But ... that's okay. Slow is good enough for me. I never was much of a speed demon anyway.

OH Tommie... just saw this and even though you aren't "new" to induction, thought it might be helpful for ya!
HELPFUL HINTS 4 ANYONE NEW 2 INDUCTION:

Oh Jeepers Mary!! I think losing slow is better than not losing! Who cares about the speed. You are doing fine!! We'll get there in our own good time.

You know, I'm actually going through something right now. My body feels like it wants to have TOM, but nothing! I feel crampy in that area, and I feel hungry all the time. I want to eat, like my hunger is not satisfied. So I may have to eat more and eat fat. I don't think I can do Stillmans anymore.
So I started exercising and using my elliptical for 30 min the last 3 days. Today I did Pilates for 25. I think if I do this, and just eat regular lc, I'll eventually lose! Who cares about the time frame!

Hello All.

Hope everyone had a great day.

Dh brought home an ice cream cake for my b-day!!!

We are going to grill ~~DRUM ROLL 4 SHALA~~ Hamburgers!! LOL LOL LOL

Which is good cause I only eat fish and chicken and turkey. NO Beef.

But Girls, i do love my "MEAT"!!!

Off to grill!!

See ya in the A.M.

marymc · 04-24-2008, 02:54 PM

Diana, I am right with you on that!!!

The exercise will help move that along much more quickly and I'm sure it would help me too, but ya know how I feel about deliberate exercise!!

Stillman's was really good for breaking stalls for me but I couldn't get in enough food or calories even with the extra fat I did allow and since I didn't have any appetite for food it was hard to eat enough. The clincher for me though was when I got to feeling so weak and puny when I was trying to work outside! I knew then that something wasn't right. And ya know, since changing my diet to be more balanced, I haven't had that problem at all! In fact, I feel very strong and have tons more energy.

I don't mean this in any kind of negative manner, but I really don't know how some of the Stillman folks can exercise like they do ... I would totally pass out! But it could be because I am still over 200 pounds and I need a lot more calories at this weight just to function. My BMR is like 2200 calories at this weight!!! With Stillman's I wasn't getting in the calories I needed to just function. Just not worth it to me. I'm with ya... I'd just rather go slow.

Determinedtolose · 04-24-2008, 03:00 PM

I'm starting to think that way too! That I need more food to get by. This eating no fat and vegetables is killing me. I heard from to ladies I talk in other threads to skip Stillmans, lol! I think I may do that!!

I keep telling DH this, as long as I eat lc, proteins, salads, veggies and fats, I should lose weight and exercise too! How can we not!!! So what is my problem?! I shouldn't be in a hurry. But that's my problem! I want it to come off fast, or did want that.

So I am content to just let it come off slow. I'm getting mental with my hormones getting out of whack! I don't need to another thing to add to that!!

Determinedtolose · 04-24-2008, 03:04 PM

Order a lc cake from Shala's sil! That sounds good!!

Speaking of cake!! I have to make one for my nephews birthday Saturday!! He asked me to do it.

Plus that cute little stinker requested my mom, his grandmother to make red chile for Saturday too!!

That is my weakness and downfall!! My moms' red chile is fantastic!!! Then there's the spanish rice and beans!! Yikes!!!

TK, where are you!!! I hope you're doing alright!!

Has anyone heard from TK?

Determinedtolose · 04-24-2008, 03:05 PM

Onefit!!! Yeah!!!

marymc · 04-24-2008, 03:10 PM

What is red chile??

No, I haven't talked to her, but I've been pretty busy working in the yard and doing housework. I just figured she must be busy. Hope she's okay! I'm sure she'll pop in soon.

and you better not leave us- don't even feel guilty- you always give us good advice and we would all miss talking to ya about everday things

Kim- I am so happy for ya!!

I'm glad you guys talked through things. Guys never talk about their feelings, mine doesn't for sure! Hopefully things will turn around for ya both!

Tommie- I know whatcha mean about the meat- I don't know if I can hack another burger or dog!! I know when I was on ww Meat was so high in points accept chicken n fish!! And then I couldn't have as much as I wanted!

My mind gets soooooooooo tired of thinking about food and what plan I should be on!! And by the way- from your picture you look great anyway!!! I don't see fat! But I know, we all have something we don't like!! And I tell ya one thing- after you have kids your boobs aren't the same- just call me 39 longs

Mary and Brandi...I grew up listening to Jerry Baker. He was a local guy (Detroit)...He used to have a local tv and radio show. My mom always used his concoctions.

