Great reminder Doug!

This plan of waiting 15 minutes often works for me with sweets, too. Delay, delay, delay. Oh, well, maybe tomorrow.

That is what I will do because I have been with FTS for a long time now and still only lost 8 lbs. so sad but I know its my portions. Thanks Doug. And I am on medication that added about 20 lbs so can that come off ? I cannot be without these meds. Atleast not yet. To go off I need to be on an island alone with just fish and the fish would not be to safe. I will talk to dr next week when I go in for my diabetes check. Which will be done.

Meds can raise havoc with our weight, especially steroids, talk to the doc, see what he advises.

Howdy Sweeties, 

      Buford here, I am a Type ll diabetic. The VA folks told me about now
on three years ago. They put me on Metformin and Glybride(Don't have bottles)
so I might have spelled them wrong. At the time of my first blood test my BS was
459 and I was drinking water like I had been in the desert for a month.

    Now for the rest of the story, nothing has changed my BS level as much as
low carb eating and FTS is the easiest of all the ways I have found to stay
where I need to be. The big plus to me was 85lbs of gut and butt are now history.
My BS without any meds this morning was 95 (goes from 85 to 120) during the
day according to what I eat. Now if I stick to Doug's half plate plan it stays under
100. I don't make two plates (I'm a ole fart and live with my girls "LCD",
LCD=Low Carb Dogs, they love it.) I put half of every meal in a freezer bag right
away. This works for me and I have a freezer full of meals to have the next day,
week or whenever.

    Diabeties can be cured and I mean cured IMHO, with life style and FTS is the
best of the best to get you there.

Our Best to Yu and Yours,
Buford and the Girls(MissyBelle and Princess)

YOU ARE TRULY MY EVIL TWIN!

[sweeties]

Thanks buford for all your advice. I go this week to docs and will ask him. The meds I am on are not steroids they are anxiety meds but I want to ask him if would help the weight loss if I stopped them.  I would be less anxious if I fit in my pants . lol

[buford354]

Sweeties,

    Let me tell you about anxiety. You lose 80 lbs, pickup two heavy grocery
bags (one in each hand) then get half way across the Publix parking lot and
start to feel your jeans sliding pass where your behind used da stop them
and not wondering if in walking slower or stopping is the right thing to do to
save your dignity.

Now thats anxiety

[SarahC]

Hahaha! I'll be the one sitting in my car, making bets on whether the pants win or you do!

[mouseissue]

Been there. Done that, Buford!
But it happened to me in our Fred Meyer (Kroger) parking lot.

Good thing I was wearing a coat. Otherwise I would have been advertising my underwear.
Those last few steps to the car were quite challenging!
Bought a couple pair of new jeans that weekend.

I  have seen it happen to an older women at Walmart .  I helped out gave her my coat  because she was so embarrassed. I am glad you guys where almost at your car
