I'm a newbie

[Cara]

I am a newbie and proud of it. I started a few weeks ago and have already lost 10 pounds, and my sugars are looking better. I am thankful for the support. When life forces us to change we need support or we fall back into the same routines. I have done several diets in the past, some successful, some not. They have always made me want to go to bed at 7pm, because I had already eaten the food for the day. This is not the case with FTS. I can stay up as late as I want because food is not CALLING ME FROM THE KITCHEN. I don't feel the urge to eat because I feel satisfied.

Yay Cara!!!!!!!  I am so excited that you are enjoying the FTS lifestyle and have joined the forum.  I'll tell everyone that you are my baby sister and I am so proud that you have decided to get on board with our brother-in-law and I.  You are fortunate that you are getting started before the doctor has put you on diabetic meds.  By the next time you go to your doctors he won't even be able to tell that high blood sugar numbers was an issue.  Keep up the good work and just ask me or anyone on the forum if you have any questions and enjoy your journey to your new healthy life!!!

Your sister is right!
After 12 days in this lifestyle, I went to my doctor's for a scheduled checkup and blood draw.
He (and I) we so pleased at how much better my entire blood profile looked!
My blood sugar dropped from 121 to 107!
It was sooooo encouraging!!!
