Stillmanites Sweeties Unite! Get Slender in September!!!

[martine]

Hi Aleriaa, Beth, & everyone,

I didn't report yesterday, but I lost another 1.2lb, but today I was up 1.6. U know why? Yesterday I forgot to eat caus I wasn't hungry. Usually I eat atleast 6x, up to 8. There's like 4 meals worth of stuff I didn't eat & now I'm retaining... Also I think my body might be keeping water to readjust itself... bc I drink, but not much comes out & I don't have sodium in my foods, just my water... I actully wasn't mad! The only thing irritating me is my midsection. I look like I'm 6 months along & for a fashion queen, that's a MAJOR limiting factor :-( I HATE TOM (SCREAMS)

Looked at my journal from June. Apparently I'm supposed to be this way for 12 days. What the hike? !!!!!! So I have f4 more days. I've been praying to God for a soon woosh. Normally I loose atleast 1.5-3 lbs when I'm close to 0 carbs. So just waiting... Been regretting why I let the wt creep up on me :-( anyways, that's that... staying in the game. love yall, keep it up.

MArtine, hang in there. Eventually it will all come together. Someone told me that if you take vitamin C (make sure no glucose, sucrose etc...) it will flatten the stomach. Well I took it anyway because Stillman lacks Vitamin C. I take 2-3 thousand mg a day, and my stomach is flattening out! If there is a gain, and you are strictly Stillmans, then it will all come together. Hang in there fashion queen!

I'm sitting here debating having a rum and diet coke . yep. .I think I will. . I'll check in later. . You guys are the bomb!~

[IM2fat]

Matine. . just wanted to say Kudos to you for keeping a journal. . one of the great keys to success. yep. .that shall be my new goal for the week. . Food journal. . good or bad. . I'm gonna be accountable to myself!!!

Hi guys just wanted to let you know that the whoosh fairy came last night and took 2lb with her. I've got 10 days until my op (including today) and I want to drop 8lb. That means I will weigh 11 stone 13lb (as I am now 12 stone 7lb) when the day comes. It's hard to believe that I used to weigh 14 stone 1lb... I am 5ft 11 but that was still way too much for me. Stillman’s really is the best weight loss diet I have ever tried and believe me I have tried them all. Since starting this diet I have had many cheats... in fact, I have spent more time off plan than on (I am not encouraging cheating or going off plan) and yet with regards to weight loss the trend is downwards. Of Course I gain a little when I go off plan but as soon as I get back to it I lose again and my weight gets lower still. When I did Atkins, I would blow up like a balloon when I went off plan...and with regards to weight loss the trend was upwards. If you are a lurker and considering Stillman's, please jump in and give it a try...Stillman's rocks.

Hello helllooooo
I'm back! Had an AMAZING time over the past 2 weeks with my boyfriend. Sadly he's on his way back to school and I won't see him until December! But that means time to get back to my dieting!! Gained a few lbs while I've been gone BUT starting back on Stillman's tomorrow....20-30 lbs by December? I THINK SO

So I'm thinking of writing lines... the old favorite...
1. Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels.
2. Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels.
3. Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels.
4. Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels.
5. Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels.
etc....

The taste is so temporary...but being in good shape has such great benefits...why is it even a struggle??

CCG, your substitutions are great. I think I'll be able to maintain eating that basic LC way...I just couldn't lose that much while eating that way. Once I get to where I want to be...(not really sure where that is...160 for now) I want to incorporate those things you listed back into my diet.

I ate a lot of Flax seed muffins and oopise rolls back in the day...those are good and very versital (sp?)

Oh yeah, CCG, about those coach bags...at least they aren't fattening...they may be deadly...but not fattening!! : )

LOL I'm a far cry from maintenance........but I do have a plan. And I'm learning more all the time, from research AND from my LC friends.

No one outside of that civilization understands... looking back carb filled life, unless it's not affecting u, it's savagery! I can't describe how many health issues I was having... & now I'm well: all gone!!!!!! Ppl not in this kingdom & civilization will never understand. This isn't a "diet" 4 me. It's a way of life! Just to put it out there that Disney song from pocahontas's playin' in ma mind. "savages, savages, they're not even human, savages!" lol my mind can be very disturbed! lol I appologize ahead of time for even sharing this.

Ha! Yes, bring the bikini. I also spotted what I'm gonna be wearing 2 months from now from my fav fashion boutique. A pair of elegant short shorts with a golden hand print in front saying "hi hater" & in the back "bye hater!" lol Will take millions of photos of that & post it on my facebook!!!!! lol

Oh about the gallons, bc of how heavy I am, I need about 132oz a day at the least anyways... well I've never been a cofee & tea drinker. I don't do soft drinks or juices, so it's my "all of the above" for drinks... it keeps me hydrated & it's a litle addicting bc it changes also ur taste buds so u love it. I do 2 gallons in the day & 1 through the night. I try to flush away ketones as much as I can. :-)

Oh girl, you are so right about this being almost a religious experience. And, like a happy Pagan, having to keep behind closed doors and mouths.

The shorts sound wicked...I love them already! With some scorching peep toe booties......smokin!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will have to look up your water recipe again......I just can't get on the wagon. Even with CL I'm only getting in about 64 oz/day. Not counting tonic water, of course.........

rock on you sexy thang!

well, it's a blustery 55F up here in the mountains.

