, don't you dare let that ole scale discourage you.  ;) Just stick with FTS everyday and never give up.   You are doing GREAT!   A year goes by SO fast!  I am so thankful for FTS!!!   ;D
