March's Meat Munchers love Stillmans! - Page 4

Getting there!!! · 03-02-2010, 01:55 AM

HI Brumby!

Glad you joined! Well done on the loss so far!

About the ketostix-I always thought that too-if it was dark purple was it better, if it was only trace, how come?---but I've read loads of times on the board that it's like being pregnant-you're either in ketosis or not, you can't be a little bit pregnant or a little bit in ketosis!!

If you're showing dark purple it prob means you're dehydrated, and if you're just showing trace then you're either drinking a lot or you're doing exercise and so the ketones are being burned off!
As for going bananas on QWL-dunno!!

We've probably kept sane by coming here and venting!! It is def boring (I kind of like that about it tho-no thinking about what to eat) If you find it way to boring, Stillman has another one-Inches off diet-basically no protein, lots of veg, fruit, and whole-grain-It's on the stickies- and he says you can rotae the two untill you reach goal!
Good luck!

Hi Myaluv!

to you too! You'll lose those 8lbs really quickly with QLW-and look smokin for your birthday!
Ye actually have weights on your drivers license??????

Gosh that would be awful!! We don't!!!! You'd have to eat nothing for days before you got it renewed!!

dlyons · 03-02-2010, 02:50 AM

Good Morning!

It's day #2! I just fired up my crockpot so I will have a wonderful piece of chicken when I come home. I opened 3 cans of tuna and strained the juices out and dumped everything into a tupperware bowl.

I just keep telling myself 4 more days until Saturday!

-Dustin

dlyons · 03-02-2010, 04:32 AM

Tuna tastes much fresher if I strain the juices and dump them into the tupperware container. I just finished a small bowl of tuna and they taste much fresher... just like those bags of tuna without water. I just put a couple packets of mustard on top of tuna and everything tastes great!

Too funny Dustin. .I did the same thing this morning. . opened 2 cans of tuna, strained while I was getting ready for work and threw it in my "pink" bowls with some mustard and out the door I went. I'm going to try a tuna/chicken binge to see if it makes a difference. The gosh darn scale was up again this morning. . I'm teeting between 153 and 155 and have been for months! so . .today shall be my new awakening. . I'm giving it one perfect week with exercise. .if I don't start losing . .Well . .I don't exactly know what I'll do. . but I think of something. IN the very least. . I'll let you all know about it. .

That mustard trick works pretty good with both canned tuna and chicken. Never heard of it before i got here so that's pretty useful. Also down another 3#.. yesterday was the hardest for those stupid sweets cravings (my achilles heel) but I MADE IT and there is no greater satisfaction than seeing that scale going down, down down

I am excited to see what the rest of this week brings!

dlyons · 03-02-2010, 05:06 AM

All right, St. Pauli Girl! It's a new day for you!! Boy, IM, you must really like pink!

If you must know, my tupperware bowl comes with a blue lid!

I just had a cup of green tea. When I went shopping to fill my fridge with meats, I bought a box of Celestial authentic green tea. I did not put anything into my tea, just sipped it slowly for about 20 minutes.

How many cups do you guys think I can safely drink green tea? I have read about the benefits of green tea, but I don't want to be drinking too much to undo the benefits!

-Dustin

IM2fat · 03-02-2010, 05:10 AM

Brumby and Myaluv! I'm so excited to see new Avatars on board when I sign in. . Makes my day!!!

Brum: I thought the exact same thing when I started Stillman's. . How on earth can one stay on this diet without going bananas! (((have you read our posts. . do you think we are "normal???" j/k. .

