No Lie. . Stillman's Losers will shrink in July

It is so hot here that there is no cold tap water. It is warm. I've been freezing some cl in my drink bottles and adding water as I drink it. In this weather it is not hard to get my water in!

[CCGirl]

glad you like them, gals...no driving and use the sugar free mixer!

Mim, I get that way all the time, I think I want to eat and then don't. I love it.

IM, my dad's ex girlfriend is a BC survivor, and let me tell you, a catastrophic illness changes your outlook unlike no other event in your life. She was a whiny spoiled materialistic bish and went right to being a mother earth type in a flash. It really puts things into perspective.

Fortunately BC is very treatable and survival chances are way up there. I remember when she was diagnosed, (she is a nurse) she formulated her plan. Chemo, radiation, wig, reconstruction, new hair growth, donate the wig, live...

Every sixty seconds you spend angry, upset or mad, is a full minute of happiness you'll never get back.
Today's Message for Life is: Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile.

I know I sound like a NORM when it comes to this Yeast stuff, but I was so sick for months and I had to learn how to heal myself.

IM, just taking the Probiotics won't do much for your yeast if you have it. On the healing herbs web site this woman has worked with Yeast for 30 yrs. She has a list of some of the herbs that kill the Yeast.

Here's a few
GARLIC
PAU'DE ARCO TEA OR PILLS
OIL OF OREGANO
OLIVE LEAF OIL
COCONUT OIL
ACV
BLACK WALNUT
The list goes on and on. Be careful with the Psyllium Husks they can really make you bloat out. If you take Psy. take cranberry pills with it. I know it sounds like a lot but get to that site and you will know what to do

IM as far as the CO debate you're having, yes, it's a Sat Fat but it's a medium chain fatty acid that actually increases metabolism. It binds with the thyroid gland at the cellular level and does something that boosts met. Start out taking 2 tsp a day and go from there. No need to FORCE FEED YOURSELF CO OR ANYOTHER FAT. Taking Cod liver oil/Omega 3 FAcids is also very benefitical for the integrity of the cell membrane. There isn't a MAGIC BULLET WITH YEAST OR ANYOTHER THING. Slow and steady wins the race with health and everything else.

Hope this helps

Hugs

Oh, you are probably right. I just wanted this yeast gone, quick, so I can eat cheese again. My doctor didn't like Diflucan either, so it's probably best to stay away from it. My liver went through a rough patch back when I had Toxic Shock, so I'd better treat it gently. Thanks for the warning!

Good morning! Shhhhhhhh- the grandbabies are still sleeping. I' got my shower, got the dog out, and am drinking my first cup of coffee in glorious quiet. Did I tell you all that I keep the girls Sun - Fri. afternoon? They are 2.5 and 1.5. My dd can't lift them (she is 21 weeks now!) and her dh doesn't get home from work until 7 and leaves at 5:30 am. So, they stay with me, and dd comes in the morning and stays with them while I am at work in the am, I come home and feed them all lunch and then when they go down for naps I go do visits or whatever else I need to do. I look forward to my alone time, needless to say!

Anyway, this is day 3, yet again! But this is the last day 3 I will have, 'cause even if (when) I fall off the wagon in the very very far future, I won't get lost in carb fog. I'll just turn around and hop right back on the wagon!

Needless to say, I did not get in all my water and today the scale was up 2 pounds and I am feeling the years!!

Back on plan today and I know I will make my goal on the 10th.

It sounds like you had a wonderful birthday. Congratulations for having the sense to enjoy the day! And for being such a role model for getting right back on plan. I hope you are still glowing from your special day.

[swebb]

Yesterday I was back on plan with a lean burger in the morning, turkey soup during the day and then a lean burger for dinner. And water, water, water!!

I am down the 2 pounds I gained - still looking to lose that ONE pound by tomorrow! grrrr....

Today I am going to a Scrapbook Expo with my daughter so there will be lots of walking involved - I have my tuna pouches ready and my water. Hopefully the Whoosh Fairy will be kind tonight.

Have a great day everyone!

A quick good morning to everyone.

I have some things to do this morning and then I'm going to read all the posts I missed from yesterday.

I'm trying to resist the urge to get on that scale this morning.

Those of you on active weight loss right now.. How often do you weigh yourself? One of the hardest things for me is to stay off the darn scale. When I am actively dieting, I want to jump on that scale every single morning. I know that's not a good thing to do because of small normal weight fluctuations that happen. I know it would be better to just weigh perhaps once a week so I can see the overall progress and not see a small temporary gain here and there because of water retention, or whateverr.......but I just can't seem to resist stepping onto that thing every day.

