Good Morning!

I veered away from the Egg Fast and have been eating Meat/Egg for the last few days. I really need to cut the cheese out because I eat too much of it.
So I'm going to try for just Meat/Eggs again for the next week.

1/7/13: 145.8
1/8/13: 144.4
1/9/13: 142.8
1/12/13: 143.4

Hope everyone has a great ME day!

Yes but she's not cooking it in a crock pot. I can do great pork belly slow roasted in the oven which makes amazing crackling but it doesn't come out as soft as pulled pork/carnitas - I'm thinking about cooking either a shoulder or loin in my crock pot. The skin wouldn't crisp, should I still leave it on or take it off?

I'm struggling right now - I haven't managed a full day megging yet - I've added a little peanut butter, some cream and cheese. Not terrible in low carb terms but not how I wanted to do it. I wonder if it's because I'm just getting back on the diet after 3 weeks off. I am craving carbs like CRAZY. It's also cold so I just want to eat and eat and eat all day long but I don't have enough meat to do that.

Hello ladies

FANTASTIC JOB LOSERS!!!!

Ive still been doing a crappy job of eating on plan. I have to eat out every day cause I have no kitchen. I've been having Greek yogurt at work and a 6in subway sandwich sometimes when I'm really hungry.
I have eaten massive amounts of carbs a day at least a few times a week lately. It's totally doable to eat low carb convenience food, but it's been a real challenge for me this time around. BUT...
I GOT THE APARTMENT

I'm so so happy! Words can't express my excitement!!! It's been a whole year since I moved here to start over leaving everything behind. Now my life is right where I want it to be in every way I get to move in feb 1st and then I'll be able to cook and plan all my meals. So until then I'm not gonna worry too much about staying on plan cause that will just stress me, although I will try my best to stay under 50 carbs a day.
I weighed myself this morning and I was at 140 which isn't so bad considering the way I've been eating for a over few weeks now.
I've bounced between 137-140 for over a week. I feel like 140 is a comfortable weight for me, so as long as I don't go over 140 I'll be a happy camper

Happy losing all!! I can't wait to join back in the first week of February

Oh well I am up 1 lb today but that could be from the "fake " TOM or all the diet coke I had at the movies last night ...the smell of popcorn didn't even drive me insane

[portcop01]

[Erika1962]

Well, I fell of the wagon too, AGAIN, then I got run over by the icecream truck, several times, so disgusted with myself I don't even want to know how much I weigh Fasting today and may be tomorrow and then back on the M/E wagon

[Moonlights]

It seems struggling is common lately, I wonder if it's to do with the time of year.

I'm back on track this week. Yesterday's food was:

2 boiled eggs mashed with mayo and butter

Chicken fried in sesame oil with 5 spice

Steak and scallops

Plus some creamy glucomannan pudding.

Today's plans are:

Flax mim (just flax, egg and water) with butter

Beef brisket

And maybe some more gluc pudding or sugar free jelly.

I've lost about half the weight I put on over Xmas but still have half to go- I think it's been slower than usual for me because of my struggles last week.

[portcop01]

Morning!! Day two back on track down from 164 to 161.4 I did meat and eggs both day,,,

Has anyone tried the pre-packaged boiled eggs you can find in most deli sections in stores?? Are they good?

[Cindy-lou]

woooohooooo thats awesome Lori!!!!


I am still here and scales are still going down just been busy

hope everyone is doing well

[LoriAS]

Thanks, guys! I just love it here!

[Trigger828]

WOOF!

I gotta move a bit of weight now. kinda monkeying around with the same darn 3 lbs and it is starting to drive me insane to the point of being more crazy than I am lol


brunch
giant ribeye fried in butter

MAN I am stuffed right now so dinner will be bacon and eggs probably

other than that tons of water. Will try to do 3 days but usually can only handle 2 before I am yelling for a big salad


wish me luck guys. I gotta move past this 3 lbs. of horror !

[tina1973]

And here I come, crawling back...

It's been awhile since I posted here. I've gone SO off track. I was put on new meds as well and gained back every ounce I ever lost. I'm at my highest weight and absolutely disgusted with myself.

I guess I need to update my stats.

