Determinedtolose Ugh! I'm stressing out at work right now and I want something sweet!!!!

Diane I hear ya.....................

I am my normal Atkins food. Stillman's is very bland and boring, bleh, but guess worth it when one sees the scale going down.

Diane, sweetie hang in there, maybe turn your thoughts to something that grosses you out, so you can forget about your craving for sugar. I hear that it works. Just a little thought.

cskies · 05-05-2008, 11:54 AM

sorry about the sugar craving diana
do you have a diet soda near by that you can drink.... with a straw?? the soda will last longer with a straw!! or some sugar free jello????

magickal1 · 05-05-2008, 11:54 AM

slatman · 05-05-2008, 12:09 PM

Moretta.. yes stillman's is very boring .. the more you stick exactly to plan the more you lose... it is tough.. adding things here and there is where you get into trouble you have to
keep the carbs under 20... zero is better
The ones doing heavy exercise can stay in ketosis while adding some good veggie carbs but it's a slippery slope...sticking EXACTLY to plan is the best plan

slatman · 05-05-2008, 12:10 PM

post a pic of your yard when you get a chance 1.5 acres wow thats a lot of grass

LoraJR72 · 05-05-2008, 12:18 PM

Hello,

Here is the plan I am on.

I've been too busy and very frustrated to write in the journal so bear with me.

cskies · 05-05-2008, 12:25 PM

Lora...is that the same as or similar to greysheeters? it is a very disciplined plan...good for you...glad it is working for you!!

LoraJR72 · 05-05-2008, 12:30 PM

I don't know much about greysheet but FA is VERY STRICT!

KSS: WTG on your loss.

I ate a ton of shrimp on Stillmans . Get the big bag at Costco and lots of low-carb cocktail sauce

Are you doing ok diana? I was thinking you could try some cottage cheese with equal or splenda and cinnamon? That might help too??

Determinedtolose · 05-05-2008, 02:45 PM

Hi Ahh, thanks for the encouragement and the sympathies Everyone! LOL!!

I'm doing fine now, I drank a couple of bottled waters and now I'm a-okay!

Denise, I will have some sweentened cottage cheese, for dessert tonight instead of having it for dinner. That's a good idea! Thanks!

Magickal a 1.5 acre yard! Girl you better be losing after mowing that! I thought maybe you had mower that you sit down and ride! LOL!!

Thanks Moretta!!

Yep I needed to read that too Slatman!!!

Crohnie and shrimp do sound good!!! I've got the cocktail sauce too.

Thanks Everyone, I will do the same for you too!!!

Moretta · 05-05-2008, 02:55 PM

Magikcal: WTG you rock girl with 1.5 acres. That was a great workout for the day. Keep it up.

Diane: Glad the water took away your craving.

Slatman: Thanks for the information. I would not go off track because I would keep track of everything in Fitday even if I am doing Stillmans. I like to know my calorie intake per day etc.

DEBI IN OHIO · 05-05-2008, 05:20 PM

crohnie--welcome back
the sweet tooth was trying to get me also, today ever since those waffles my son had this morning.
menu today
b-one minute flax muffin
l-double protein shake
d-sirloin burger
snack--3 ounces of heavy whipping cream with some flavoring (but forgot it wasnt sweet) DUHHHHHHH

cskies..I forgot to mention...I was at walmart and saw all the snowcone syrups...most are NOT sugar free...did u double check before u made the purchase???

Crohnie · 05-05-2008, 07:21 PM

Thanks for the welcome back

B_ 2 HB eggs

L- Roastbeef rolls ups with horseradish
1/2 cup cottage cheeese

s- small piece pepperoni

d- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
Sirloin steak

5 22 oz waters.. Not bad for day 1

LaRon · 05-05-2008, 11:00 PM

After my cheat day on Sunday, I surprisingly was not that hungry on Monday. I drank my coffee w/HWC in the morning, had to force myself to have some tuna for lunch then a couple of meatballs for dinner. Don't know what is up with me. Do you think even after my cheat I was still in ketosis? Or is it easier to get back to ketosis since I cheated basically within only a couple of hours then got back on track? In any case, I guess I shouldn't complain, I didn't gain any weight beside 1 pound after the cheat. Hopefully I can get back full swing in the next day or two.

