[lindaokc]

HI Diana and
Glad you could join us. You can look back through the posts and find out what our menus look like. We try to post them every day.....of course, if I'm having a bad day, I don't post it all
Congrats on your losses so far. KUTGW !!

[Determinedtolose]

Thanks Linda! I will take a look at them.

[cskies]

Linda, I have no doubt you will get to 155 before you start on your trip, where ever that might be. I really appreciate the encouragement you have given me on my weightloss journey. I don't know if I am just feeling bi***y today or what but I don't like what I have been reading about stillman's on other threads...and that is ok...I can think what I want and so can anyone else. But I won't posting my menu's anymore...if fact I don't think I will be posting at all. Best of Luck!!

[lindaokc]

Gosh, Denise, I don't know what threads you are talking about.....
I don't care what others think of Stillmans. We all do the best we can in this life. I'm so sorry if somebody has upset you, and hope you will change your mind and come back. If not, I certainly understand....some people can be hurtful. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me.

cskies,
Discussing weight management is like talking religion... people are going to be all over the place on what is right and wrong for you.. only you know what is best for you.. your doctor probably won't even be on your side...

Our bodies will tell us if we are doing something good for it or not.. do you feel like crap? are you full of energy? Are you hungry when you go to bed? do you feel like you are depriving yourself of anything?

Stillman's is lumped together with other m/e plans that are calorie restricted plans which are very dangerous and nobody should consider.. if your hair is falling out and your metabolism has gone to hell gee maybe there's a problem..

leaving is not an option.. get your butt back in here!

[Determinedtolose]

How come everyone's menu looks skimpy compared to mine!

I'm feeling full and satisfied and I'm losing. I guess that's the main thing right!

Exactly...

your hunger will decrease after being cheat free on plan.. the 5-6 small meals you are doing is the way to go..

Just watch the sodium & nitrates in the processed meats and many have trouble controlling the intake quantity of cottage cheese.. looks like your measuring well done..

Well, I just wanted to make sure I was getting the right amount of servings.

[lindaokc]

Scale was stable this morning, and today is a new day

Denise, don't know if you are reading this or not, but come back and join us. We need each other to go down this road.

B
2 eggs

L
chicken/cabbage soup

S
fish fillet or legal pizza on lc tortilla

NO SNACKS !!

[DEBI IN OHIO]

Welcome Diana....congrats...

ive been doing mostly M & E for 6 days and have only lost 3.5 pounds and I was HIGH carb 7 days ago...

When the scale doesnt drop for me, thats when I fall off the wagon...I am trying not to do that this time, but Im really upset and depressed after seeing the scale this am.

I have had almost no appetite in days (its 12:15 and I havent even wanted food yet today, dinner last night at 430p), 6 days without any diet pop..and a migraine for 2 days

[lindaokc]

Totally changed my menu for today. I had boiled shrimp for lunch and having pizza on lc tortilla for supper.

Made it to the gym, did 20 min. of upper body resistance training, 5 min. on elliptical and 30 min. on treadmill. I wanted to go for 40, but I was whipped. Even ran some on the treadmill (but only for 1.5 min. at a time) & got heart rate up to 145, which is HUGE for me.

Right now, pizza is in the oven and I"m STARVING!!
How's everybody else doing?

[lindaokc]

Debi, does your weight loss stop when you quit eating? It sounds like you aren't eating very much. Am I mistaken?

Thanks slatman...i needed that! And thanks Linda..you are a real special person!

I will get back to posting...didn't mean to be dramatic...that is not my style...so sorry!!

Didn't check my weight today but I did get 4 miles on the treadmill before my leg started to hurt!! Progress!! Eating on plan too so no harm done!!

Hope everyone is doing great today and hello to all the new ones that are doing Stillman's to aid their weight loss journey!

[DEBI IN OHIO]

Linda, correct I am not eating much, but from reading the boards, it seems many arent eating much.

I thought today was thursday, so actually today was day #6, so i wont weigh until Friday when its actually a week.

[Determinedtolose]

Hi All!

I did pretty good, but got a little hungry after lunch.

My menu

B-3 eggs with beef chorizo
S-2 hb eggs
L-2 hamburger patties with cheese
S-2 Atkins bar , I don't know why I had a craving for them. Female problem
D-7 small ground turkey meatballs, 1/4 c cottage cheese

Huh??
You aren't talking about me, Debi.
I don't post the amounts I eat, but I eat healthy amounts, believe me. My fish fillet was between 6 & 7 oz. for supper yesterday. For lunch today I ate approx. 8 oz. boiled shrimp. Those are not small amounts.

If your body is stopping the weight loss, maybe it's not getting enough? Not telling you how much to eat, just wondering.....you would know better than I would. Just hope you start losing again. Don't want you to be discouraged. Glad you have another day before weigh in. Good luck. We will be waiting to hear what you did.

Sooo glad you're back. Take it easy w/ that leg/ankle. Glad you are still on plan also.

Don't blame you for the drama

Keep it up.

Thanks Linda!

I don't know what it is about the atkins bars either but I actually liked the last one I ate so I am trying to stay away from them because I know I could eat more than one!!

DEBI IN OHIO
Can I ask why you are off the diet pop? Stillman's let's you drink it!! If I didn't have my diet mt.dew I would get really crabby!! just saying?!! Hope you are feeling better!!

[Determinedtolose]

Good Morning All!

Thanks Linda and Cskies for the encouragement!

I definately will try not to eat Atkins bars like that again. I guess I didn't have enough for lunch, among other hormonal cravings! And about an hour after I ate them, I felt bloated! So I had to drink tons of water. I'm not weighing myself today, because I feel that I haven't lost since weighing on Tuesday. I just wait until Friday.

Talk to you all later!
