Does anyone on here do line dancing? My aerobics instructor has a group that travels and she ASKED me to join them. I am excited and don't have a clue how to do it. She said she was so impressed with my weight loss dedication and the way I keep up that she wants me to join her group. Sorry, I guess I am bragging but it is exciting to me to not be so fat anymore. I still have a few pounds to go on that stupid BMI scale to get down to the over weight mark. But hey, I plan on not being obese by the end of April.

Keep up the good work everyone!!! I'm so proud of all of you...

Wow Spenckey1! How exciting to be asked to join the dance group!! I would jump at the chance to do that. I love to dance, it's such good exercise! I would be bragging too Girl, no problem!!!

You can really get some pounds down by doing that! Whoohoo!!

Hi KSS! That is great for 2 day!! Good job on drinking the water too! I know what you mean about being impatient. I feel like that sometime, but we just have to take this woe one day at a time.
KUTGW!!!

I was in ketosis when I ran 3 miles...I felt really good for some reason. So when I do my race do you think I should take the gu gel right before, or during? I am hoping it will give me energy to increase my time a little. TIA
Jessie

Good for you Jessie on the running! That's awesome! Your weight is going to start melting off you!

Slatman, I've wasted time, just dilly-dallying around. This is the month, it's at my reach, and it's taunting me!

But I will get there, I say before the end of the month.
In fact I'm going to start exercising. I have an ellipitcal I really need to use.

That's it, I'm doing it! I'm done talking about it!!

marymc · 04-01-2008, 01:00 PM

Whew... busy day already.... gotta go back and read posts later, but hello to everyone!!

Diana, you are a hoot... I was like WHAT??? Ya had me going girl.. that was a good one!

Slatman, sending prayers your way.

Not sure WHAT I'm doing this week but just wanted to mark my spot. With all the physical yardwork (turning soil, mixing and hauling wheelbarrows of dirt, bending, squatting, planting, yadayada) I was feeling mighty dizzy and weak so added some fats, veggies and good carbs back in for now, more Atkins right now than anything I suppose. Didn't know what else to do.

Will check back with everyone when I cycle back! Hoping April brings some great losses for all of us!!

Determinedtolose · 04-01-2008, 03:03 PM

Magickal1, take your measurements! I bet you lost some inches!! That's really good!

slatman · 04-01-2008, 04:08 PM

I am drinking way to much diet soda... stopping today who's in?
I stop or cut back and go right back to it...

No more soda day 1

Going to post by the day day1 day2 day3 etc..

Windycitygal38 · 04-01-2008, 04:30 PM

Just wondering if any of you experienced unusual spotting while on Stillmans? I have been getting some spotting the last few days. I am mid cycle but this has NEVER happened to me before and I am in my 30s-I just started Stillmans a week ago so could this be from the drastic diet change you think??

As it is, I drink only 1 soda a day. I drink half for lunch and the other for dinner. But I would like to stop altogether, if I can.

Windy, I'm on the every 2 month plan and I don't know if it's because of lc or because I'm 47 and I'm getting at that age where all that yucky stuff happens!

cskies · 04-01-2008, 06:28 PM

5 miles on the treadmill...done!!

eating was totally off the charts...blah

and slatman..you are killing me with the no soda.... I might consider limiting it but eliminating it is so not going to happen for me!!

Good Luck to you!

Hope everyone made it through the day with a smile on their face!!

Determinedtolose · 04-01-2008, 07:15 PM

Well the steak is even better to me. Watching David eat always makes me hungry! I had to change the channel.

cskies · 04-01-2008, 07:28 PM

I like to watch QVC when they are selling the steaks and hams...watching the guy eat is a bit unnerving though I agree!! lol Never have bought anything from there but it is entertaining...I was watching the biggest loser tonight though so missed the cookie/cake extravaganza!! thank god!!

marymc · 04-01-2008, 07:37 PM

LOL Denise.. oh and I'm with ya on the diet sodas BTW. I'm neither ready to cut back or give them up!!!!!

cskies · 04-01-2008, 08:10 PM

Yeah.. I am pretty sure no one wants to see me diet soda deprived!! It just wouldn't be nice!!

cskies · 04-02-2008, 03:51 AM

Wow...Morning Time!!

Got my walking shoes on and ready to hit the treadmill....will watch the morning news and make a food plan in my head while I am on it! I need to get serious and put some effort into my food plan starting today!

Keep up all the good work everyone!!

DarKilp · 04-02-2008, 06:33 AM

Morning everyone!!!
I want to start on Stillmans today....but I'm confused about some of the things I've been reading......eat every 2-3 hours.....eat until you are full....do/don't watch the calorie intake.
Any advise would be Greatly Appreciated.
Thanks!!
Darla

sammykay · 04-02-2008, 06:49 AM

Hello,
Giving up diet sodas....I wonder how much sodium I get from them.

Yesterday, I was traveling for a new job and had lunch with the CEO - I ate more atkins style with a salad.

cskies you are truely my inspiration - have been working out daily on the ellpticcal trying to match your mileage. So thank you.
Slatman thanks for all of your information through out the last few months. had read all of the previous posts.
I am going to not weigh until April 10. I let the little up and downs effect my moods to much. By 10 days, I am sure I should lose something.
