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!

Congrats power, biggest loss of the day.
I'm back in onederland.

Hi everyone. A bit of a Newbie here.

I started about a week and a half ago at 167.

Week One: 7lbs

Week 2: (So far since Sunday) 2lbs

I am thrilled I finally hit 158. I have not weighed that in many moons, people!

My BF is coming home from a trip so I am worried about falling off the wagon. No more Cheesecake Factory runs for me!

WOO HOO Must be from running from the men in the white labs coats

[swebb]

Today the scale was the same Still showing the 4 pound gain from the weekend.

Unless there is a big drop in the next couple of days I will have to call the higher fat/ higher calories a failed experiment for me.

[IM2fat]

yep.. I needed a kitty pick me up! (Stupid TOM paid me a visit .. half expected/half not). .This kitty looks a little more happy than exercising Kitty, anyway! I'm eating my tuna and 1/2 cup tomatoes. I think since I've added 2 veggies to my day. .it's keeping me more sane, which = less insane!!

I think I shall weigh less
I pray I will weigh less
I must weigh less
I want to be weigh-T less!!!

Crap.. I have to go back to work now.. Why does that keep getting in the way of my other life? Dang-it anyway.

It's a legit question I was actually at the Delaware shore, which is just a ferry ride over to New Jersey and close to the beaches of Maryland.

[GwnStfni]

Okay, back on the wagon today. Just gotta put it out there, the scale read 186.8 this morning. My body is a sponge, seriously. That's a redonk gain. I know it's partly TOM though, because my boobs are back up a whole size, gosh they're sore. Still very bloated and I did eat plenty of lunch meats the last few days. Okay... Goal is to have this gain gone by Sunday so I can see some new numbers early next week! I will do my 12 mile bike ride tonight too!! Last night I felt so stuffed and bloated and uncomfortable and it was a good reminder of what I hate about eating certain foods, that they make me feel that way! Who wants to feel that way? I don't! Over it. Had half a boiled egg this morning, didn't really taste good So I'll just wait another hour then have some grilled chicken!

to all the new people on board this month. Always happy to have new folks around here!!

I thought you're on Stillman ??? Why having some fat here ???
When i was on Atkins, 3 first days of pure atkins, i counted i eat more than 3000kcal !!! mostly butter and mayo and i lost 2pound per day. God! Then it stopped there...
On my 6th day, i ate less fat... i was so sicking of it, duh! The next day, i jumped on scale, 4 pounds has gone ! Totally a MAGIC!

Honestly, Gwn. .everything I have read on No carb/Lo Carb diets have said. . dieter beware. . the gain (when you induldge in carbs) is a lot higher in the very beginning because your body gets used to tons of water with nothing to absorb . and other scientific stuff like that. They all say. . do not fret. .it will come back off and you will stabilize. .. I think thats why maintenance is such a difficult thing for a lot of people. . they see the initial gain and panic.. Look what Al did and Look how fast she lost. You have such self control, you'll be back in the game in no time. .Like probably one day. .

[IM2fat]

Gwn: I wanted to add. .we must be on the same stupid cycle.. I'm bloated and sore, too. . here I thought it was just due to all my exercise.. but Naw.. just being a stupid girl, is all..

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?

Hi there. People have noticed yes...my face is less puffy and my tummy is no longer bloated. I have also noticed my trousers are definitely looser...not loose but looser. I will post a pic of hair later. It is dead straight at the mo and I have to try and keep it that way for 3 days so that the keratin sets properly in the hair follicle. It's separating a fair bit...almost as if I have put a little oil in it. I think the test will be when I wash it. It certainly feels different but looks pretty much like when I normally have it washed and blow dried. My daughter however insists it looks different. She says it looks more like European hair.

<----------- doesn't Kitty look like she's getting ready to dive into a big huge meal. . like a giant steak followed by a side O Chicken? MMmmmmmmmmm See. I'm dreaming about red meat, too.. I've been really careful about not eating any and I so miss ground beef right now.. That will be my treat when I get below 155. OK. .you have my word.. no ground beef, only chicken, fish and lean, lean. pork. . . did I already do that promise. .(and did you take note how my goals keep getting easier and easier??) Ahh. that's OK. .we start over every month, right?? Can I get a heck. yea!! .

June is new and refreshing.. I actually have until next month (July 8 ) and that will be my year anniversary. .how pathetic. .my weight loss sucks! Go ahead.. say it. . it is ridiculous.. especially when you take into consideration the "No bread. .no pizza.. no real fruit (except those dang jumping strawberries). . No potatoes.. no fries.. No chips . . barely any popcorn (yes. . I did fall off the wagon a few times on that one. . I'm not gonna lie).. I guess I gotta cut the spirits, too.. Darn it.. why does life and oldness get so difficult. . new meds, more exercise, no sweets. skipping meals.. aching muscles. .

Thank you for letting me rant. . I'm OK now and still trying to get back to work. . distractions. .distractions. .

I'm picturing those tuna crawling around on the bottom of the ocean with their four legs, and the chickens using their wings to help them walk..... Not to mention Humpty Dumpty... But your point is WELL taken!! June IS the month for losers!! Thanks for the motivation, AND the laugh!