Ok, off to do my cleaning and try to stay off the scale. BUT, no doubt, when I come back here later, I will have weighed myself.

Mim, that sounds like a lovely arrangement, enjoy the kittens while they are little!

Aren't some days like starting over.....the point is, you started!

every 30 seconds!

I weigh every day. I've tried to cut it to every few days but haven't gotten there yet!

I weigh myself every morning too...on two different scales! One of my scales will not act right if it gets wet...so I have to have a back up!

I try not to really "care" if there's a gain or if there's no loss...I just know how easy it is to start slipping...two things that happen when my slip ups get out of hand...I stop weighing and I stop reading LCF.

I will say on Stillman's I don't have as many gains...when I was just doing LC I would have small gains after losses...i think that's only happened once the last month.

Happy Friday to all!!

doing a quick type by. . I am super busy today but i came across this and thought of us!!

REAL HUNGER:

Grows Gradually
You’ll eat anything
Can Wait
You stop when you feel full
You feel good after eating
You feel energized

EMOTIONAL HUNGER:

Hits suddenly
You crave a specific food *usually high in fat
You need to be satisfied instantly
No amount of food fills you
You feel guilty after eating
You feel heavier. .

[IM2fat]

Small:

I'm curious if you are going to be down this morning with the added CO and your menu yesterday. . let me know

[IM2fat]

Thank you for sharing CC!

Well said! I too am grateful!

[shenue]

Thanks for the responses about how often you all weigh. I don't feel so bad now. And yes I did succumb to the pull of the scale and weighed myself. Now I'm glad I did, I'm down another pound. Oh, if only this rate of loss would continue. lol It will slow, plateau...again and again and that is when I will need to keep a good dose of 'will' power coursing through my veins.

Mim, I loved your response of 30 secs. Some days, that is closer to the truth for me too.

[aleriaaa]

Hi Everyone! I missed you!!! You are all doing so well! and Happy Belated Bday Sharon!!!

SO, Im ready to attack the fat! Back to QWL. Its the only thing I can do 100%. Back to my skinny jeans. Back to my saggy skin. (Can you beleive I would want that?!?! ) I'm all poofed out right now. TOM is here so we'll just blame him for my last two weeks of recklessness. Sound good?

So, the 14 day plan only lasted a few hours. :blush: I have indulged peeps but I think all the cheats are out of my system! I dont think. I KNOW!!!!

So, my plan for the day is Tuna for lunch and pork chops for dinner. Already had my coffee, sans cream, so all is good!

I've got my water bottles filled up and Im already down two. (I know I should be much farther in cause its already close to noon!) Im using CL.

Forgive me for being away. Without you guys Im lost. Cheat central. Cravings are at a maximum high right now. But I will beat them!!!

Can I get a do-over?

[aleriaaa]

Gagas got her "no carbs will pass these lips" headpiece on!!

[shenue]

Hmmm may I say a brand name here? Darn I've been gone so long, I can't remember. I would like to know if any of you have tried a certain "mayo"...IF it truly can be called mayo. zero everything I'd like to hear from someone that has tried it before I purchase it. But I just can't remember if it is ok to mention a brand on here or not.

[aleriaaa]

I once wrote to Hellmans to ask them how many carbs were really in the mayo and how much sugar was present in thier 64 oz. jar....I could happily eat it like yogurt. (gross, i know) They ignored my questions and replied "as always, Hellmans has zero carbs." they lied.

[aleriaaa]

Hey CC- So nice to see you! I enjoyed your pics!! Your Dads bike rocks!!! and the addition looks great!! You are one superwoman!!

[GwnStfni]

Love the new avi, Al. Bahahahaha.

Peeps... I think I am still experiencing the die-off effects.... Ugh. Last few days, I've been experiencing nausea and diarrhea. The heat on top of this is no fun either. I hope this passes soon... It'll be a week tomorrow. Just haven't had too much of an appetite lately, when I do eat, I feel nauseous and yea. I know it'll be worth it, if I can get through it... and getting through it is my only option so I'll shut up about it now

So peeps... I went out last night and drank nothing but bottled water. Just felt the need to be social and hang out with a bunch of my friends... Everyone kept calling me skinny and my friend took a photo of me with her new camera phone to test it out and sent it to me and omg, I actually looked at it and thought I looked skinny too! Even though my BMI is still "overweight" and I carry extra weight in my butt/thighs but my double chin is definitely gone. It's not a very good picture, I was frowning from being blinded by the flash but here it is. I am just in awe that I actually have a jaw line, no double chin, collar bones. Eek! It's like looking at someone, who isn't ME! It's not a great photo, but i'll post it as my new avi.