Diana...I used to turn to Atkins to lose weight quick, but this time I have really come to realize that losing the weight this slow steady way will work out best in the long run. Cause I always gained it back so quick! Also with you ramping up with exercise, you are probably building some muscle mass. Get out that tape measurer!!!!

kathys52 · 04-25-2008, 02:49 AM

Hmmmm...Kitty never showed up...now I'M worried! I will be MIA until tomorrow night! Taking a road trip (to Cereal Ciy USA, Battlecreek, MI) with our CEO today to visit another community health center. Then tonight 3 of my girlfriends (and co-workers) and I are having a night out at the new Injun Casino...got a room so we won't have to drive home tonight. You would LOVE this place Tommie....real fancy/smancy....3,000 slots....lots of penny machines. Lots of drinking (and most likely eating) and tons of girl talk planned. DH is being a pouty baby cause I am going, although I told him about this 6 weeks ago! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Too bad...so sad....NOT!

Marsy...Didn't kill anyone yet, but wanted to kill DH last night. He knew how tired I was and how I felt like crap. But he still was making so much noise last night just puttering around. His son was here and they were working on their cars and coming in and out of the house, which made the dogs bark EVERY TIME! Then his idiot son calls at 11:30 last night for some stupid reason! I did get some sleep, but not a whole lot...

Soooooooo...the week isn't over...I may still kill somebody today! OK...confession time...I drugged Lola last night so she would let me sleep! OK...this is my grand dog for you newbies...

I gave her a 1/2 of a pill of the tranquilizer they gave my lab after her surgery. It didn't knock her out, but she did sleep last night...

I think I had a dream (nightmare) she stopped breathing...OMG, my daughter would kill me if anything happened to that dog.

Well, hopefully my DD's made it to Rome OK...they should be there by now (left yesterday from Chicago). They are staying with their friend who teaches English over there, so I'm sure they will have access to a computer. She warned them that the Italian guys will be all over them with their blond hair, being so gorgeous, and being twins! Hopefully they will fall in love with RICH Italian men while over there and buy me a little villa in Venice...Well, only in my dreams...

Reminds me, wanted to watch "Under the Tuscan Sun" again...

As far as me and my struggles with reaching goal...I seem to be up a couple pounds this week...not really cheating, but not being real careful either. Had a roll yesterday at a meeting, but also had a big piece of fish with some brocolli. Then last night I was still full and didn't eat at all. So...it gets hard when you are really busy to think about planning meals...that's my problem at least.

OK...Everyone have a great day!
Kathy

marymc · 04-25-2008, 05:36 AM

Morning Ladies!!!
I'm off and running early again.

Going to run by my cousin's house early this morning to get my mother's rosary back. When my aunt was dying a few months back, I brought it to my cousin since mama died with it (this aunt was my mother's sister) and I wanted her to have it as she passed. My aunt prayed her rosary every single day without fail so of course she had her own rosary but this one was a special connection between them. Anyway, my cousin's daughter has been sleeping with it since her grandma passed, but said she is ready to give it back to me. It is one of my few treasured things that always goes with me when we have to evacuate for hurricanes!

Also found out another one of my cousins lost a son in Iraq last week to a roadside bomb. His body arrives home today from Iraq so the funeral is this weekend. I didn't know the young man personally - for some reason this set of cousins were never real close with the rest of the family - and apparently he has been living out of state for many years, but he will be buried here at the VA national cemetery in Biloxi. I knew as soon as I saw the local news report about his death that he was related to me because my mom's maiden name is so unusual. He was only 22.

Kathy, on Jerry Baker ... I have heard of him forever, but never had any of his books with the formulas so I never got around to trying any of them until now. I have a rather large backyard area, and since we had a very mild winter, the backyard especially was hard hit by just about every weed imaginable by the time spring got here. I had put down both weed killer and fertilizer on both the front and back yard, but until I used some of Jerry Baker's concoctions on my lawn, the grass just wasn't coming up. His formula seemed to have woken it up and now the fertilizer is doing its job and the grass seems to finally be taking over the weeds!

So, I don't know if I can credit it to JB or not, but I'm gonna keep using them and see!

On the weight loss... I too turned back to Atkins/low carb hoping for a more rapid weight loss but it just did not happen for me this time. My body is much happier with this more balanced approach, even though it is a pain in the bootie to have to track everything.

