I started FTS!
« on: March 13, 2012, 08:16:31 PM »
I started the FTS lifestyle on January 10, 2012. As of today (8 weeks later) I have lost 33lbs. My starting weight was 307lbs and if you do the math I currently weigh 274lbs!!! Does this seem about right or should I be weighing less? I am enjoying the new eating challenge, BUT do I have my days when all I want is a shamrock shake (like today)! :)

Hi Lance and welcome to the FTS forum!!   :)  Wow 33 lbs....that is awesome!!  I believe everyone drops weight at different speeds but you are doing great!  As for the shamrock shake if it is what I am thinking it is try this: http://www.fattoskinny.net/index.php?topic=1170.15

Instead of the chocolate syrup increase your sweetener add a few drops of green food coloring and about 1/4-1/2 tsp of mint extract.   I like my shakes thick so I probably put 2 to 3 times the ice in mine.  You can play with it to get the consistency you like.....yummy    FTS shakes save me in the summer time  ;)   Again welcome...please chime in often

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

Kudos on the 33 pound loss! ;D ;D ;D

Each person's progress toward their goal is unique.
Some lose very quickly. While others lose very slowly.

And, weight loss is much more complex then pounds lost.
It also involves decreased size and biochemical changes in the body.

Looking forward to hearing more about your FTS journey!