)) Anyway, I don't understand it myself. .but I think you just come to terms with it and decide that it is much better than filling your body full of all the garbage. I was a huge carb-O-holic and never thought I could give them up.. but. . I started feeling better, looking better and had endless energy. I realized it was the nasty carbs bringing me down. Now . .its just become a way of life for me... I am looking forward to eating fruits and veggies again and will probably add some grains. .but I think my days of processed foods are over. I really don't miss 'em. . so much easier to grab a packet of tuna or munch on leftover chicken. It does take some planning. .but almost everything in life does. I always make sure I have boiled eggs, tuna and some other cooked meat on hand. . We grill all year round so I always have chicken or pork handy. . My hubby is doing low carb/no carb as well. He's more of an Atkins guy as he does have veggies and he does eat cheese. . I try not to at this point. .I have to work a little harder than he does at it. .(men. .sheessh

)

Anyway, stick with us. .you will see great results!

IM2fat · 03-02-2010, 05:12 AM

I know it sounds like I have a lot of pink ...but really . .not too much. (I'm lying of course!!) Trust me. .that is the only way I keep my stuff "mine". .My son was whining because he wanted to use my gym bag. . which happens to be pink. . so he took hubby's VD gift instead!! What a turd!!

DL, its convenient when you dont have time to cook chicken breasts, you can keep them with you at work or wherever and it gives a nice change from tuna (although I am a huge fish/seafood lover). I used to eat it plain or with mayo until that wonderful mustard trick

so that makes me REALLY happy.

I love this site, everyone is so friendly and helpful. Super glad I found you guys.

I'm with you on the processed food, Im2--I don't miss it at all! And I can't believe I used to eat that crap.

I intend to add veggies, fruit and wholegrains too! The only thing I really miss is.........you know what it is....don't even want to type it cos it'll give me cravings!!!!

OMG you have canned chicken??? Nope I wouldn't eat it!!!

Getting there!!! · 03-02-2010, 05:44 AM

Dustin, I think you should stick with the tuna-it worked for you before---and why change a winning formula!!!

Getting there!!! · 03-02-2010, 05:46 AM

I eat prepacked cooked chicken pieces---they're really handy for munching on the go!!! I think they have some salt tho!

bdladie · 03-02-2010, 05:51 AM

Good morning everyone!! Sticking to plan and making it happen. Same weight today but I only count what I have Sunday morning so hopefully by then it will be down below 160. I have below 160 by my birthday so this is the week to get it done.

Getting There- I just renewed my license from 4 years ago and the lady said when she went to ask my weight, there is no way you weigh 250. Nope I came to the office just so I could change that and get a new picture! I was happy to get to say my weight for the first time ever.

Dustin- keep up the good work with the tuna, I tried eating tuna recently but the salt in it made my insision swell to bad. What part of Ohio are you in? I worked at Cedar Point in college so I do have a special place for Ohio in my heart.

I did not get my exercise in last night so I will try hard after dr appts today to get enough in for 2 days.

st_pauli_girl · 03-02-2010, 05:56 AM

I dont know what the big deal is about canned chicken, its cooked (just like tuna) packed in water/broth (just like tuna) and its in a can (just like tuna). It makes excellent green chile chicken enchiladas and a fantastic chicken salad. There are some things in this world i would never eat (ezekiel bread, pemmican) so IMHO it's not that bad. It could always be worse.

Getting there!!! · 03-02-2010, 06:01 AM

Hi Tania! You must have felt fantastic!!! .....so you don't actually get weighed then....I'd sooo lie....until a nasty one on the desk would prob go.. No you're way heavier than that!!!!!!!!!!!

You won't be going for dinner at Al's or Paleo's so!!!!!!!!!

bdladie · 03-02-2010, 06:07 AM

No they don't actually weigh you. I think I weighed about 270 when I was there 4 years ago but I figured I would be 250 soon. So yes this is the first time I actually weighed what I said on my license. In 4 years when I need a new one It will be smaller again. My pictured did not even look like me, if I got pulled over I would have went to jail for trying to use someone elses license!

Hmmm, tuna and chicken! Decisions, decisions!

dlyons · 03-02-2010, 06:29 AM

Hey bdladie,

I still can't get over how much you lost!!! I live in south west part of Ohio. It is boring part of Ohio when everything is flat and mostly farm land. But I like my corner because it is close to Hocking Hills so I enjoy the waterfalls and the cliffs!