But, I know if I'm eating like this I HAVE to track everything or I will overeat on carbs and calories and be right back where I started. Soooooo, if I can eat a balanced diet and not have to condemn any food group and still dump this weight if only at a pound or two a week ... then so be it. Just so long as it leaves!!

On your DH .... why are men like that??? My husband does that all the time - I'm trying to sleep and he'll be banging around making all kinds of noise. Yet, when he is sleeping, or even just taking a nap, I'll turn the phone ringer off and quietly move around the house so as not to wake him! Why can he not do the same thing??

On your overnight trip ... now THAT sounds like a blast!!!!

Can I come too????? What fun!!!! Well.... have a good time and stay safe!! Maybe you can actually get some sleep! Or, maybe not hehehe...

Well, I'm off to eat breakfast and get started with my day! Everyone had a GREAT day. BBL...

mom276 · 04-25-2008, 06:51 AM

Good morning ladies!!
Happy belated birthday onefit!!

Well I am still at 142 - I have been doing pilates everyday at lunch time!! I remember Dr. Oz saying it's your waist size that matters not so much your weight. I think he said your waist should be half the size of your height. So I am 5'3 so my waist size should be a 26. 5 in. NOT try a 37!!!

Mary thanks again for reposting the snack list and linda's receipe site- I found a bunch of great dinner ideas!! I think I might buy one of Jerry Bakers books - I would love my yard to grow, especially in the back! We have to plant some more grass seed this year and plant a couple of trees.
Diana - How are the pills goin'- any side effects?
Kitty - hope you're okay

good morning to all you other beautiful ladies!!

Tecnokitty · 04-25-2008, 07:01 AM

WOE: Crack the Fat Loss Code	Morning Ladies!!! I'm off and running early again. Going to run by my cousin's house early this morning to get my mother's rosary back. When my aunt was dying a few months back, I brought it to my cousin since mama died with it (this aunt was my mother's sister) and I wanted her to have it as she passed. My aunt prayed her rosary every single day without fail so of course she had her own rosary but this one was a special connection between them. Anyway, my cousin's daughter has been sleeping with it since her grandma passed, but said she is ready to give it back to me. It is one of my few treasured things that always goes with me when we have to evacuate for hurricanes! Also found out another one of my cousins lost a son in Iraq last week to a roadside bomb. His body arrives home today from Iraq so the funeral is this weekend. I didn't know the young man personally - for some reason this set of cousins were never real close with the rest of the family - and apparently he has been living out of state for many years, but he will be buried here at the VA national cemetery in Biloxi. I knew as soon as I saw the local news report about his death that he was related to me because my mom's maiden name is so unusual. He was only 22. Kathy, on Jerry Baker ... I have heard of him forever, but never had any of his books with the formulas so I never got around to trying any of them until now. I have a rather large backyard area, and since we had a very mild winter, the backyard especially was hard hit by just about every weed imaginable by the time spring got here. I had put down both weed killer and fertilizer on both the front and back yard, but until I used some of Jerry Baker's concoctions on my lawn, the grass just wasn't coming up. His formula seemed to have woken it up and now the fertilizer is doing its job and the grass seems to finally be taking over the weeds! So, I don't know if I can credit it to JB or not, but I'm gonna keep using them and see! On the weight loss... I too turned back to Atkins/low carb hoping for a more rapid weight loss but it just did not happen for me this time. My body is much happier with this more balanced approach, even though it is a pain in the bootie to have to track everything. But, I know if I'm eating like this I HAVE to track everything or I will overeat on carbs and calories and be right back where I started. Soooooo, if I can eat a balanced diet and not have to condemn any food group and still dump this weight if only at a pound or two a week ... then so be it. Just so long as it leaves!! On your DH .... why are men like that??? My husband does that all the time - I'm trying to sleep and he'll be banging around making all kinds of noise. Yet, when he is sleeping, or even just taking a nap, I'll turn the phone ringer off and quietly move around the house so as not to wake him! Why can he not do the same thing?? On your overnight trip ... now THAT sounds like a blast!!!! Can I come too????? What fun!!!! Well.... have a good time and stay safe!! Maybe you can actually get some sleep! Or, maybe not hehehe... Well, I'm off to eat breakfast and get started with my day! Everyone had a GREAT day. BBL...

Oh well, there is nothing I can do about it so no sense in making myself miserable about it. Been up since 4 cause I just couldn't get my brain to shut up so I got a bunch of work done. Time to get the little dude his b-fast. I'll try and pop in later.
