One Reward on FTS-Losing Inches!
« on: August 25, 2010, 01:31:15 PM »
I have been on the FTS program for about 2 1/2 months.  I have not lost very many pounds BUT I have lost inches which is a wonderful reward in itself!  When I get tempted by food, all I have to do is remember trying on a smaller size in slacks.  Feeling thin does taste better than any food I can put into my mouth.  I don't have a lot of weight to lose now (I've lost close to 30 lbs.) over the course of 1 1/2 years -- remember, I'm the one who loses like a slow turtle! :D
I can consume "bad food" in the matter of seconds and it would take me days/weeks to lose the weight gained.  Have a great day and make wise, healthy food choices !!!

Thankfully, the turtle won the race in the end!  I am looking for the "skinny finish line" in the not too far distance !!! :)
Less than 10 pounds to go -- the hardest 10 pounds based on age,
hormones, being female, etc. !!!!!!!   ;)

Have a great day FTS Family !!!

I'm sooooooo happy for you and me!  We will get rid of these hopefully last 10 pounds together and keep them off for life!  I'm so excited to know I will not start this January 2011 with another high weight to be stressed over and have to lose again and again!
Take care and make it a great day!   :D

I'm not sure "how many people" I have created through the years of  gaining weight and losing the weight!!!  I feel sooooooooo good being on this program and losing some weight and as important to me -- inches!  I feel healthy spiritually, mentally and now physically!     Make it a great day!   :D

I also have 10 more lbs to go to.  I'm thinking ramp up my exercise and cut back a little and try to lose it by the end of September! I always feel more motivated this time of the year for some reason.
