Downeast - Saturday weigh-in

[downeast]

I’m back! I posted a couple times in July but have not been back since. I started FTS in early July and had great results. Then I slid away from the plan for 2 weeks in August I had several social functions and a lot of travelling and just didn’t make the right meal choices. I gained 10.8 pounds in those 2 weeks. I have now been back with FTS for one week - and lost 11.4 pounds this week. I am so thrilled. I was afraid  it would take me weeks to get back to where I was, so I am greatly encouraged. Total loss so far is 24.2 pounds. I’m starting to realize when I am not hungry, and when I am, and don’t eat by the clock. It often results in eating only twice a day but still not being hungry. The flax bread recipe is a great component of my daily plan for fibre and filling me up.

Now, to keep my determination going and not be led astray again...

That's wonderful!  I had also gained, from steroids, from an accident but lost more than I gained. Keep at it! Welcome back.

[Doug Varrieur]

Stay the course Beebs my dear, your body will respond in time. Good for you on the exercise, great for your heart and metabolism. I spent the afternoon chopping wood! It's 55 degrees at my cabin, big roaring fire in the fire place

Downeast it works great when if ya use it.  check in more often and if you fill like your going to stray from the plan get in here and we will all push you in the proper direction.
            Beebs stay the course. How is are your BS readings staying low?

[beebs]

They're pretty good most days. Stress sends em thru the roof though.

[Doug Varrieur]

Beebers...two months is a long time on a plateau, time for you to go as close to zero carb as you can for a week to break the cycle, watch your BS.

[Phil]

Stress is a bad very bad thing. Screws up weight loss. Also cut those carbs as low as you can. Park as far away from the store as possible so ya have to walk futher (makes my wife crazy  ) but I need all the extra I can get. Read F2S again, when I get hung up that's what I do.

[beebs]

I cut back to like ten but my blood sugar started dropping out then I started having cravings for crazy stuff.
I guess maybe I need to try the coconut oil......It's like my body hit freeze frame....

[katary]

Beebers did you cut out the sweets & breads...cakes like Doug suggested weeks ago? 

[beebs]

I definitely cut back yes.

Are you still having your weekly carb treats??You said you reward yourself once a week for doing well.That will end your weight loss.
