hi doug! buddy met you at the florida state fair in 2009. we tried your program a few times but gave up because we wanted to eat the carbs/sugar and we settled for our heavy weight, life as obese. but now we are determined to lose this weight. we started near 3 weeks ago on may 17, 2013. since then we have lost 9 pounds each. 5 lbs. because it was our first week of plain dieting and we just ate less. and 4 pounds now because we started your program fts. our second week we lost nothing b/c of eating too much carbs/sugar. buddy started at 231 lbs. and Christina started at 348 lbs. buddy is 41 and Christina is 35 years old. both of our goals is to be 170 lbs. I am so glad that we are doing this together because it is so much easier. we are learning to cook with your recipes. thanks doug for your book, it was very easy to understand, it made perfect sense to us. you and your wife are very inspiring to us and we like the youtube videos that you have done. we hope to meet you again and this time at our healthy weight.
