Welcome SuziD
maybe cut cheese out for awhile and eat enough meat and eggs until you're full. Try to stay away from processed meats and get some mayo, butter, coconut oil in for fat.

Good luck! and if you find it doesn't work in the next few days, then I would go back to eating veggies. Everyone is so different so it might not work for some.

I would just like to say that I ate 2 eggs and a nice tenderloin steak for lunch!
YUM YUM YUM
I might even eat some more steak if I'm hungry in a half hour

Thanks for the reply yes think I will cut the cheese for a couple of days. Have also been having cream in my coffee so might cut that too. Must admit I'm defo not feeling as hungry and I'm getting through mayo and butter like u wouldn't believe!! Will up my water too as only getting about 6 glasses today.
Thanks for the advice. Hopefully will show a good loss in a couple of days!

Yes definitely get lots of water down, that help a lot! I have cream in my coffee every morning but only have cheese a few times a week if that.
I keep on saying on my posts that the more I eat, the more I lose. But it's so true! I ate a HUGE steak one night before bed because I felt hungry and just knew I would gain from it, but instead I dropped almost 2lbs.
I've been drinking at least 8 glasses a day sometimes more.
Another thing is rest, the more and better you sleep, the more you lose.

I do seem to be eating loads! All good! Thanks for the advice your profile pic is lovely by the way! What an inspiration u are!

Congratulations on the losses, ladies, and keep on truckin'. I'm doing this til thursday (I'm in the UK so no turkey day for me but I have a cheese bake thing that needs eating that day) and then going back to my regular atkins eating thursday through monday, then I may do another few days of m/e (not that I've had a lot of e so far).

I'm enjoying it actually, but I do think veggies etc at the weekends will make it manageable for me if I decide to try it longer terms.

Today:
Roasted pork belly with spring onion
Venison steak with spring onion
1 mini salami stick
flax

-Couldn't do this without my spring onion (scallions) it goes so well with most meat and just enhances flavour. I only use a small amount so it's almost like seasoning. Also goes well in scrambled egg!

Oh and alizgurl - it is SO true that the better you sleep the more you lose. I have serious sleep issues and if I'm having an insomniac week I often sts. After a good night's sleep I usually lose. I think it has to do with stress/cortisol levels.

[Kittee]

I finally had my woosh today!! Went from 140 to 138.4 since yesterday. Yahoo! Now for the dreaded Thanksgiving....I am going out for Thanksgiving so I will do my best. I don't want to screw this up!

[Snoangel]

I'm really having a hard time staying on track today! I want to eat off plan really bad and I'm trying my hardest to maybe eat veggies instead of something full of sugar and carbs. It's gotta be TOM! By posting this, I'm thinking it will put a stop to me eating off plan at all.

[readyfredy]

I got off plan this weekend (for one meal) because I got engaged and my parents took us out to dinner. I am back on plan and aiming to lose 2 lbs this week (good luck me with the holidays!)

Congrats!!

I've been having a couple cream cheese clouds everyday and I'm finding that they help curb my cravings for sweet (more want than craving, I suppose) I made some tonight with pumpkin and am waiting for them to freeze a little so I can have a couple.

I agree about the cheese. I love cheese so it wasn't easy for me either. I don't think a little would hurt, but cut back as much as you can on it.

I add a little onion to my ground beef and burgers. I haven't had a problem and it's such a small amount, just enough to add flavor. My hubby is British and Thanksgiving is still new to him. This is his 5th.

I wish sleep would get better for me! I literally lay awake for hours and then wake up once I'm asleep.

[Snoangel]

Well, I was good and ate some steak instead of eating off plan

Good job!

TMI Question: What do you guys do for ummm...movement issues? I haven't had a BM in 3 days.

[SuziD]

Well had a bit of a loss today, so that's good news! Am really Pleased. Just need to keep it going now but I'm finding it ok and not boring at all. Today's breakfast is a bacon omelette, lunch will be a couple of small chicken breasts and I will decide on dinner later!
Oh and lots of water!
Hope everyone has a good day! Xxx

[Erika1962]

Good Morning all Well I made it through another day, couldn't resist the cheese but had a little drop anyways so I am very pleased, There is only one thing I regret, that I haven't found this thread earlier, I could have had a few more pounds in my Thanksgiving day *piggy bank*

Yesterdays menu

B--None
L--3 eggs
D--Chicken drumsticks, 2 eggs, cheddar
S--MORE cheddar (is a cheese addict)

11/18--169.2 lbs
11/19--166.6 lbs in shock, I thought I would be up eating all this meat!
11/20--166.6 lbs
11/21--165.6


Faith...Congratulations on 70 pounds lost, that is fantastic! And thank you! your crossed fingers worked!

