Welcome to the FTS family, Lovie912!!!
If you haven't read Doug's book, please do so as soon as you can.
It will give you solid direction on getting started in your FTS lifestyle.
In my 62 years, I've tried virtually everything (short of surgery) to
lose weight.
And every time, I would lose some, but then put it ALL back on PLUS more!
The FTS lifestyle REALLY works! The science behind it is rock solid.
I've been eating this way since August 2010, and LOVE it.
There are so many delicious low carb alternatives to high carb junk, it's amazing.
And it will work for you too!
In order for us to help you better right now, please record EVERYTHING you eat and drink at our "Meal Plans" thread;
http://www.fattoskinny.net/index.php?board=32.0We can look at it and give you advice on what may need to change.
All the best!
Tony