Anyway, I've been bouncing around with this diet and that diet (strictly talking food intake, not "diet" in that sense) trying to find what works. The simple fact being that I want to eat whatever I want without gaining. But we all know we can't. So here I am.

[tina0011]

Hey guys Im not new on the site but havent been here in a few years now.I lost a huge chunk of my weight with the kimmkins thing back hen that was hot.Sence then I have put on about 10 or 15.So not to bad given the fact I havent ben watching it in a few years now.However I now have a thyroid issue.I wonder if it is because of the kimmkins thing I did.? Any thoughts on that? Anyone here have a thyroid issue here? I am back on the wagon as of today and I am at 176.5 I know last time I did this years ago I was losing no les the half a lb a day.I know the daily support from you guys is a big part of the success we all have.Thanks guys and hope you all dont mind me jumping in here with yall.

[portcop01]

Welcome both Tina your in the best place to be here,lots of help.

[Erika1962]

Lori.....congratulations

Trigger.....

Tina1973...I soooooo know how you feel

Tina0011...

Well I started off being good yesterday, until night, that's when the darn binge monster hit me again, I am at wits end, don't know what to do anymore
I guess try again, and again, and...you get the idea...

So far I had today boiled eggs, tuna with mayo...but now I'm home...

[Moonlights]

Can I suggest Glucomannan or flax? I have been struggling too but, while I haven't managed to be completely meat/eg I haven't fallen off of low carb because I either have sweetned flax porridge - 30g flax, milk substitute, sweetener, mixed and microwaved - or glucomannan pudding - milk substitute, flavouring, sweetener, 1 tsp glucomannan powder to thicken it to pudding consistency.

Both are very high fibre supplements and filling. When I'm tempted to go off plan I eat one or the other and it usually fills me enough to take the urge away.

[Erika1962]

Thanks Moonlight! I have been eating a lot of flax over the past year, I usually make muffins in the microwave but they gave me a few good scares in the bathroom department, to the point where I almost had to go to the ER (how embarrassing that would have been), even though I drink tons of water and other fluids all day. I will have to check out the Glucomannan though, may be a pudding would be good

[natosha120]

going to try tomorrow.. i was curious if anyone knows if salt, from hot sauce or any type allowed? have crave for wings lol

[Trigger828]

wow yesterday was hard.

I was hungry later in the afternoon. I ate an atkins bar (not meat and eggs)
I ate a atkins frozen meal (and those were only for emergencies--guess I thought this was one lol)

so while that wasn't totally bad, I still want meat and eggs, so today I am gearing just for that.

hmm..I usually have no trouble doing 2-3 days of this but yesterday just wasn't the day.


but today is darn I am going to try my hardest. I need to lose a few lbs that keep hanging on and move the number down in the right direction.


ugh, some days right?

[portcop01]

Finally back down to 159.6
Menu
3 BPC
5oz chicken
3- j- poppers.with cream cheese,bacon

[tina1973]

I did good yesterday. I'm still not giving up my morning smoothie...lol. I'm adding more veggies to it though, today I have cucumber/blueberry. I'm going to experiment and try and get rid of the fruit in it. Other than that, it's just almond milk, protein powder and veg. I had eggs and bacon for lunch and then pork chops and green beans for dinner. So really I didn't do meat/egg fast yesterday. I just feel like i should do vegs when I can.

I'm pretty sure hot sauce is ok. Just drink more water when you have salty food. That's what I do anyway. The meat/egg fast is really YMMV. (Your mileage may vary) Meaning, we all do it differently.

[tina1973]

Also I weighed myself with clothes on so it's not an official weight, but it's down! Since this is my first week back on track, I'm hoping for a 5 pound loss. More would be AWESOME though.

[natosha120]

day 1 after a reduce calorie lean protein fruit diet.

had
bf- 2 egg whites hard boiled, 2 hot wings perdue and diet cola from my soda stream
lunch- 1 bone in pork chop n broth from boiling
---soda stream
dinner- 2 bone in pork chops

felt very low sugar at the store today

i also added potassium salt to my meals to help with excess salt

do love meat and pork at moment

not sure calories tho..hmm ..think 900 at moment
