FIT & FINE AT 50 (AUG 3RD)

[joagain]

 OK  I started FTS last year at this time the Monday before my birthday stumpled a few times then got my real start Sept 20th and have not looked back . Yall have heard all my whining ,moaning & complaining about being a slow loser ,The fact of the matter is that like everyone has said some people lose slower that being true ,we do have to watch portion control along with watching our carbs  .

Well we can all see  I did not reach my goal  that I wanted too ,which of course is  kinda , but for me not a surprise . BUt I will always eat the FTS way ,I will never go back   .  I feel better then I have in years ,Tylers sugar is better he eats FTS about 80 % of the time . Low carb is diffently the way to live the rest of our lives !!!

 So this post is just to say I am starting FTS today with the newness that I did when I finally got it  on Sept 20th of last year !
My goal weight is set on the high end of what I want to weigh , I will probably need to lose more but that is my goal right now !

This is a new year for me and I will reach my goal by this time next I will be

                                                               FIT AT 50 !!!!!

Hey Joagain,

Happy Birthday Wednesday!!!  You go girl.

Happy Happy Birthday Jo!!!  That is such a great way to think about things...... 

You know.... when I started this way of eating I thought maybe I would drop some weight.  I had no idea that I would have all the benefits that I found with FTS.  I have been struggling with my health for the last 6 years (probably longer but didn't realize) It is scary to be my age and realize if I want to make it in my 80's (at the least!)   I have a long way to go.  The way I was going I believe I wouldn't make it much past my 50's or 60's.   I'm like you I can't see myself eating anyother way now.  It's not a matter of cheating on a diet etc..... it's how I feel.  Eating the way I used to eat just makes me sick period.  (not just bad for my health sick but sick to my stomach sick)  I love the way I feel now.  Those FF or sugary snacks and chips aren't worth feeling sick for me...  You will get there Jo......slow as she goes like a sail boat gliding through the water.   I'm slow to but I figure that it will stay off easier that way

You can do this!Happy birthday UBER!

You can do it, Jo!

And remember ... being healthy is much more important than being skinny.

Thanks Guys , Umpa even when we do count our blessings we do sometimes let the negative shine more . 
 
I have always been a glass half empty kinda person , really trying to change that this year    Is Doug out of town or have I just been missing his post ?

Hope you have a great birthday Jo!  I am only 2 birthdays away from 50 myself.  I am not dreading it at all now that FTS is a part of my life.  I think the best is yet to come for all of us!  Just want you to know that you are a blessing to me! I love your humor, and I am so glad you are here on the forum with us!!

Hi Jo!

I absolutely love your attitude!!!
If you keep your eye on the prize and not the negatives, you will win the war!

And Rena's positively correct!... "being healthy is much more important than being skinny."
