JAN!!! I am so glad we are back at the same time! We can do this!! I'm only stepping on that scale once a week, more than that drives me crazy. We can all do this! So nice to be back at our FTS home.

It's nice to have you back, SherriePie!

I AM BACK TOO, JAN AND SHERRYPIE, I had lost 35 since January, than here came parties and vacation and wham..... done gained back several pounds..... and I cannot afford to gain any.

Welcome back KFAITH, it must be the season (for all of us recommitting).

Its old home week!!!! All my kids have come home!!

Welcome back home, Rosie!!!

You have been missed!

You did well losing 35 pounds!
And putting a few back on during a carb "backslide" can be expected.

Your experience demonstrates that the FTS will work, but ONLY if we live it!
We must make it a lifestyle everyday in order to not see any fat reappear that we lost.

With the Good Lord and FTS, you WILL succeed!
Remember, "I/We can do all things through Christ who strengthens me/us." Philippians 4:13 NKJV
He wants you to be healthy. It's your obedience that will bring blessings.

Hey Rosie!!   Oh this is going to be fun!!  Now we just need Jo and Owensmath and it would be like a family reunion!   I am so happy to be back.   Today is my 5th day of doing FTS faithfully, and so far the detox hasn't been too bad.  I am already sleeping SO much better.   I know after 2 weeks I will be on my way again!  I think Saturdays will be my hardest days......working part time at a bakery has probably not been the best idea for this old gal.      So thankful for this forum and all of YOU!

Hi, Jan!

Bakery smells can make sugar detox extra tough. Not to mention, handling the goods.
But it sounds like you're doing wonderfully, despite it.

In my early youth, I would pass by a family-owned Jewish bakery in the mornings walking to school.
I lost count of the times I spent my lunch money on rolls, donuts, or whatever.

These days, when I experience bakery smells, at the first moment, they smell good.
But then, it's like "starch in air" would mess with my sinuses.
After almost 4 years living the FTS lifestyle, even my nose has changed!

A Bakery??Thats  tough!

[Maddysmom]

Yeah, I only help out my friend on Saturdays, and there's really not a lot of baking going on on the weekend.  She does catering too, and right now is wedding season.   She also makes all kinds of jams & jellies and right now the farmer's markets are in full swing.  On Saturdays I am usually by myself. I mainly just wait on customers and clean the shop.  She has a lot of long time weight watcher customers so she sells a lot of "low sugar" items.  On the cases, she has all the nutrition numbers listed for each thing.  Even so.....the lowest carb item is a chocolate chunk cookie...and it still has 8 carbs.   I told her last week that I am BACK on the wagon.  Yesterday morning when I showed up for work, she had already left for the farmers market.   However.....on the stove she had left me a fried egg and a piece of sausage wrapped in foil.  She is such a GREAT friend.

That is a very nice friend you have there, Jan!

She sounds so considerate Jan and as such give her a hug and tell her as your bestest friend you are sure she could invent a low carb cookie/cake to sell in the shop   you know friends do anything for friends.

[Maddysmom]

Yes!  I need to share with her the joys of almond flour & flax seed meal!

I think a low carb bakery would make some serious money. The stuff would be so yummy you wouldn't even know that it was low carb. We could turn the world onto low carb one cupcake at a time.

Hi SherriPie, I was thinking the same thing!

I have been bugging TooSweet to do a Bakery forever!
