17 days....11 lbs down!
« on: August 01, 2011, 02:19:47 PM »
Hi  ;D
I've been living the FTS way for 17 days and feel wonderful!  

I lost 7 the first week..... but can do that on any diet I can manage to stay on for a week. (water weight)

So I was very surprised when I returned from vacation yesterday and lost 4 lbs my second week!
WOW! I can't believe I lost weight and ate all the stuff that I did!  I didn't eat any "diet" food and lost 4 lbs!  
 
I can't believe how suppressed my appetite is..... but I have to admit I'm scared it will come back!

Way to go Fred!!  Isn't this an awesome way to eat!!  I agree with Jo, if you stay at 20 or less, it will stay off!  Welcome to the forum!  Don't be a stranger.  ;)

Welcome to the family, fredfred41! :) :) :) :) :) :)

Kudos on the wonderful start!
You'll begin to feel soooo much better than you did before you started very soon.

Thanks to FTS, I'm no longer type II diabetic, my blood pressure is normal, my cholesterol is good, and my A1c is 5.3 (very good).
If you have insulin resistance issues like most of us here, you will soon see wonderful changes!

I'm looking forward to hearing more about your FTS journey!

Hello fredfred41,

Welcome! Tomorrow marks a month for me.  My first 11 pounds came off really easy too.  As long as you keep track of your carb intake and keep it under 20 things will be wonderful.  I am still measuring and reading labels BUT I have been lazy about writing down what I am eating.  So be it, I am stalled and have been for 4 days.  Amazingly I can feel the "weight" and know if I am losing or not.  Today am gonna read Doug's book again and make some of the snack trays.  Also write everything I eat down to find the hidden carbs I'm eating LOL ;D
