How much and how long?
« on: February 17, 2011, 01:18:45 PM »
I love in Doug's book where he says watch the weight "melt off."  Having been on this lifestyle change journey, I have already lost 6 lbs. in 5 days. (loving the melt and not starving!)

It is always a great motivator to see how much people have lost and how long it has taken.  Some of the tickers show lots of progress.  It would be fun to see how long the process has taken you.

6 lbs. 5 days

39.5 pounds in 7 months.  It has been slow taking off these last 5 pounds.  It has been around 2 months, 1/2 pound at a time, but I don't want to "diet" to get them off quickly.  I'm just continuing as I have been eating and they are coming off.  This is a lifestyle change so the finish line is not my goal weight, so it really doesn't matter how long it is taking.

No one should envy me, I just have way too much to loose! I am so thrilled though to be getting close to the finish line. ShihTzuMom1 (aka SkinnyMom) is right though, this is a lifestyle change not a diet. So when we loose all our weight we are still going to be FTS'ers forever. I am just so happy to have found something that finally works and doesn't feel like a diet at all! I told my husband the other night that it's crazy that I can eat pork roast and whipped cream (not together necessarily) and still loose weight. I love FTS and I can't thank Doug and Umpa enough for releasing the book.

That's because you can cook!! :)

Speaking of cooking, I think we need to have a cook over weekend at your house. We could all drive up!

LOL, Sherripie!
I bet most of you would get car sick trying to get to my house in the mountains. I even make myself sick sometimes driving on my road! Ask Doug and Umpa. They have a friend who lives around the corner from me, so I know they have been on my road.
