hey Doug.... saw the new book at Barnes & noble in Cincinnati last night,it was pretty cool:) i didn't buy 1 there were only 2 copies,they had a table of "weight loss and health" books on display as soon as you walked in the door, as luck would have it the "carblovers" diet book sat right next to FTS:(  my daughter picked up the WRONG one and said        " this looks interesting" lol she was kidding around of course!!!!!
anyways just thought I'd give ya an update!!!!!!!!!

better late to the party then never:)    MaInTaInInG my goal weight is at times more challenging than i thought it would be:( i sometimes don't step on the scale for weeks,and more than once i was disappointed when i finally did...... occasionally on the weekends i may let myself slip into the "its okay" mode & eat/drink something that i KNOW i shouldn't, only to do it again the following weekend....well after a few weeks the scale definitely lets me know i was an idiot!!!!!! i always eat lo-carb M-F which helps...but if i gain a few pounds i make myself go back into losing mode till i am back where i want to be,just this week alone i lost 7 lbs to get back to the new Me:) i think 3 weekends of being an idiot put me to that point.......I'm not talking about carbing out all weekend either,just 1 meal and some brewskies is all it takes to make the pants tight......thing is.... i know when to stop & what to do to get back:) and well..... you also have to be disciplined enough to not get addicted again:)  P.S i lost 30$$$$$ on the superbowl to my wife,and she's still rubbing my face in it:(   

where's winter? its definitely not here:)

Gary, I love your recipes - especially the Katary Krackers (sunflower seeds) - but I can't eat them until I start losing again... sigh. When are you going to do another recipe video for us (not a naked one - too distracting)?

You can come to Colorado if you want winter.

Hi Gary!

It's great to hear from you again!

Being in the FTS lifestyle maintenance mode is cool.
Like you said, when you gain a few pounds, you know exactly how to get rid of them quickly... That's cool!

But also like you said, we can't allow ourselves to slip back into our old ways.
Like "carb creep", it could start slowly as a only weekend thing.
Then it becomes every weekend... Later, every weekend and a day or two during the week.
Next thing you know, it's "Carb City" everyday and the pounds will come back on like gangbusters.

I believe the pants are a great indicator of how we're doing.
It does not take long for them to remind us that we are off course.

Hi Katary! Your wife is too cool! You are not alone this happens to every body

[katary]

Tornado's suck!!!!!!! the devastation here in Ky Oh & IN is beyond surreal.... I've never witnessed anything quite like it, some places are just completely obliterated:( the power of mother nature is incredible, luckily we are okay and still have a home, but many many folks cant say that:( even after a week it still looks like it just happened hours ago, prayers for everyone affected are in order, please and thank you:)

[umpa]

In Texas where my folks are they call them the "finger of God",no rhyme or reason where they land. You have our prayers buddy Hugs to you and your family.

I've been sending prayers to all the folks that were hit.... so glad you are ok though Katary.  Being from Kansas I do know the distruction they can cause.   

[SarahC]

Prayers from here as well.

I'm so happy to hear that you and your family were spared, Gary.
Like TooSweet, I too have been sending up prayers for all the folks that were hit.

I also pray that the effected areas, and folks that live in them, recover soon.