Tina...Hi, nice to meet you!

Kittee...nice woosh!

Readyfredy...Congratulations on the engagement!

Oceana...awesome job on beating TOM cravings


Have a great day everyone

[Erika1962]

Tina I forgot to post about the, emm, *help*, since I have really bad problems in that department I tried out just about every product that is out there. I found two that do the trick, one is chocolate smooth move tea and the other is SWISS KRISS, hope this helps

1 tbsp flax per day and I go daily. I have mine mixed with sweetened and alpro unsweetened soya milk so its a little like oatmeal. There are lots of other fibre supplements you can take too.

Congratulations! How exciting!

[LoriAS]

I also do flax in muffin form. It is amazing for keeping things moving IMO.

[Erika1962]

Flaxseed is something absolutely wonderful, and I just LOVE my flaxseed muffins! However, I would be careful taking them after already being constipated for 3 days, I would *clean out* first so there can't be any serious problems like bowel obstruction/ fecal impaction, ( you really don't want to know how I know )

[It's Faith]

Good Morning, Everybody!
Darn it, hit the wrong button and posted too fast, LOL!

I just wanted to check in really fast and then I'm probably not going to be on the computer the rest of the day. I apologize for not taking the time to respond to anyone this morning, I see a few I want to respond to. If it's okay, I will do that on Friday because I likely will not be touching the computer tomorrow either.

I weighed in at 251.8 this morning and I'm so happy! I may even hit my challenge target of 249 tomorrow! I will be here to continue on Friday, for sure.

My menu yesterday:

80 oz. water
2 mugs regular coffee w/3 Tbsp. hwc
Cream cheese eggs (which were so yum!)
1 Tbsp. coconut oil
2 deviled eggs

Today, so far I have had a cup of coffee w/1.5 Tbsp. hwc and another batch of cream cheese eggs. In them I put cream cheese, 2 eggs, butter, and another Tbsp. hwc. I don't know yet what I'll be having to eat for the rest of the day. Probably at least one boiled egg, maybe 2, as I'll be boiling up a bunch to serve deviled eggs tomorrow.

So, Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!! I hope you all have a wonderful day!

I drink smooth move tea and take a fiber supplement. The tea works great and also taste great.

Have a great day everyone

GREAT JOB! I know what you mean about Thanksgiving! I think I'm gonna have a lil bit of anything I want, and not feel guilty about it at all because it's planned.

Well when I weighed myself this morning (despite TOM) I saw the number 140.9
YAY I was kinda confused and thought It said 150 cause I was so sleepy haha.
So I'm a pound away from my second and final goal (1st was 145)
That puts me at a loss of 7.5lbs since I started the M/E fast.

Have a wonderful day everyone!

[readyfredy]

Thanks everyone! I had another cheat last night oops! Gonna get back on plan today. Stay mostly on plan for thanksgiving and then meat and egg fast hard for the next week!

[Snoangel]

Yay Faith!!!!
Hope you have a happy Thanksgiving as well!

[Erika1962]

Why won't it let me to page 11

[Moonlights]

Evenin' all.

Today wasn't the best, mainly because I couldn't eat what I'd planned to for my main meal so I did a quick freeze grab of pork ribs instead. They never seem to cook right for me so I didn't enjoy them or eat much of them, and I put a soya sauce and five spice marinade which was yummy but - I'd have felt better with just plain meat.

Today was my last m/e day because I have a cheese bake that needs eating tomorrow - but the week has gone well for me and I'm considering doing it again from Sunday at least for a few days.

Today:

Venison steak and spring onion

Prawns in butter

Pork ribs with soya sauce and 5 spice

3 mini salami sticks

Flax

Have a wonderful thanksgiving everyone! I'm jealous of your turkey!
