By the way, Peeps. .i tried the vinegar on my chicken one night.. MMMmm . .it was really good for a nice change. .haven't tried it on tuna yet. . .still scared. . .

I was so sick of baked chicken that I followed Al's advice and grilled it. After soaking in a spa of red wine vinegar and italian spices overnight they were excellent! Just like italian dressing marinade but so much cheaper and homemade!

Yeah she has some really great recipes. The Mex Spinach Lasagna was a staple for me on LC...I ate too much which is why I stalled.

I'm okay with going up on the Atkins part of the cycle just as long as it goes down again on Stillman's.

I'm thinking instead of taking next week to do the Meditteranean part of the cycle, I would do QWL from Monday - Wednesday, and then have a not-too-decadent splurge for my birthday, maybe it would balance out? My family doesn't cook, so...maybe I'll just stay on track after all.

I am very interested in your results! Good luck!

I need to not look at it as "strict" or "deprivation" but "simple" and "effective"! I am stocked up on: tuna, eggs, cottage cheese, chicken breasts; I also bought some skirt steak to tenderize in a marinade, and planning on buying some salmon and cedar planks. I CAN DO IT!!!!!

Right?

Salamander...you've stocked up on all the right items...

I just joined yesterday....so far so good. I am not hungry and I did manage to lose 3 pounds! So YAY!

Wow we are a chatty bunch. I posted mid-morning and I had to catch up reading 3 pages! WOW!!

Well I checked the scale a few minutes ago and I show a 3 pound loss which is cool, because it wasn't first thing in the morning, my tummy is full, and I have clothes on...maybe tomorrow more weight will be gone! YAY!

I know some ppl mentioned walden farms what products have you tried and what's your opinion of it? Would you recommend it?

[GwnStfni]

Smallerizing, I cycle off Stillman's and do low carb with high fat days. I always gain... Usually 2-3lbs, this last go, it was 5lbs and I DON'T eat veggies. You can see by my signature which two weeks I did high fat, there was almost no loss or there was a gain. I have taken those 5lbs off quickly and extra weight along with it. I think it's a good idea... I'm starting to do more and more days between my high fat days, now that I'm in the swing of things with Stillman's... It gets easier with time.

Poll:

Oh AL you really didn't want me to answer did you?

Favorite way to eat chicken? marinated and grilled
Favorite way to eat tuna? with wasabi and pickled ginger
Favorite way to eat lean ground beef? plain burger w/low sugar catsup and thinly slices homemade low salt garlic dill pickles
or
cooked and drained with som BAM! Emeril cajun seasoning and hot sauce
Favorite way to eat pork? stir fry with garlic powder, bit of Splenda and low salt soy sauce or just grilled with BAM; place chops in a strong resealeable bag with some bourbon, garlic, splenda, cumin. Leave overnight then grill.
Favorite way to eat eggs? no favorite just show me a forkbut I do like 'em with fresh snipped chives from the garden scrambled
hint for you city gals, if you have fresh chives or scallios with the root still on, eat the tops then stick them in a glass with some water and put in a sunny window-they will start to grow. Change the water weekly and snip off what you need, pot them when the roots get long.
Favorite way to eat steak? Rub with BAM and grill
Favorite way to eat cottage cheese? plain. I love it.
For you gals that can't stomach it:
drain in a strainer to get most of the liquid out. It makes wonderful faux ricotta, just toss in the blender. After draining and blending:
Add green onion, garlic powder and celery seed for a great ranch dip. Spread roast beef slices with the dip and roll 'em for an appetizer worthy of a party.
Add cocoa powder and splenda for chocolate mousse.
Add lemon juice or extract and Splenda for lemon pudding.
Add to cooked ground beef with seasonings of your choice and a cheat tbsp of salsa for a creamy taco filling style dish.
Add Splenda, tomato paste (tbsp) red wine vinegar and capers for a mock Picadillo (Cuban ground beef)
Add LC BBQ sauce for manwich filling, great for kids only you have to know and no bun for you

I could go on and on.
And don't be afraid of Linda's recipes, just make substitutions! Virtually anything can be made with less fat.

I catered my Dad's wedding reception for 75 people myself. I left for CT on a Friday with all the groceries and started cooking. The food was less than 200.00 and that included the caterer style foil chafing dishes and fuel to keep it all warm.
I am Emeril in drag.
I grew up in Miami, my grandparents were from Texas and Louisiana. Whole lotta food heritage goin' on.Yes I am Emeril in drag

Okay guys... done eating for the day. Menu is:
B: 1 HB egg, Coffee
L: 8ozs grilled chicken w/ hot sauce
Iced Coffee
D: A big bowl of chicken soup (probably 6ozs of shredded chicken in it)
S: SF Jello cup
Got my gallon of water in and calories are about 860

I'm sorry I didn't get to post much today... Work was busy. I did however get to catch up on all the reading!

I just finished doing laundry and realized that one of the benefits of losing weight is that I put most of my laundry in the dryer.... Weeks ago, there would have been several pieces of clothing that I would have hang dried for fear of them shrinking even a tiny bit and not fitting properly! Now that things are getting baggy, I *want* them to shrink! Ha. Have a great night everyone!

[GwnStfni]

Aghhhhh!! Flyers just won!!! They're going for the Stanley Cup. The last time we won the Stanley Cup was in 1975. And this 7 game series against Boston, It was 3-0 but we managed to win the last 4 games!! What a come back!! Ha, sorry.... Not that into sports but I think every car in the city is honking like crazy right now. It's like when the Phillies won the World Series

This is how it seems to work, but I've been through so many weight loss dissappointmens, I'm not holding my breath! I'm glad you said it gets easier. I'm such a food addict that by the end of the third day I'm dying for fat!

This was definitely me! I've been on Stillman's for 2 months now and I think my last go, I went 10 or 11 days before I had a high fat day. This time I am shooting for 21 days and I am on day 8 right now and I feel great so far. But when I started, I think I only went 3 or 4 days before I had fat... Then 7 days, then 10... I guess my body is just getting used to it now and don't worry, the extra weight just practically jumps off and you go right back to losing, as long as you eat by the book. Just make sure you let us know how it's going!

Seriously? Tuna with all that at once? Is it like BBQ? I'm curious sinc I got sick of tuna a long time ago...

[smallerizing]

Gwn, thanks for the encouragement! And I see you are at about 50 lbs lost, so I know you must know what you are talking about! I haven't felt this positive about losing for years. It really helps when you want that donut, but you eat a stupid boiled egg! Guuurlll, you are so funny -- putting clothes in the dryer now to shrink them!

IM2 -- you inspired me to go to the thrift store today, and I got some jeans that fit, 2 pretty shirts, and 2 pairs of pants. One is really tight, and I'll use it on those days when I know I'll be tempted. Of course the baggy pants help keep me motivated because I can see I'm finally losing, at least for now. Still not holding my breath, but feeling a lot more confident!

[Getting there!!!]

No I haven't!!!!!!!!
