12lbs in 3 weeks
« on: September 19, 2010, 12:21:02 PM »
I have tried so many other wieght loss plans, but since I started having thyroid issues I just couldn't keep the weight off.  I tried going low fat.  Everything I ate was fat free, low fat or low calorie, but my sugar cravings were so bad I'd break down and eat sugar.  I would crave cans of frosting and I could eat a whole can in one sitting.

Diabetes runs in my family and I knew I had to find something, but I just couldn't seem to beat the sugar.  I had noticed a friend had lost a lot of weight so I asked her what she was doing.  She told me it may sound silly, but she read the book FTS and if she could do it anyone could.

I bought the book read it in two days and started my new way of living the next day.  In three weeks I have lost 12lbs and my awful sugar cravings are gone.  I don't feel like I'm starving and I haven't even added any exercise in yet.  The future is looking much brighter!!
