General Discussion / stopping by to say hello
« on: February 25, 2013, 03:47:38 PM »
Hello ya all, been checking out the post, see many of you are still here that were here back over a year ago when I was on FTS.  I got to admit I have missed ya all!  I wonder where I would be now if I had not quit. I have been pretty sick all winter, just now starting to get over the bronchitis and other problems. I plan to stop by more often, it is such an encouragement when I read your posts and love the recipes you give out. Pray for me that I can find the strength to stay on a diet, my life depends on me losing weight and now.

Oh Suz that sounds so awesome, I hope you will tell us all about your journey along the way, you are living my dream. We use to have an RV and loved it so much. Our dream is to get another one and when hubby retires in 5 years we hope to travel like that too! 
Doug wow, Love that set up you all have, awesome.

Thanks everyone.
Andrea my family doc did an ekg, than she thought there was a problem, sent me to get a monitor which I had to wear then return, than when I went back to see my family doc, she just said oh it was okay ... that was about it. I have not been having it much anymore, sometimes I think maybe it was more broncial than heart due to I also have asthma, but than sometimes I do feel some pains and worry. My husband has to miss work everytime I have to go to doctors, so I try not to go much, if however it continued or got any worse I would for sure see about it more. Being as huge as I am, just walking from room to room makes me short of breath and my heart pounds fast.  My husband had to have open  heart in 2010, he is not overweight but he has sugar and heart disease. So we both need to get back with this program.

Hello ya all,
It's been months since I checked in with you all. I am still fat as a pig and desperate to change, I always find hope when I read your discussions and encouragement. I think where I could of been by now had I not quit your fat to skinny program. I got concerned with my heart when I began to have chest pains and was so fearful I was eating too much high fats, but when I go back to normal foods, trying to watch the calories, oh boy, what a roller coaster ride I seem to stay on.
I still feel like you all are 'old friends' when I read your posts. Keep praying for me . God bless ya all. Rose

Hello Umpa, have fun and be safe, enjoy some sunshine for us.
Umpa, I had to recover my pc  last week, lost all the recipe books that Doug had emailed to me as I earned them making so many posts
Would it be possible for Doug to resend them to me.
Thanks much.

Very interesting to learn what  you all do! I am retired now. I started out in factories, than I was a floral designer working in a local shop, that job I loved but no money much. I still do lots of floral designs, crafts of all sorts and sewing and crocheting, I just love to make things and it keeps me busy. Than I started my own Christian daycare in my home and did that for 18 years, just retired  due to health problems from that 3 years ago. I was a preacher's daughter, now I am a preacher's wife, and a southern gospel singer. We  had a wonderful nursing home ministry for years till my husband began having heart problems. Working with children most of my life was very rewarding job that I loved doing here in Ohio.

I love all you guys, you are so wonderful and encouraging !!!!
I feel better today.  I did take the trash can and threw out tons of sugary stuff yesterday and the rest I gave away. That was hard to do too, but I was desperate.
I have always been very sensitive to sweets and to caffenine, they gives me shakes, makes my heart speed up etc,.... so I really have got to stop and stop now.
Today we met family for dinner and all I ate was salad and chicken and drank water.
I let hubby know, it was over, no more not ever and not even for Christmas or I tell ya the way I have been feeling I did not know if I would live through Christmas if I do not stop the sugars and the pop and junk.
Hubby got a little annoyed when I threw the stuff away but he knows how desperately we both  need to get a grip.
Than I was looking over the grocery receipt from yesterday I saw peanut brittle, sure enough hubby bought him peanut butter and hid it in garage.... and he is diabetic and he has already had 3 by pass...
what to do?
So thanks all for your comments, and I am not giving up. Keep the prayer going up.
Merry Christmas to you all.

I have not been dieting for the last month or so, not following the fts diet lately, and I went for the dreaded check up today at my doctor today. When I told her how I have lost and gained lost and gained, she tried to talk me into a lapband surgery. I told her NO. I just cannot do that, too afraid.
Than she did an ekg and was not  happy with it, so she has me going next Friday to get a monitor put on my heart for 24 hours.  They took a bunch of blood and I will see her again when all results are back in. She would not really explain what was bad in the ekg, said she'd wait till more tests results are in.  Oh my blood pressure was  really high too so she increased my bp pill oh and did I mention I gained 2 pounds since I saw her a year ago :'( :'( :'(
Needless to say I am so upset. I need all the prayers you all can send my way.
