as i sit here....i am thinking to myself,is it possible that almost 4 months ago i weighed 275 lbs? and i answer YES it is a fact:( that i was so not in control of myself that i allowed that to happen....this morning i stepped on the scale to see a wonderful # 194 lbs...whats that ?? 81 lbs of FAT that i have shed since April 12Th. and i must say i am very .....fulfilled in this accomplishment,but i find myself reading other peoples situations and feel like i need to help everyone else,if anyone reading this doubts the way FTS works,please let it into your life,embrace it, &  discover yourself:) it is the real deal:) today i saw 2 people that i have not seen since i committed to FTS & both said that i was too skinny:) of course they are both very over weight:( i have found that even the closest people in my life have tried to derail my progress..... by trying to persuade me to change my life,and to EAT things that would hamper me in meeting my goals...long story short..... dont believe what others say....dont fall into their trap....they will only hurt your chances of success.....stay strong & you will reach your goal & find yourself:) that's it:) c ya:)

Congrats I only hope that I will have the same story as you in 6 months or so . I have been on it just since Monday and I can not believe how good I feel . No wonder it is easy to stay on it .Is the bread you make easy to make ? Can you give me the recipe ? The one with the cheese & Itailan Ham in the toaster sounded very good . Thanks & congrats !

Congratulations! You are a wonderful success story and inspiration for the rest of us.

Not sure what besides jealousy would motivate someone to say you are "too" skinny when you lose weight.  My sister told me I looked like I had anorexia after I lost 45 lbs.  I told her that I didn't think that likely at 5'6" and 160 lbs.  Gary, your success is astounding and just goes to show what we can do when we really make up our minds to get serious about taking control of our own bodies and health.  You are a great inspiration. You obviously have a good heart to show so much concern for others too!

WHACK......THUD..... that's the sound of me hitting another plateau & and then hitting the floor:( in my 18Th week, i have gained 2 lbs:( 196 lbs is the # that freakin scale gave be back today as i stood there hoping to hit my goal weight of 190 lbs at 1st i wanted to cry:( but then i didn't want to look like a girl .....( that's a joke ladies) but i have to believe that its just a temporary setback.... i didn't eat anything bad at all this weekend, i was as active as i ususally am, blah blah blah ...... I'll take my own advice and "buck up" hoping that next Monday I'll see better results....okay so that puts me at these #'s 18 weeks FTS,started at 275 lbs,at 196 lbs, lost 79 lbs..... and I'm complaining?? maybe another reread is in order???

[gonnagetthere]

Everbody stay the course and always remember to Tweak. Gary, with all the exercise you're getting and all the protein you eat I'm not surprised you gained a bit of weight. How are the pants fitting these days?
