My face looks all bloated and i feel horrible!!! My fault for jumping off the meat wagon! LOL well we have horrible storms going on here so i will let u all go! have a good night!

Oh, doughnuts are the WORST! They are sooooo yummy but have absolutely NO redeeming value in terms of nutrition! I will personally block any attempts by dougnuts to attack you tomorrow morning. Got to get you that tummy tuck!!!! (me too I wish...)

[Suri]

Im in too !
I've done stillman for 2 days, lost 2 pounds ! Feel really good now.
CW: 121
My goal: 10 pounds until 14 June... It's a magic !

Hello everyone. Checking in for June. A friend came over yesterday and, well lets just say I really blew it. Jumped on the fit board this morning and my weight is exactly the same as it was yesterday so thankfully I did not gain anything which quite frankly I find amazing. I want to get at least two cheat free weeks in front of me, so that is where I am at the moment...I'm up for the 10lb challenge.

Today I had an omelet with spinach and mushrooms for lunch.

For those experienced how many do not eat any veggies during the first 2 weeks?

I don't know if I can go beyond 14 days, but I will at least commit to the two weeks.

Hi Molly! Welcome! Congrats on the loss so far. I don't eat veggies on Stillman's (QWL) but I reckon you can keep them for a while if you're still losing -and you will be by cutting out the fat!

Will say, I had a slice of bread yesterday and today and a few roasted potatoes today. Other than that, I have stuck w/ Atkins induction levels and going back on Stillman's tomorrow. I am crazy bloated though and I think TOM is right around the corner, so I would not be surprised if I am up like 10lbs tomorrow!! Eek. Kinda scared to get on the scale but meh... I'm just gonna keep on keeping on.

So... Setting some goals for this month and that is, I would like to weigh 162 by the end of June. so that's 15lbs, plus the weight I just gained, getting that off. Hoping I can reach this goal!

Be back in full force tomorrow, missed you all!!

Hi Gwn!! Always a good vavcation when you feel you need one to get over it!! He!!......nobody laugh at me is that the shore--as in Jersey Shore--MTV?? ...(if it is)oh I bet ya had a great time so!!!!

I remember seeing something on TV about the mirrors in changing rooms...there is a difference and they use flattering lighting...well flattering for some anyway.

It's working. I weighed in yesterday at 244. This morning I was 241 1/4. Wow! 3 1/4 pounds. Height 5' 7 1/2" (I'm 3 1/4 pounds closer to my goal.)

Today will be lotsa water. Black coffee/tea and lean meat/tuna.

I sure get a lot of motivation from this thread.

Hope everyone has a great day!

No food network. No TV!!!! Well, there is one in the house but I never watch it. I love cooking programmes but it really derails my whole attitude. I just feel soooo deprived!!!!!!

[nermo]

hey!

ok these darn cucumbers I don't know what i started but today I had 2 cucumbers- what the ........? I really was hungry and again that "crunch" thing!

Anyway I hope I didn't do too much damage!

Suri Molly Bloom Powerless ! So happy to have you! You will love it here! The best bunch you will ever find!

Gwn - welcome back girlie- missed u lots!

Al- don't even get me started on Fashion Bug- ughhhhh the polyester!!! hehehe
I love the food network- Gt Rachel Ray is THEEE best- yummy food in 30 mins. and she did a whole show about low carbs!!!! yummmmmmmm!

[kamills]

Hi GWN, sounds like you had a lovely decadent time at the shore. Lucky you!

Lisa, don't worry about the doughnuts. You'll lose that weight in no time. Do you lose better when only sticking to tuna? Or do you just do it for its easiness?

Makeme, I'm seriously envious of your metabolism. I gain if I even look at non-Stillman's food. You'll have to post a pic when you get your hair done! Did your friend notice any weight change?

GT, 1950s was much better. Waisted things, curvy women, and red lipstick to make your teeth look whiter!

Everyone else, glad to see some new "faces" in here. I know we'll all have a really successful month. I can feel it in my bones, even if those are buried really really deep under a load of fat.

Diet wise I'm doing great. I got the IUD / coil (not sure what you call it where!) put in this morning, and I feel horrible. I nearly vomited. Last time they put it in, I actually did vomit, so at least that's an improvement. Going to be taking lots of pain killers today. Do they have carbs?

[Mim]

Good morning! I was on plan yesterday, even with eating out for lunch! I've got to fix breakfast for my granddaughters and boil some eggs. This is going to be a great day!

GT- I bet it's nice not having to buy any more print shirts- you know the ones they make for us so they can attract more attention and having people notice us even more! LOL why do they do that?????

O my, Nermo. . I was just thinking the same thing (about print shirts). . They must think chunky people are always happy and enjoy looking like clowns!! Sad.. . I actually bought 4 solid colored T's this weekend . I never realized how many prints I had until I tried to mix/match a few items. . That hideous rose blouse is history. . .

Yay!! Change that username!!

OK. .So I thought I could jump on really quickly and catch up. No such luck. .You guys are wonderful. . .so forgive me if I can't answer everything. and trust me . I have a lot to say. . but I do have to get some work done today. . Anyway, yesterday was extremely busy. .worked a full day at work and then had to be at the ball field at 5:00 to serve up hotdogs. . We served over 850 and guess who was in charge of that venture? You guessed it. . so needless to say. .I did end up eating a hotdog and later a braut. I was hungry as I hadn't eaten since lunch and that involved minimal amounts of tuna. So . I think I did OK. . but after the almond fiasco and the hotdogs. . it's no wonder my weight is the same ..I guess it is better than a gain. (I did log over 10,000 steps on my pedometer, though . . ) . I have to say. .that little device is a great motivator. .Makes me wanna log more and more steps in every day. The one I have keeps a few days in memory, too. .

Anywho, I just wanted to comment and say one more thing (ok a few more. . .I've never been one of the quiet ones.)

JUNE IS THE MONTH FOR LOSERS. We all need to get serious and we all need to quit with the little cheats. . We know what it does and we know that it causes more cheats. Do not lick, taste or bite anything that does not have four legs... drink water every single time you think about food (which, for me, never gets me out of the bathroom). . Walk 10 paces whenever you do go to the bathroom and hugs your loved ones. gotta love those endorphines. . WE ARE SERIOUS AND WE GONNA DROP IT LIKE IT'S HOT!! Lets show that fat who's boss! Who will be our first 10 pounds loser! Lets do it quickly so we can get on with our fabulous skinny selves. .

Oh I love her! She seems so down to earth too! Nermo there are I think about 6 carbs max in a full cuke and hardly any cals!! And they're full of water--so as long as they don't lead to anything else they won't derail you at all!!!
