I am raising funds for "Relay for Life"..

I lost my husband to colon cancer 9 yrs ago and my dear Grammy to breast cancer.. Most of us, know of someone, lost someone or even fought the battle with cancer.

I know times are tough, but if you can help, every dollar really does counts.. I appreciate your support..

A couple of months ago I gave my Uncle my old FTS book, yesterday I saw him and he looked amazing.. he has lost 25+.. He look much younger too.. He showed me his stashed.. He isnt doing 20 carbs a day but still, just eliminating all the refine sugars, breads, etc... he stopped taking metformin too...    AWWWW, you rock Uncle Chris.....

So can you tell us a little about the new cookbook  Im so excited

Hi Umpa, how can one make the crumbles that you get in some apple pies?  I was hoping that you can do something like that and I can use it as a granola substitute

Hi all.. I didnt get to bake the cupcakes since I had to leave to pick my sister who was discahrged on Friday.. I ended up buying a small cake but I was very good...

On a great note, there were a few people whom I havent seen in a while (6 months or more) that said I looked amazing..
before you knew it, I was talking about F2S with 4 people at the same time because they were very intrigued and couldnt get enough...One of my friends is having a bbq soon and I told her that I would bring the cupcakes...   moments like that only motivitate you more... 

First I would like to ask everyone to pray for my twin sister Michelle who has been admitted into the hospital for a possible bowel obstructions, severe kidney infection and hernia.

My twin sister had gastric by pass surgery back in 1999 and the stupid Dr who didn't even know what he was doing rupture her spleen which she lost and also did not perform the surgery correctly. She has through out the year become malnutrition, has skin issues, has had pneumonia many times. Last year she almost had septic shock due to an obstruction and had emergency surgery and Thank God that these surgeon where able to repair the damage pretty well considering all the scarring and damaging that has taken place..

She will NEVER be the same..I often fear the worst as I was fearing it this morning until I prayed.  weight loss surgery is NOT the way to go.. I know that we can become desperate at times, but apply that energy and make it work by changing your lifestyle...

So a friend of mine at work borrowed my book and this morning she said she was going to buy it..

What convinced you ask?   lol

Umpa's brownies I made last night.... I was asked the recipe by 3 people.. shared the forum info.. so now that I have taken them to the lake, I hope they drink..

My family LOVED the brownies too...
