Hubby and I seem to be losing at a rate of 3-4 lbs. per month. Since Aug. 15, he's dropped 35 lbs. and is now well below 200 lbs. for the first time in 8 years. I'm flirting now with 200 -- at 205 -- and have lost 1/2 lb. shy of 30 lbs. We're both shooting to land somewhere in the neighborhood of 150, which is a good weight for us both. The FTS lifestyle been so successful for us that we sing the praises of Fat to Skinny everywhere we go. Truthfully, this is the only diet my husband would stick with, because he's not fond o veggies and doesn't particularly enjoy fruit. That said, he's now eating broccoli and caulimash and is positively crazy about wasabi coleslaw. Working together on the plan has made it very successful for us both. Thanks Doug and Umpa for providing us the tools for success. The recipes are great, and now that I'm retired, I'm enjoying experimenting with all of them. About the only thing we really miss is pasta. My husband is Italian, and it's been a staple for him nearly all of his life. We did try the one recommended in the book, but found it to be way too much like slimy gummy worms. Macaphony & Cheese recipe is great. Also, we found Rao's red sauces at Fresh Market. They are 3 net carbs and wonderful!
