fts works! thanks doug and umpa!
we traded our big dinner plates for little dessert plates to eat our meals on.
we switched from 3 big meals a day to 5 meals a day like fts says.
we use little dessert spoons to eat with instead of soup spoons.
we bullet proof our fridge and freezer to the fts way.
the pantry, we need to bag up the carb/sugar stuff and give it away to a local mission.
buddy walks all day at work at a restaurant. Christina walks 10 minutes inside the house for starters, around and around the house.
used to have a rebounder trampoline but buddy was afraid Christina would hurt her knee or ankle.
Christina drinks 22 eight ounce cups of water a day, half her body weight. buddy drinks 14. we feel like were floating.
we put the salt shaker in the kitchen cupboard instead of on the table. we use pepper instead.
in the last 3 weeks as of today we lost 10 pounds apiece. but we didn't make these changes till a week ago.
we would have lost much more weight if we started fts right away.
our goal is to lose 100 pounds for Christina in the next 6 months and for buddy 50 pounds in 3 months.
this past Tuesday we had a cheat day and that really hurt our
weight loss and so we wont do that again.
what we will do is just pick a fts dessert and eat that, something on the fts menu in doug's and umpa's book.
we use the George Forman inside counter grill to cook our chicken and ground turkey on. easy and less mess and time.
we know we can do it the fts way because it works! no looking back at the past and no regrets.
Christina fits a pair of jeans today that she couldn't 10 lbs. ago. buddy's work clothes are much looser and his belt tighter.
we also go on the internet and look up
weight loss success before and after videos and photos to help with motivation.
what we found is the number one thing people eat is lean chicken and greens, over and again.
thanks fts forum family for your support and encouragement!
