MeganStarr · 10-10-2006, 04:47 AM

Good morning! I know, it's been a few days, but life got way too busy to even think straight. Blah! I was at my lowest ever over the weekend! Now, up a few pounds, but no worries!

Everyone is doing wonderful! You all inspire me so much to keep going, which is what I need right now!

Thank you!!!!!

Today's menu will be
Chicken, FF cottage cheese, hb eggs, and steak

I will check back in tonight after karate! Have an awesome day!!

Melly · 10-10-2006, 04:58 AM

What a bunch of LOSERS!!!!!

Don't forget girls......if we are eating on target and exercising and not losing on the scales then the inches are melting away....we NEVER lose pounds and inches at the same time!!!

OK Michele.....you have warned us twice......if you don't mind sharing I would like to know what your experience was with the colon clense

Sorry I am in a hurry this morning girls but I have to prepare my food for the day and I am sitting here in a towel with wet hair

I had a great workout this morning and am ready to meet the day and whatever it brings.....have I told you guys latel,y how much I love you all?

Have a great day and remember........stay true to yourself

AsmallerME · 10-10-2006, 05:09 AM

Good morning everyone. I am entering the realms of deep ketosis. I feel horrible. Ugh. I know it will pass in another day or two but the flu-like symptoms are rough. And my breath is getting really stinky. YUCK!!

Hoops - I lost 20 pounds and 2 dress sizes in less than 3 weeks. I stopped eating LC all together after that point and binged on everything and needless to say gained everything back plus more. I have no clue how much I would have continued to lose.

Everyone have a great day!

I just have to keep telling myself this Melly, as I've been at the same dang weight for the 3rd day now.........

I know I'm losing inches, I just won't measure again until Sunday then I'll feel better about the scale not moving.

Yesterday I ate about 1253 calories where I have been hovering around 950, maybe the increased exercise is making me hungrier. Don't know but the weight didn't go up so that's a good thing.

DH and DD came home with a huge bag of Arby's roast beef sandwich's last night around 9pm, Dh tried to talk me into eating just the roast beef, glad I didn't (too salty) cause I'd have been up on the scales and would have been ticked off at myself and probably Dh........

Back later to post a menu and personals.........later!!!

Melly · 10-10-2006, 07:22 AM

Amber stinky breath is a good thing

Karen you are doing so well and I am positive that you are melting away the inches.....just smile and know that when you measure you are going to be pleasantly surprised

Hoops · 10-10-2006, 07:23 AM

Just a quick pop in here.... I need to leave for work. I just needed to post to keep my behind on track.

I'll post more later when I return home from work.

crohnie... what can it hurt.>>> http://www.aloeelite.com/index.shtml

I did a search on Crons Disease and I found this.

I am always looking for an alternative to perscribed drugs.

Crohnie · 10-10-2006, 07:53 AM

It is not my experience. I have had Crohns Disease for 20 years. My GI reminds me constantly about all these people doing colon cleanses. They get rid of bad bacteria and good bacteria. YOu need the good

He says he usually starts seeing people with colon problems after they start doing there cleanses. The body never adjusts back
You can do what you want but why bring on more unnecessary problems with your colon. Ulcerative Colitis is on the rise

Thanks Doit. I have tried Aloe many years ago. I dd not have much luck

Melly · 10-10-2006, 08:19 AM

Michele thanks for your input.....I am asking because I do not know.....I have never done anything like that before. I have been researching it and what I have read does say that as you are going thru the process there are suppliments that you MUST take to replace the good bacteria because the clenses DO remove good bacteria as well as the bad.......still not sure if this is something I want to do but I am researching it thoroughly before I decide to do anything......I will probably talk to my doctor about it as well.

Thanks again

Melly · 10-10-2006, 08:27 AM

OK girls I am excited and have to chare this with you guys......Saturday our big screen bit the dust and we went to buy a new one on 90 days same as cash. I put a big chunk down and plan to have it paid off in the 90 days. The total cost is $2600.

Well last night I am looking thru my paperwork and the salesgirl had included a sales flyer that had the EXACT same tv on sale for $1999

So I called and she tried to tell me that the flyer was for last month and was expired......funny thing is that there is not a date on it and I called her on it. She put me on hold several times and neer could tell me where the expiration on the flyer was and finally asked me to call back today when the manager was in.

So I called this morning and asked for the manager and the same girl answered and asked who was calling and I told her who I was and she put me on hold FOREVER!!!!! She came back on the phone and told me he would be right with me. I had my guns loaded and was ready to go

She finally came back on and told me that I could come back in and redo my paperwork for the sales price!!!! I just saved $600 WOOOO HOOOO

Crohnie · 10-10-2006, 09:03 AM

~~ Halloween Hotties ~~~~

Day 79 ~~~ 165.5 Got that 1/2 a lb back down. No more bread for me for a while. We are going to the Mt Washington Hotel on Thursday for 4 days. I am going to try hard to stay good. They have alot of good restaurants
It may ending up being more low carb than Stillmans. I will try my best

10 Large Shrmip cocktail
SF Jello
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/2 sirloin steak
water~ 100 oz
Green Tea 3 cups

HappyFace · 10-10-2006, 10:12 AM

Hi Hotties,

I'm hanging in there, I decided that I was only going to weigh myself once or twice a week. I get real upset with myself when I don't see a change.
Melly, thanks for reminding us of losing those inches on days we don't see on the scale.

b- eggs
l- turkey patties
s-cottage cheese blended with jello yummy!!!
d-maybe chicken ???

livvi

Jennifer · 10-10-2006, 11:26 AM

Scale was the same this morning, but that's cool. Can't cry over 17 lbs in 7 days. I haven't eaten anything in the past 2 days. Just not hungry. Does anyone else go for days without eating?

