Hi my new FTS friends,
My friend "maddiesmom" told me about FTS. She has done exceptionally well and I'm SO proud of her. As most of you know she's lost 80 somthing pounds!!! She is an inspiration to me. As for me, I need to lose about 50 pounds, and my husband needs to take off 100lbs. I am an animal lover with 5 dogs and 2 cats. I walk my dogs (yes, all at the same time), about 5 times a week early in the morning before it gets hot. We walk 3 to 4 miles each time. So I get an ample amount of exercise I think. As for the diet, we have ditched the sugar, white flour, bread, potatoes, etc.......Funny how with the "replacements" we haven't missed the old things. We love the creamed cauliflower just as much as the creamed potatoes, and eating the sugar free deserts occasionally instead of the sugary stuff. Soft drinks have never been an issue because we really don't like the sugar ones (too sweet), or the diet ones because they leave such a nasty after taste. Instead, we just drink water or crystal light (lots of flavors to choose from too). Went to the doctor for a check up today and he told me that I definitely have the exercise down, but that evidently I'm still eating too much food. I'm doing a heck of job at maintaining at 192 or 193, but that's not the goal here. By the way, I'm 5'6" We have been "doing" the FTS lifestyle for about a month now. Maybe it's not enough time to start losing yet. I guess I also need to think about cutting back on the food even more than I have.
