Down another 4 lbs....I can't believe it!

[fredfred41]

I'm at a total of 19 lbs in 40 days.   I honestly can't believe it!  I've never lost weight like this before and I feel good too!

The only times I have ever lost 4 lbs in one week, was the first week of any diet (water weight).  I lost 4 on the 5th week! Still can't believe it!   On Weight Watchers.......I was lucky to lose 1 lb a week and all I did was think about food and when I was going to eat next.  I'm a life time member of weight watchers, so I'm not putting them down.  This is just so much easier.

I am soooo glad I grabbed that little yellow book off the shelf at Barnes and Nobles!

I started Weight Watchers a couple of weeks ago and guess what?  I gained 2 pounds.  Going back to Fat to Skinny and will give it another try.  So discouraged.

Hi NSands!

You're not the first person that had this happen to them.
This forum has many similar weight gain experiences with WW.

The science of FTS is solid beyond question.
FTS will work for you if you follow it's simple rules... And we're here to help you along.

Welcome home!

Thanks.  I will need to read the book again - perhaps I just didn't get it the first time.  Must be a slow learner

Nsands,  As an "ex" weight watcher person I totally understand how you are feeling.  I learned from a post from this forum (Mouseissue) that you must remember that Weight Watchers is in this for the money...they want to you buy their foods (loaded with sugars and carbs) that might only be 2 points to eat per serving BUT when you eat sugars and carbs you will continue to crave them.  On weight watchers (5 years) I always felt deprived and starving.  Not on FTS.  Stick with FTS if you can, get thru the detox of giving up sugars.  Welcome back and post often...everyone here is so supportive and will help you in any way you need.  Besides that, you don't have to get up in front everyone and weigh in!!! LOL

Wecome back Nsands....don't  be discouraged Give that weight watcher food away and follow the FTS plan, the weight will come off and stay off

 I did WW and will NEVER EVER go back to them.. All I kept thinking was what else can I squeeze into thsoe points and you can imagine I just chose the bad stuff with high points...

[suzlyn454]

I agree Alex...I have been on WW twice.  First time hubby became a lifetime member while I was struggling, watching him "add" more foods to keep from losing.  Now we both are eating the same things for dinner and he is slowly giving up high carbs at lunchtime.  He's maintaining his weight well.  I'm lucky while he's working I don't have him here asking "what's to eat?" LOL but also would just feed him FTS at this point!

[skychant]

Believe this...3 more pounds and you will be at your goal.  That is excellent!

[NSands]

Thank you all for your encouragement.  I know that sugar and carbs are evil and I am stunned by the amount you can eat on WW, not to mention all of the sodium in their products.  I hate I purchased a boatload of Smart Ones and will have to give them away.  FTS all the way!!!  Thanks.
