Right from the Start!
« on: August 31, 2010, 12:00:57 AM »
I knew I had found the right way to eat as soon as I read this book!  It was like a light bulb going on.
I finally found the right way for me to lose weight.  I have spent so much money trying to find the right plan, and nothing worked.  I started this way of eating nine weeks ago and have lost 21 pounds.
I also injured my back about a week after I started my new way of eating, but I have not been detoured I just keep a positive attitude even tho with this back pain I get discourage at times.  I thank God I found this book.  I had called my girlfriend and told her how discourage I was with my weight and she told me about this book.  It is the best thing that ever happened to me for weight loss. Plus my doctor had put me on diabetes medication and this book came at the right time in my life.  I had never looked at sugar the way it is explained in the book.  I never realized how much suger was in everything.  I still need to lose 30 pounds but I know I will do it. My clothes are fitting much better and It feels so wonderful.  Hopefully in time my back pain will get better and I will be thinner as well.  I am so grateful to Doug for writing this book.

Welcome Hope!  So glad you found FTS.  It has been a miracle for so many of us!  My husband was on 4 insulin shots a day and now takes none since ridding his body of all the sugar.  And you are right, Doug's book is amazing.  I always thought I was feeding my husband pretty healthy until I read it.  So glad you are here. Looking for to FTS-ing with you and sharing success stories.  :)

Hi Hope! Welcome to the discussion, congrats on the weight loss.. I know how good it feels  8) Le's talk back pain  :-[ I was bothered with back pain throughout my life and was even scheduled for back surgery in the late 80's. My pain was in my lower back and pain traveled down my leg (sciatic) As you know from reading FTS I'm a do it yourself kinda guy and the day before surgery I took another path. I decided to try stretching routines instead. I studied yoga to see what all the hoopla was about and played around with some of the moves. I discovered for me it only took one of the moves to resolve my back problems....the "CAT COW"

This particular move stretches all the muscles that were causing my problems and that of many people in the opposite direction of normal use. Within a few weeks I was completely pain free and have never looked back!  No doctor, no surgery, no drugs.......

I don't know what your particular back problems are but I would suggest you visit a yoga instructor for a consultation  ;)

Try the downward dog. That's a nice back stretch!

Thank for sharing, It's really nice to have support from others who have, been there and done that, and now have finally found out the truth about why other ways of eating don't work for us. Hope

Doug, Thankyou for your support. I have been going to an acupuncturist and also a chiropractor for my pain.  I started doing the execise you sent and it will surely  strengthen my back.  I don't know if my pain is from a pinched nerve or muscle spasm or what. I am still losing weight though and that helps my spirit if nothing else. I weight in every Monday.  I started at 199lbs and now weigh 178 as of today.  I am elated about that!  I am so happy you wrote  FAT TO SKINNY. Thanks to you and your wife for being there for us.

Hi Paula, your news about diabetes sounds wonderful to me.  The more weight I lose is promising.
I would also like to be able to stop taking the meds someday.  I am just doing what I need to do right now and we will see how my sugars are when I go to the doc. I am optimistic but also know that it may not happen, but at least my weight will be at a much better place. Hope

P.S. I hope I am replying at the right place, this is all new to me and I don't want to seem ignorant but I am technologically challenged.  :) This is the first forum I have ever participated in.