Just had bfast, 1 egg+1 white with 2 oz. cheddar..........DBF had 6 bacon strips and five pcs. french toast. He loves bfast and I make the hearty ones on weekends.

So he's off to unload some lumber that I brought home from my weekly ride into civilation for provisions and I can kick back a bit. I was good yesterday-no veggies in the cart! I still have an eggplant left from Mom's visit....it may just go into the compost pile, even tho I hate to waste, I hate the waist more!

Dont ever be sorry for sharing Martine!! I love it! I can't believe some of the stuff that falls out of my fingertips when Im on the boards.. share! share! share!

I too have had amazing results since eliminating carbs, aside from losing all the extra weight! As soon as I started cheating here and there and falling off the wagon so many miserable symptoms came back! Im working hard these days to keep on plan and hopefully get back to being energetic and healthy!! With glowing skin, clear mind, and no more allergies! Just to name a few... I think I made it a week this round!!! I'll have to go back and check..Im in it to win this time! Lets do this!!

Stillmans totally has a way of flattening out my stomach. Its still sticking out there because I dont exercise, but at least it always feels empty even after a slab of prime rib.

I agree! Stay on Stillmans strict and good things always happen!!! Bring on the whoosh!

Lets turn that frown upside down! Today's the day to do it! Pehaps its just a mental thing because you think the chicken wings were bad for you. I totally disagree! meat + fat = good , ooey gooey carb stuff = bad.

Come on IM2... we can do it!! As punishment for using those swear words, you must write "I am smokin hot and thin" at least 20 times!

I still want cheese.... and the fact I havent given in makes me want to break out in song...

[aleriaaa]

sorry guys...Im tone deaf..

BBL!!

[aleriaaa]

If all we eat is plain ole meat
We won't be tempted to cheat cheat cheat!

If we stay away from all the sweets
The flubber and fat we are bound to beat!!

We made it thru summer and the heat heat heat
We all have accomplished quite a feat

.... And I think that is really neat!


luv yas!!!

Thank you
I'll be here! Starting tomorrow morn again! I had so much success while on Stillmans last month. It was hard to stick to the diet while my boyfriend was home (mostly because he came back weighing 180 lbs and needed to eat to GAIN weight!) Men....! I really want to blow myself away and knock his socks off when I see him again.

Can't wait for the weight to start melting off again!! Hope everyone's been well!

(feels guilty) ugh, my weakness........but not too much is closer to plan, and deprivation makes me cave so I allow some when I want.

Living with the King O' Carbs all this time has kinda made me oblivious to the candy, brownies, pie and chips lurking about. That's all he lives on for real.
Not really having a chocolate weakness helps, too. I'd always rather have a roast beef sandwich than velvet cake....now I know the carbs were the problem I really am not eating anything I don't like. And bread and pasta just don't taste the same.....or was it the crack high from them that makes them blah now

Having no kids helps a lot....you moms must really have it rough.

[Beth Sch]

Martine! I'm sorry about your gain. THAT's WHAT HAPPENS TO ME 2! IT'S CRAZY. I think it's God making sure we don't rely on not eating in order to lose wt. tehe! But, seriously, there is something about not losing and or gaining when we don't eat enough. BTW, Maritine, you are such a cutie pie. You have wonderful skin.

I have to tell ya, ladies, this medicine is such a God sent. I feel amazing. This Medicine, Metformin ER, kills my appetite as the Insuline isn't cursing through every inch of my body making me insanely hungry and irratable.

Please, if you are having horrible periods that are late and all over the place, and if you can't lose wt even on a very low carb diet, and if you gain wt. like crazy, etc etc do a Google on Insuline Resistance and PCOS. This might save you all the yrs. I suffered. I don't want anyone to suffer like I have.

Hugs,
b

[ontopofmygame]

Wow! This board really came alive!! It is good to see multiple postings and people coming back! I am going to post what I had today, so that I won't eat anymore. It is 5:21 pm pacific standard time (west coast USA)

1. 4 hard boiled eggs, 2 at breakfast and 2 at lunch.
2. 1 (4 oz) turkey pattie with 1 oz nonfat pretend cheese. (organic Lifetime cheese, no tofu or soy)

Because I had the 1 0z of non fat cheese, and 1 extra egg, that is enough for me to quit for the day. I just really needed some of that cheese melted on my turkey pattie today, as I have been exhausted and getting cold easier, and had started to crave carbs for the first time. Too exhausted to even go shopping this Labor Day weekend, or clean house etc...
I am going to finish the remainder 40 0z of water after church tonight... so that I won't be in the bathroom the whole service! LOL.
I ordered a ton of vitamins over the internet yesterday about 100.00 worth. So I hope that my energy levels go up. I have been on Stillmans over a month straight without deviation (is the one ounce of nonfat cheese deviant?), and am just now starting to get tired. But is was worth the 24 lb loss. Another 37 to go!! So I figure 2 more months... hopefully by Thanksgiving weekend I will be at goal, and still will only eat Turkey then.
Couldn't do it without my peeps!! Thank you for being there!
