I guess I am stuck on fat

Water water and more water.
I don't drink sodas, crystal lights, nothing.
In fact, I've answered your question re water before, I drink about 10 glasses a day.

  Shihtzumom1 I SEE what happened with your name ...I did'nt change it on purpose I was spelling your name wrong and my "curse word" filter that I have installed was changing the word sh#% to poop....sorry about that!

Ok Jo and Toddy, back to you...are there any meds involved in your lives?...if so what are they?

[owensmath]

So sorry to repeat my questions. I was trying to help. I won't bother you anymore. I assure you.

Jo & Linda.... you've both said you're thinking of giving up after 3 weeks??? come on now ladies... 3 weeks isn't enough time to even get your feet wet:) if i gave up on everything in my life that didn't work 100% the way i wanted it to within 3 weeks, well..... i cant think of anything that i wouldn't of given up on!!! step back and look at your options here....  at the very least give the book another once over and review your food intake:) ....hey we wouldn't be trying to give you advice if we didn't care about your success:) i mean the only thing we gain from you sticking with it & being successful.... is the knowledge that BOTH OF YOU..... were strong enough,wanted it bad enough, and had the courage to succeed!!!! if both or either one of you quit now, the only ones that lose in that equation..... is you:(  so come on,get back in the saddle:) we want you both in for the long haul,not 3 weeks and out... http://fattoskinny.net/index.php?topic=627.0

I am not giving up I am just Busted & Disgusted ! I am going back to low / no carbs to see what I am doing wrong . It might have been the chinese resturant I tought i did good but maybe hidden sugars more then I tought & I know the salads or probably more so I am going back to the start .

 I am drinking nothing but unsweetened tea & water & I take no meds . It has to be my salads  ! I am leaving them off this week

[ShihTzuMom1]

Doug, sorry to get defensive , I thought you were angry with me for my confusing post.  I thought you were calling me names.  All is ok.

Jo, hang in there, as I said if you are feeling better and losing inches, something wonderful must be going on inside.  Your scale will catch up soon.  My brother-in-law also a fellow FTS person, rarely gets on the scale, he just goes by his blood sugar and how he feels, and that his clothes are getting looser.  I think women are slaves to the scale (I know I am).  Consider yourself **hugged** and go on from here.
Have a great day!

Thanks it did sound like doug was calling you names I did not even notice that  LOL but he would not do that . Thanks for the hug & I do need to stay off the scale because if I was doing this just for the way I feel i would not be questioning  anything because I do feel great .
I just let the scale make or break me have done it for years ,that is another addiction I need to break . I have not had indegestion or acid reflux since I started the FTS . I have stoped the cravings for bread ,I still think about it but am not craving it .  For those reasons alone causes me to keep going . Thanks Guys

I am not giving up either, I'm taking stock and seeing where I might be going wrong.
I really do want to succeed, you're right Gary, its just disheartening that's all and Jo and I seem to be only ones who really tell how we are feeling (negative thoughts), where everyone else is positively positive.

Linda

PS Doug, I take Nexium, but haven't been taking it daily since beginning FTS, I also take a Vitamin B and also a daily multi-vitamin and the occasional allergy tablets.

Ok everyone needs to take a chill pill! Start writing down everything you eat post it if you want. I started a food diary on the forum awhile back. It helps alot when you can go back and see what you ate all day.

[paulachappell]

I think it is a big mistake to compare our own results to anyone else. My husband has taken almost 3 months to lose 20 lbs. Not a fantastic weight loss story   so far but the improvement in his overall health and well-being is phenomenal. This works!! And look how engaged and passionate Doug and Umpa are. We are all here to help and encourage each other while transforming ourselves into healthier people.

[ShihTzuMom1]

Getting healthy is everyone's main goal!!   Everyone gets a **hug** today!

[gonnagetthere]

OK Beebs I just took my chill pill  And Paula it is so true that we should not compare to others we are all different it is funny that me & linda (toddy44) or having the same slow weight loss maybe we started on a bad day LOL .
 I am going to right everything down  but I am gonna leave the salads off
 Gary I aint quitin you aint getting rid of me that easy .
 I just dont need to get on the SCALEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
Doug & Unpa are very supportive that is for sure . & I thank all of you for yalls support !

[katary]

OMG.... i just looked up the carb count in "chill pills" its like 50 bazillion per pill:( dont OD on them please:)

[owensmath]

Gary, don't forget to subtract the 50 million grams of fiber.

[katary]

lol.....you got me:)
