CHILI DOG MUSTARD
1/4 cup yellow mustard
4 teaspoons granular Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons low carb ketchup *

Mix all of the ingredients well. I recommend letting it chill overnight in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to blend.

Makes about 14 teaspoons

* I used Heinz One Carb ketchup (now called Heinz Reduced Sugar ketchup).

Em - the only time I have gone off of Stillmans was Thanksgiving and I gained 5lbs from one meal.....just right it off as water!!! Because in about 5 days I lost that extra 5 and about 3 or 4 more! Don't be too hard on yourself....just work on feeling better so you can work on your eating plan the way you want to!

Beth - I know that FF can be tough! I did it but was so deep in ketosis when I started that I didn't notice the hunger as much...water....water....that helped my hunger problems! Stillman's has proven to be more successful for me though!

I like the calories he gives for my height but the weight is low! But that is more than my goal!! I am gonna still shoot for my goal!

Okay - I just survived a killer long trip to Sam's!!! I was kind of hungry but I resisted all the samples!

[msgirl]

Oh yeah - I meant to ask if anyone has gone on a long road trip and been successful with Stillman's? I have a VERY long one coming up and I am kind of nervous...what in the world will I eat without stinking up the car? My hubby likes to just drive through and keep on going so tuna or boiled eggs might make everyone in the car sick!

Any suggestions?

I would just use a cooler and bring your own meats and cheese... (I eat it cold right out of the fridge sometimes so this wouldnt bug me) Change the ice if you have to when hubby gets gas... another thought is canned ham, but sometimes ham can be evil. Anyone else?

Man, getting a job in this town is like having real boobs! What's a girl gotta do to break into Beverly Hills Salons. They look at you like your a piece of ....! This one lady was so insane! She said, well, "I don't have a place for YOU, but if I did, I would want you to do a red head, a true red, not many can do that, a highlight with roots and all over color, make sure you know how to do that, a mens short cut a mens kinda longer cut, oh and 2 bobs, and a cute blonde pikzy cut like Modonna had 12 yrs ago and I will examine them. But, I don't have a place for you now! WT... RRRIIIGGGGGHHHT, lady! Stick it!

Argh!

Hope everyone had a wonderful day!

MS: In a pinch, I've used the Tyson pre-packaged chicken and steak. . It is lightly flavored (Fajita, Grilled, Southwestern) It is diced so it is convenient and I like it hot or cold. . Nice for a change. The other thing you can do, is go to Burger King and order the double cheeseburger (usually on the 1.00 menu) . .if you order and toss the bun. you should be OK.. . Much better than cheating on anything else. KFC also makes a grilled chicken .. which should be OK..

Awesome. . Perhaps that means the Whoosh is working. . I love it!!!! Whoosh. .Whoosh. .Whoossy.. Whosssh. .

I hope we didn't lose Dustin for good. . he was just getting to the fun part!!

AL: I've been doing 2 coconut oils a day. . in addition to all my other goodies!

[IM2fat]

Beth: I'm still crossing my fingers for you. . It'll come. .the best is waiting for you!

[IM2fat]

OK. .so I just got back from a nice dinner out with friends. I DID GREAT! I'm so proud of myself, I'm having myself a rum/coke again (legal on the 14 day, according to Doc I order seasoned Talipia, brocolli and left the seasoned rice on the plate!! I really thought the popcorn binge yesterday would trigger something. . but it didn't. Perhaps I really am learning something about myself . . I must be stronger than I thought!!

2 TB, 2 times? sorry to bug you..

[aleriaaa]

Week 19 results are in. 3 pounds down.

I have been off the Crystal L for 2 days (sounds like a drug) and drank another 6 bottles of H2o yesterday.

and I ate the brisket..

[aleriaaa]

Great job sticking to plan IM2!! Isnt it such a great feeling once you get back home and dont have to go to bed stuffed and asking why did I do that. (That used to be me, for sure)

Beth - I really hope something comes your way soon! BTW: Can I come meet you in B.H, for a true red pixie cut, once I hit goal?? I either want to go real short or real long with extensions...just cant decide..

[dlyons]

Good morning!

