I like your "baby", Shawn. :)

I'll bet you don't have to worry about two AM feedings and seemingly endless diaper changes.
I sure don't miss them one little bit!

LOL  I had my share of those Tony!!!  In a funny way I do miss them.  I loved it when my two were little  :D  I laughed when you mentioned 2 am feedings...  This little one is in the habit of needing to go out any time between 3 and 4:30  :o :o  I figure at least he asks to go....it beats the alternative!!!  LOL

Hello--I'm new here, too.  Hopefully it's okay to say hello here.  I didn't know if I should start a new thread or not...

Anyway, I happened to find Doug's book today when I took my kids to the bookstore.  Just roaming around and stopped at the Health/Diet section--that bright yellow book just screamed out to be looked at.  And I'm glad it did!  Even on a budget (ugh, back to school shopping on top of everything else--it adds up) I decided this book was worth the investment and bought it.

I'm really excited to start--tomorrow's my DAY 1--I was writing out a shopping list and thought it'd be good to check out the website, too.

I'm hoping to lose 30 pounds.  It sounds far away, but in 20 weeks I'm going on a mini-vacation with my sister and thought it'd be good to get off the plane and surprise her with less pounds on me.  She's naturally thin (LUCKY!) and we're going to a place where we'll be in swimsuits, so I don't want to be the fat sister--hahaha.  I feel like I've tried lots of diet book advice and not done well, but this plan seems really easy to follow.  We shall see!   :)

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

If you not only want to lose weight, but feel MUCH better and be healthier, you've embarked on the right journey!

You will find that his lifestyle and this forum will do wonders for you.
The emphasis is on REPLACING those unhealthy high sugar foods and NOT deprivation (like diets).

This forum has the most supportive and helpful people that you'll find anywhere.
Be sure to chime in on this forum often.
Folks that do tend to be much more successful than those who do not.

Looking forward to hearing about your FTS journey!

Tony