Everyone is doing awesome. Keep on plugging, one day at a time. I am worth it!

Determinedtolose · 05-06-2008, 03:15 AM

Good Morning Everyone!!

Surprisingly, I'm up early again this morning. That just means I can exercise earlier and longer.

I'm happy to say that I'm down a lb! I didn't expect that, but I must have done something right!

Hi LaRon, I don't know anything about Ketosis, lol, I have never checked myself for that because I was just losing. But you're doing well and as long as you're losing, you'll know that you're in ketosis, even if you don't check for it.

I'll talk to everyone later!!

cskies · 05-06-2008, 03:53 AM

Morning...nice surprise to see you this early Diana!!

We are going to get more rain today...not too happy about that but can't complain...it is better than drought!!

Got my first cup of coffee and my treadmill is calling my name!!

B- tuna/hb egg mix
L- turkey slices
D- hamburger pattie, cottage cheese

Have a great day everyone!!

AmyInTX · 05-06-2008, 06:22 AM

good morning!! TOM is still here.... so my plan for today is the same as yesterdays ... eat Stillman's and drown in water.... yay

i hope everyone is doing well!

my allergies are killing me today .... my left eye will not stop watering.

B- 2 hb eggs
L- tuna with a lil bit of mustard
D- ?
S- 1/2 c cottage cheese

shari · 05-06-2008, 06:46 AM

Good morning everyone

Wow, a lot of new people since the end of last month...

As I'm sure you already know..this is one of the best places to come for support and encouragement.

Congrats to everyone who've lost weight..keep up the good work

Cskies~to answer your question (omitting the food

) We went to St. Thomas..just walked around as we've been there before, St. Kitts..did a tour of the island, Grenada..tour of the island, Bonaire..snorkeled..the best I've ever had so far..so many beautiful fish and turtles..amazing, Aruba..4wd tour excursion..really nice to see the desert area, botanical gardens, natural bridge. This was a really nice, relaxing, pampered trip. Wish I could do it all over again

Well, yesterday went well...that's 2 days on plan. I can already tell that some of the water weight has left

. Maybe, I'll be brave enough to step on the scale tomorrow

Have a good day everyone and let's make this plan work!!!

Thanks for asking! I had success with Stillman's but after a week, I felt soooo tired. I was really dragging. Then I just didn't feel well on Stillman's, so I went back to a "modified" Atkins. I still feel encouraged and positive about losing my weight!
Congrats to all of you; you are doing so well!! I still read all of your posts!

magickal1 · 05-06-2008, 07:33 AM

larae if u are draggin u should add fat it will help !!!
missed u tho

and very glad to see u

That's exactly what I did, and I felt better right away! That is why I called my WOE "modified Atkins". I liked losing on Stillman's, and it certainly helped to get the scale moving down. I'm really watching carefully what I eat, so I am hoping the scale will begin to move downward again!

cskies: we had an inch of rain last night with those storms that came through. Supposed to get more rain tonight and tomorrow. The ground is saturated and still cold. Not good for the veggie garden!

Moretta · 05-06-2008, 08:22 AM

Happy Tuesday everyone.

Today I decided to use as a refeed day. So I am doing Atkins today all day.

I have lost .2 grams this morning, not a big deal as long as the scale is going down I'm happy.

I will be back on Stillmans tomorrow again.

magickal: WTG girl, I guess the mowing paid off.

shari: Glad you had a great trip. Welcome Back.

diane: Congrats on losing a lb you go girl.

cskies: yucky to rain, but sounds like you are doing great.

LaRon: Yay to getting back on track and to not being hungry. I felt the same way after 1/2 day of doing Stillman's, I found my hunger suppressed.