Melly -That's great! Who doesn't love a bargain?

Amber -My breath is nasty! I can barely stand myself.

SusieQ12 · 10-10-2006, 12:04 PM

Good afternoon ladies! I finally have time to check in. Work has been crazy!

I am happy to report that I have lost 10 lbs in about 2 1/2 weeks.

I am very pleased with that. I can already feel my pants getting a little looser. Woo Hoo!

I also went to amazon and ordered both books. I can't wait for them to come in!

Hope everyone is having a great day. I have to get back to work now. Oh, Jennifer and Amber, I hear ya about the breath. Mine is just nasty! I try not to get too close to anyone when I am talking to them.

Keep up the good work everyone!!!!

Melly · 10-10-2006, 01:52 PM

OMG I have pee'd like 23478562734659782346587 times today

GApeach23 · 10-10-2006, 01:56 PM

Good Afternoon Ladies.........

Well for exercise today I walked around the block.........1.5 miles in 27 minutes with some hills.........my freakin heartrate hit 181 the second time I pulled the big hill. I need to find my formula for getting my maxium heartrate, I'm sure I was past that today. Most of the time it stayed in the 150's which may be 80%, but like I say I need to find my formula for figuring this out. I wear a pretty expensive heart monitor strap and watch so I'm sure it's accurate. Tomorrow it is back on the Gazelle.

I also got in some upper body weight training.......boy I miss the gym.

Just to shake things up and add some different flavor I added 2 tbsp of tuna to my boiled eggs..............YUMMY!!!!!!

Hope to see a lower number on the scale tomorrow, I feel it is time for a whoosh for sure.

ButterflyA · 10-10-2006, 01:57 PM

Did my LBWO today and I HURT all over (how can my upper arms hurt when I did lower body today? lol) but I LOVE it!

I think Melly is rubbing off on me!

Cals today about 1000-1100 and 20ish carbs, so still on track food-wise and I'm doing killer workouts, so I'm not weighing (I'm following Body for Life, which is HARD workouts 6 days a week, rotating workout schedules). I KNOW the scale will be up from water/muscle expansion and my fragile ego can't handle it lol

Other than a half cup strawberries today (needed for AM workout) I'm pretty much on a higher cal Stillman's and feel good... I may need to tweak it later, but right now I'm not seeing workouts suffering, so if it ain't broke, don't fix it

Have a good day everyone!

Life is good sometimes!

Yep that just goes to show that you were way too low on the water intake, as if you didn't already know........

I'm on the 128th ounce, which is about 32 ounce more than I've been getting lately.

But I understand you can't get in as much because the bathroom is across the street.

I've done BFL and LOVE IT!!!! I didn't follow Bill's diet though, remained low carb. Whenever I can afford the gym again I'm going to start BFL again, I just don't get as much out of the program at home.

tita2005 · 10-10-2006, 02:32 PM

I need some motivation and you ladies are doing great!!!

I'm going grocery shopping tonight and starting with you tomorrow, Wed, October 11!!!!! I'm going to make goal this time and then go on maintenance. I lose about 11 pounds then gain it back. This time has to be different@!!!!

Wish me luck!!!

GApeach23 · 10-10-2006, 02:41 PM

Theresa!!!

You'll love it here everyone is very nice and supportive.

AsmallerME · 10-10-2006, 03:17 PM

Hey everyone! Day 2 is done for me eating-wise.

B: nothing
L: 1 small chicken breast (noon)
D: 1 small chicken breast (4:30pm)

S: lots of water!

Jennifer - 17 pounds in a week?? That's fantastic! Can you see a difference already in how your clothes are fiting? I've never gone a whole day without eating when doing LC but I have intentionally done a water fast for 5 days before.

Theresa -

I just started Stillmans yesterday so you can be a newbie to this with me.

Okay, here's my question to everyone. Do any of you drink green tea, regular tea, coffee, diet coke, etc? Do you think they decrease the rate at which you lose? I'm really thirsty and not hungry and for some reason want something other than water. I'm thinking I may brew a pitcher of unsweet tea to sip on as my treat.

AsmallerME · 10-10-2006, 03:24 PM

Okay, I dug in my closet and pulled out a pair of size 22w pants that I'm ready to wear. I can't wait to drop a size. I put them at the very front of my closet and I plan to wear them next Friday the 20th at the very latest. Right now they are a good inch from comfortably closing. I plan to report next week while wearing them.

B: nothing L: 1 small chicken breast (noon) D: 1 small chicken breast (4:30pm) S: lots of water! Jennifer - 17 pounds in a week?? That's fantastic! Can you see a difference already in how your clothes are fiting? I've never gone a whole day without eating when doing LC but I have intentionally done a water fast for 5 days before. Theresa - I just started Stillmans yesterday so you can be a newbie to this with me. Okay, here's my question to everyone. Do any of you drink green tea, regular tea, coffee, diet coke, etc? Do you think they decrease the rate at which you lose? I'm really thirsty and not hungry and for some reason want something other than water. I'm thinking I may brew a pitcher of unsweet tea to sip on as my treat. __________________ Amber

I can't wait to drop a size. I put them at the very front of my closet and I plan to wear them next Friday the 20th at the very latest. Right now they are a good inch from comfortably closing. I plan to report next week while wearing them.
