What I Have Lost In The Last 8 Months !!!!

[joagain]

1. My Addiction to Carbs
2. My Headaches
3. My Heartburn/Acid Reflux
4. My Sinus problems
5. My Stomach issues
6. My Sleeping Problems
7. My Need for midday naps
8. My Drugged feeling after eating High Carb Meals
9. My Type 1 Diabetic Son's High Blood Sugar spikes
10. My Feelings of Being a Failure because I could not stay on a DIET

OH and I have also lost

3 Pant sizes
33 Pounds
30 All over Inch's
2 Ring sizes
1 Shoe Size

What have I gained

Control over my out of control eating
Great friends form this Forum
Knowledge about different foods
How to Bake from Scratch
How to cook new foods that I had never heard of much less tasted

When I started all I thought & hoped for was to lose the weight that I have been trying to lose for 25 years or more ,I never knew that all this other would take place . You get so much more from living the FTS life style then just weight loss .
 I will always be thankful that I found Doug's Book and I will do all I can to get people to listen .

Thanks Doug & Umpa for the Books & the Forum !

I so very happy for you, Jo!

The FTS lifestyle provides MANY more blessings that just a smaller number on the scale.
It does more than any diet could ever do!

 FTS ROCKS!!!

Jo you rock. I love this post!! I love the way you broke it all down and how much your life has changed. Congratulations. How in the world did you loose a shoe size? LOL

[joagain]

Hi Sherri!

My wife recently dropped half a shoe size.

When we lose excess FAT, we lose it from our scalps to our toes.
Every place that we have skin is prone to hold at least some FAT stores underneath.

I, as yet, have not dropped a shoe size.
But some of my dress shoes fit better than they did before!
In fact, one pair is getting a bit "sloppy"!

Maddysmom...Great new picture...You look fabulous and maddy does too!

Thank you Theresa!    It's funny because I used to avoid cameras at all cost.  Now days they really aren't so scary after all!    I sure am enjoying the time with my girl before she goes back to college.

Almost two hundred pounds lost on me...none in my feet. LOL
