There is one good thing about a [u]small[u] town; teenagers hate living here! They are so bored!

My hometown of Ponca City is up near the Kansas border. Ever heard of it, Denise?

I truely enjoy the peace and quiet but not everyone is cut out for that. And you do have to remember that they roll up the carpet at 5 here and alot of things are closed on Sunday and there isn't too much fast food unless you are running it down yourself and cooking it too!!

Forgot to add that everyone knows you here and knows your kids because they look just like you...and news can get home before you do!! lol

The town I live in has less than 200 people, so if you want fast food, etc., you have to drive 30-35 minutes to Enid. We used to laugh about "going to get a coke", and that is the vending machine at the fire station!

Diana, I grew up in the country and didn't move into town until my senior year of high school. However, I lived in Oklahoma City for almost 25 years, most of which was on the corner of a busy street in a residential area. I know what you mean about the wild teenagers. Our mailbox was "mowed down" several times, our wrought gate was stolen, and just on and on. I don't miss that!

I know! You can't say anything to anyone because they are all related!
If you want to know where someone lives, it's in the old Smith place or where old Herman lived, etc., instead of an address. Just go 4 miles down this road until you come to old so and so's place, then turn right 2 miles, etc. You get the idea!


On a different note, do all of you stay in ketosis? I was on Atkins for 9 months and never got into Ketosis. Now I have been on Stillman's for 5 days, and I still can't get those sticks to turn!! It's very frustrating!

INCREDIBLE MAGICKAL1!!!

You are amazing and so inspiring!! I know I have said it before, but you are great!

Thanks for the info. on the ketostix. I've been checking in the evening because I thought I read that Dr. Atkins said to evening was best.

I was down to 237.5 this morning. I get so bloated and feel so heavy from all of the water that I was surprised! Since April 21st (Monday), I've lost 5.5 lbs. I'll take a pound a day! I hope it keeps up!

Have a great, on-plan weekend, everyone!

wow ladies in KS ... ya know, i was once one of those teenagers that HAD to get out of my small lil town. went to college a few years in the same town, and got fed up with the "everyone knows everything about you" type thing. i packed my stuff and moved to Dallas as fast as i could find a job and an apt... which took a week tops. those towns really have some scary internal issues that i dont think get addressed as much as they should....ie drugs...prostitution etc. its really sad b/c i think the kids feel "stuck" to a certain extent. i go back to my 10 yr reunion this July ... and for once in my life i am super excited about it! oh.... and did i mention, i can't wait to be thinner as well ! haha! funny part of this story (that turned out to be wayyyyy longer than i had hoped, LOL), is once i got married (7 years ago) and had kids (2 to be exact) ... i wanted to raise them in the small town environment that i was raised in. we moved to a small, growing community right outside of Dallas... we love it! better schools, less crime, more of a family type atmosphere... i guess you can leave a small town, but the small town morals will always be a part of you! .....mmmkay, now that i have talked everyones ear off ....

i am down a pound from yesterday soooo i weighed in at 223.4 today ... i am hoping to see the "teens" in the next 2 weeks.

grats Magikal on the 3 pounds ... i'm so jealous!

LaRae~ keep at it gurl!

Cskies~ 6 miles ... holy crap girl...you rock!

mornin' Brownie and Determined to Lose

gotta go get ready to go to a lil kids birthday party this afternoon .... oh joy!

have a great day !

I was going to skip drinking and go to the movies, but one of the men I work with lost his wife and we all got together for him at the local pub. I got in 25 minutes of walking this morning to retreive my car from the pub! I am taking today off... I was on plan for 14 days, down 12.6 pounds now, and will be back on tomorrow with QWL or the Inches Off Diet.

Browniee~ Don’t listen to those demons…. Send them away!!!!

Meekness~ I my scale.

AmyinTexas~ You’ll love the weight loss on this plan! I did Stillman’s QWL for 14 days now, and I’ve lost 12.6 pounds. I did drink heavily on both Fridays. Hope your little one is feeling better.

Onefitgal~ Sounds like DH was a sweetheart, and for losing a pound!

magickal~ on losing! Wow, that is so awesome!

Slatman~ You are fierce on that bike!

Jessie~ How much do you want to lose by your birthday? Will that put you where you want to be?

Kaisergirl~ I hope you win the pot!

Skoolmarm~ QWL is perfect to get you moving past that stall. What grade do you teach?

LaRae, Cskies, Diana~ Why am I singing that song by John Cougar Melloncamp?

HI Everyone!
So glad to hear everyone is doing so so well!!

Welcome to the new ones on board to Stillmans!! You will like the results, thats for sure!!

I went out to lunch yesterday. Its difficult I find when I go out. I ordered a chicken salad with salsa. Now, I worry that the salsa maybe is off plan.? Probably, right? I barely ate the salad as I was satisified with the chicken breast and salsa. Oh well. This is why I hate to eat out cuz its hard to order, ya know???

Today my menu is this'

B=eggs
L-chicken breast
D=fish
s-cottage cheese

I am getting ready to weigh in on monday

Magikal-great job!!! You are lucky!!! But your hard work is paying off!
Hoops-how did you drop so much ? Even though you drank? WOW!!


Have a great night all. I am ready to unwind. Its been all work today and no play!

If I was to have an alcoholic beverage-would LC lite beer be the best choice?? I don't plan on it becoming a habit but since I have been doing Stillmans for one month I might indulge? Whats best, beer or wine or like vodka?? Anyone???

Thanks!

WOE: less is more ;)
i think ive introduced myself before.. & i was gonna start.. but then the temptations of donuts & cookies & brownies & fudge & loaded mayo sandwiches at work...... got the best of me, i guess.
incase i didnt mention it, last time i was on stillmans.. i lost about 9 pounds in the first week. i had AMAZING results.
why i ever went off of it? i have no idea.
but then today when i was clothes shopping.. i just realized.. is my health REALLY worth that junk? i almost had a break down.. & then i realized - all i can do about it is CHANGE it.
time to get back on track. starting NOW.
i think im finallllllly ready!
ILL PROVE IT.

MsLiz~ You definitely can do it! Those sweets at the office will always be around, and you just need to avoid them.

Diana~ You did well at the celebration!

Windy~ It is hard with choices eating out. The hard alcohol is the best bet, but your best choice is the one you like the best.