I'm still here! I am doing fine. I was so busy at work that it is work, eat and sleep. It's now Saturday and I am doing pretty good on the diet. I can see a difference in my face and my stomach. My 46 pants is getting looser. I am going to try on my old 44 pants and see how well I can fit.

Christmas lights was going up. I went for a short drive last night and I enjoyed the Christmas light display in the city.

Wishing everyone a good weekend!!

-Dustin

[aleriaaa]

I'll be here pretty much here for the day, so I really hope everyone checks in! Missin ya! If not, I have no problem posting to myself. heeehee. Gonna try to add some more from the book today, but there really isnt much else to it after you get the rules down pat. Its just sometimes Stills has a way with words to kick your ash into gear. ( ash.. its gotta go)

[aleriaaa]

Oh Dusty! You came back!!! Woohoo. You're our resident male for the moment so you have got to stay!

I loooove this time of year! Christmas Light drives are the best!

[IM2fat]

Good Morning. .I'm here. I'm here. . Water is the key.. I'm back to where I was Yoohoo to me. . so I feel the Whooshh coming for sure!!

Al: About the coconut oil. .I really only remember to take my supplements in the morning for some reason. . so I grab to capsules then. . along with my multi, magnesium, B12, Flax and whatever else i can find in there. . I feel better so I say. .What the heck!

[IM2fat]

Sending Ya'al.Sparkling Whoosh powers!!

[IM2fat]

Dustin! So glad we didn't lose you. . You are so good. Christmas lights and all.

[Beth Sch]

IM way to resist those temptations. Going out to dinner is such a feat at times. WTG!

Alli! Do me a favor please, will you count calories for a few days. I really think I'm not eating enough food. Till having around 1000 give or take 200 less. You are killing it and always have been. Me too, but I'm not weighing for a while. Maybe if I ate more, Id feel better and would lose more. Brisket is killer fatty meat. Just thinking about the process of eating fat with protein and how it may be better? Dunno...

Well, my size 25 TrueR arn't as tight today. So, I'm still losing, and that makes me happy!

Girls, I need your help! I'm getting seperated! It's been a long time coming and I'm so miserable being married to someone I don't love. It's been so bad for so long. We have no relationship. AND, I don't feel as though I have ANY security with him. He's awonderful father and friend but that's it! Have any of you survived a divorce? I need help! PM me if you don't want to chat on line about it!

[aleriaaa]

Hi Beth. I used ****** to try to calculate the last 3 days.. It was between 791 and 900 for calories. I'll see what the next few days bring since I wont be working. (I tend to eat a little more on my days off) I didnt include coffee and sweet& low but that doesnt have many calories. Prior to the last 2 days, I would have had to add a lot more for the Crystal L .... Im so sorry about the separation.

[aleriaaa]

Hey IM2 - I didnt realize they were capsules you were taking. I have two jars of it gonna wait a little longer till I take the CO plunge!

[aleriaaa]

Beth, what are your menus like? Eating eggs and cheese?

From what Ive been reading it is much better healthwise, to take in the fat with a predominantly protein diet. As far as getting proper nutrients go. If your goal is rapid weight loss, then you have to leave it out. (and take a multi-v)

I have to say, whenever Im not feeling that great or just tired, if I up the fat I feel fantastic.

[msgirl]

Beth - I am so sorry to hear about the separation! What a hard time of year to be going through such emotional trauma.

Dustin - we thought we lost you! It's amazing how much easier Stillmans gets the longer you do it! I bet you have probably lost another 5-7lbs!!!


Al - I will be on and off today....gotta clean out the kids closets My kids accumulate so much junk and I can't stand the clutter! Hopefully the ketosis wil give me the extra energy to get it done!!

IM - I agree - the water is so crucial!

GT - Enjoy your visit with your mom. You are gonna be smoking us with your weight loss when you get back


Now I need to whine....

I have had this sinus head cold for tooooo long now and the headaches are excruciating!!!! Anyone know of any thing I can take during the day to kick it?

[msgirl]

OH yeah - AL Congratulations!!!!! Another 3 lbs!!!!!! You are amazing!!!!


56 pounds in 19 weeks!!!! WOW!!!
