Hello Courage from Chicago, your turn to start somewhere

[Courage]

How do you get to be 236 pounds?  The same way you get to be 10, 30, 50 or 100 pounds overweight.  One bite at a time.
Unwrap, bite, chew, savior, swallow.  Repeat.
Ahead is my hope that tomorrow will be different.
This forum has given me hope when, I feel like hanging up the towel to eat.  I log on and it disappears, Wow.  It makes me want to change.  
I thought I knew how to eat right, I thought I knew what my limits were, but I didn't.  If anyone is teachable, willing to let go of all old ideas you will learn allot form Doug and this great team members at this forum.  If your willing to follow instructions you will learn things you can use for the rest of your life.
My strength and power will continue to come from my FTS forum village. I really believe that somethings are sent from above, the bottom line is there are people in my path that will encourage, challenge and most important I will not be alone.


To my FTS family.
Courage in Chicago.

that's true...many people that are close to you in your life will try to get you to EAT things that you KNOW are going to hinder your success but YOU have to be STRONG enough, and DEDICATED enough to not fall during these times of temptation!!!!! I don't know if they do it intentionally or if it just "happens" but it happens to me ALL the time:( i will NEVER let other people or situations dictate to me what i put into MY body, & i urge all of you to adopt that into your mindset .... hey you don't make them eat PORK RINDS....LOL   its your BODY & your LIFE, do as you please with it,if you choose to BLOAT & DESTROY it..... i feel so sorry for your choice. I (and i pray you) have seen the LIGHT, come out of the DARKNESS & set yourself free from your SUGAR addiction:) THE END:)

Hi Courage, I agree with you that FTS is a divine inspiration and Doug and Umpa are the channel.  Words cannot express the results my husband has experienced since starting the program in May.  He is like a brand new man.  I have never seen him stick with anything like he is to this and it is nothing short of a miracle and answer to prayer.  You are going to be amazed how much your life will change!
