I understand that Stillman's wasn't written for long, life-long term use...but I haven't felt this good in so long. Why would I want to put that stuff back into my body that gives me headaches, joint pain, bloating and fat!!

That's great Becky that people are noticing!! And I agree on the not eating the nasty carbs again!

I do agree with some of it- this diet is restrictive). .We all realize that if you lose weight quickly, restrict certain food groups and fail to exercise and go back to your old habits. . you will gain and you will gain more than you lost in the first place! That is why we need a game plan. . First. . we need to lose to feel better. .to give us the push we need to keep on going. then we need to start polishing ourselves and our diet to make it livable/manageable. . So. .I am going to propose a goal which will include a "treat" . not a cheat but a treat! Don't confuse the two. . A treat can be enjoyed, guilt free, it is planned and it is on purpose. . .. a cheat makes you feel worse, out of control and doesn't satisfy like a treat can. . I think we should all name a goal. .a time to fulfill that goal and decide on a treat! If you do not make your goal, you must start over with a new clock until you make it to your first treat.

That makes so much sense!!

The long timers are who I really like to hear from because you all have been where I am...and know where I'm headed! : )

I enjoy it when Im in the zone! any little (or big) slip though and it makes it soooo much harder to jump back on.

Thankfully I got a grip on the cheats, and have no doubt I will make goal this time. I just need to see what 110 feels/looks like. Although, if I could maintain at my current weight, Id be thrilled. Come December, I will be able to say I have not been over the 130's in over a year. That is big news for me. I will proabbly use Stillmans as a band-aid to weight gain for the rest of my life. Although it would be nice to just eat healthy and maintain forever, I know I like to over indulge here and there, and then use the magic to get it off quick!

The people in front of me had Hot Dogs. .Popcorn, Nachos and then went back for more popcorn. .but who was counting. .Not the meat eatin crazy lady. . drooling all over the place. .

Doesnt it feel soooo good to make it through a carb infested night without one nibble!!! Great job meat eatin crazy lady!!!!!! Those people in front of you mustve been all or nothing people too. That is a lot of JUNK!!!

GT!!!! Whats the plan for today? tea, tuna, and shopping??

[aleriaaa]

Still 123 and that is after two days of my bacon,ground beef,turkey mixture. Ate it all. 5 lbs of it. So, my theory that we pee it all out has to be correct. I have not gone potty, so where did it all go. That is the question to ponder today if you dont have a weak stomach... hahaaaha Sorry Im so gross.

[aleriaaa]

have to add one more pound or so to that equation because I ate the whole package of bacon too.

[aleriaaa]

and because I cant keep my fingers shut.... I watched the members of my family chow down on overflowing bowls of peanut butter swirl ice cream last night. It had tiny peanut butter cups in it too. I'll admit, I was drooling and upset but I WILL NOT GIVE IN!!!! GO ME!!!!

[aleriaaa]

I love and hate working on the weekends. I'm all alone and can work in peace (and check in with my LCFs) but the rest of the world is out having fun..


off to daydream about mansions and Starbucks Frappacinos, and cheese.

I seem to be losing fine without it, but I guess once I come close to my weight goal, I could use the gym to "tone up"...I don't even know how to use half the machines at my gym! I always feel silly going alone. I like the treadmill and the bikes...

Just wondering your perspectives

Hi Sp-your sooo pretty!! I think exercise is really important! I use the bike, do Pilates (which I think has helped the most) And now I go for walks too-til the weather gets too cold!I think it really helps with the weight loss and def with the toning!! I think you can lose fine without it but I know from me that I have really changed my shape with it. I used to be really pear shaped-with saddlebags etc. Now I have narrow enough hips. I know I would never have got that with the diet itself. If I'm honest I hate exercise really--well thinking about it!! But I love how I feel after!!

Don't listen to her! She has a gorgeous figure!! We've seen the bikini shots---and they are magazine worthy!!

Oh yeah!!!

speaking of underwear and more proof I have a deflated bum....Ive been going thru all my clothes and was sitting on the floor with a bag of bras and never-been-worn g-strings, I held up a pair of pretty baby blue ones and said to hubby, keep or toss? He told me to keep em only if I was gonna start tonin my a$$. Im not mad at him. He speaks the truth.
