Just began my first week
« on: April 03, 2012, 03:32:36 PM »
Hi All,

 I just began my first day of FTS yesterday.  I guess I am in the middle of my sugar detox as that energy kick has not yet come and I am just trying to figure it all out.  I have been overweight my whole life and I have been on all kinds of crazy diets, but now with the baby weight from two kids that I have lost and gained back three times, I am done with it.  I am ready to make a change and to start with a program to work forever.  I am so tired of always being the fat girl.

I know that I have about 130 pounds to lose to not be considered obese any more.  It is so overwhelming in numbers, but so many of you have lost that amount.  Any support you can give would be so greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the party Mrsahr, be strong and stick with the program...remember your reason for starting FTS "I am ready to make a change and to start with a program to work forever.  I am so tired of always being the fat girl."

I know it may seem like a monumental task to lose over 100 pounds but I can assure you it will come off. Don't be in a hurry, don't be a slave to your scale. Instead simply follow the rules, enjoy your food and spend lots of time with us. Our members are so cool, everyone is here to help and support you.

FAT TO SKINNY is not a diet, it's a lifestyle change and that my dear is why it will work forever  ;)

Hello and welcome to our FTS family!!  You are going to LOVE it here!  Just having all these folks to chat with, and knowing they are all doing the same thing....helps SO much!   Just set your mind to stick with it at least 2 weeks faithfully, and you will be on your way!  Once those cravings for sugar are gone, it all gets easier!  Be sure to check out the recipe section!  You will be amazed!   ;D

Welcome mrsahr! I am Umpa,Dougs wife. You have found the right place ;) If I can help you please ask.I have a column on the homepage called ask umpa where I can convert your favorite foods to fat to skinny friendly.The reason fat to skinny works is replacements.We don't remove foods we replace them that way there are no foods to add back in after you lose the weight.Lifestyle change ,cycle broken.In two weeks you are gonna feel like a new woman! Take your measurements ;)

Next time you're at the grocery, pick up a 20 pound bag of potatoes or onions.
You'll get a real appreciation for what you've accomplished so far! 8)
