Congratulations, maddysmom.  That's a thrilling accomplishment. I know that dread and anxiety - such a relief to feel "normal" and lose those worries one by one.

downeast I think you hit it on the nose, "Normal". I think most of us have not felt "normal" in many years. It really feels great when we can do things other skinnier people take for granted like airplanes, movie seats and to an extent even booths at some restaurants. Normal feels really nice :) Way to go maddysmom and all the rest of us that are just trying to feel normal.  :) :)

Hi Sherri!  :)

Normal?.... Remember Doug talking about "normal" peoples' jeans in his book?

All of us that are working toward our weight loss goals are looking for that feeling.
And the closer we get to those goals, the more of that "normal" feeling we experience!  :)
Ain't it FANTASTIC!!!  ;D ;D ;D

LOL @ "normal people's jeans" ...  ;)

Yesterday I was digging through a box of old clothes that I'm trying to fit back into. I was surprised to be able to pull out 3 more pairs of jeans and 2 pairs of shorts. I was thrilled that I could get them on, albeit they're still a little tight. I stood there looking at them and realized they were what I used to consider my "fat jeans" way, way back when.

And here I am excited to be close to fitting into them again.  "Normal" -- what's that? :D

Congrats to you Maddysmom.
Only thing you should change is the word "IF" from your thoughts..
Not if you continue to lose weight ~~~ You WILL continue to lose weight...
just continue to live a healthy lifestyle.
You WILL be on a roller coaster very soon!
May God Bless You and Keep you on this wonderful life heading strait for you. :)

Thank you Carmen Maria and welcome to the forum!  I know you are right! No "ifs" here!   ;)
Actually.... I was thankful to be down another .8 this morning which makes 60 lbs gone now!  When I decided to try FTS, I prayed and asked God to just please bless my efforts....and He is faithful!  
It's going to be a GREAT day!  :)

Thanks! 
....and Doug, I DO feel so much better!  Also, I am SO glad there's awesome people out there like OWENSMATH who care about others enough to keep telling me I should try FTS.  Looking back, I sure wish I had listened to her sooner!  My first day, she emailed & said..."Welcome to your new lifestyle!!"  I just love her!!

Welcome to our family, Carmen Maria!  :) :) :)

You definitely have the right attitude about being successful at this lifestyle.

The Lord tells us in His Word that we are to EXPECT his blessings by faith in order to receive them.
If we expect to succeed as if it were a matter of fact, we will succeed!
There are no "ifs", "ands", or "buts" about it!!!
