Just a Few Days
« on: February 02, 2011, 09:10:52 PM »
I really don't even know where to start!  I heard about FTS about a year ago from owensmath.  I read the book a couple of Saturdays ago and as I read the book I kept thinking "this guy must have met me and my family."  As I turned the pages I was also thinking "these are the same excuses, the same diets, the same scenarios that have played out in my life since I was in 4th grade."  I am working my way into this and trying a couple of new recipes at a time and have stayed below 20 net carbs fairly easily.   I have done a couple of things to help me when I am at the grocery store-- I created a list that I keep in my phone of the "good" things I can pick up at the store including brands to look for.  I also took pictures of the vegetable pages from the book so that I can quickly look up how many carbs in a half cup.  I have lost almost 1/2 pound a day since I started 11 days ago!  The only issues that I have had are some withdrawal headaches and some regrets that I didn't start this several months ago when I first heard about it! I am so excited and pray that this is the answer I've been searching for for years.

You can already see a difference in readyforthis! Her face looks thinner already. I'm so glad you're living FTS with me. It will be good for your daughter, too. YAY!!!

Welcome to the family, readyforthis!  :) :) :)

You're off to a great start!

The sugar withdrawal (detox) headaches will disappear soon.
Like Umpa said, when they do, your energy levels will go WAY up and you feel will like a brand new person!  :)
What you do today is what matters!

Hi Readyforthis,
Welcome!!!  I wish I had started the program when Owensmath first told me about it too. I finally bought the book just out of curiosity, and I am SO glad I did!  You will love this forum.  It has been a great help to me, and I love the folks on here!

Hey, we should plan us an FTS luncheon one Saturday so all of us "Owensmath groupies" can meet each other! :)  That would be SO much fun!

Hey Owensmath, I would seriously LOVE to drive to North Carolina to visit with you folks some Saturday!  I would definitely bring a desssert too!!   

If we got away with sneaking our FTS treats & desserts into the Fox Sports Grill in Downtown Atlanta.....we could do it anywhere!  ha ha  That was so much fun!
