I made my hubby hide the bathroom scale until Wednesday. I am getting too obsessed with it. Also, we got an XBOX Kinect today. I have to say that I much prefer it to the Wii. The Kinect Adventures game is really fun!

Hope everyone else had a great day Day 1 of Stillmans for me is a success!

Nice job at the restaurant! If you can do that, you can do anything!!! Check out the free download section on the xbox. theres some other kinect demos to try out. I like the racing game but i forget what its called. That one is a blast.

I have Blue Cheese dip, Sweet Onion dressing, BBQ sauce, Italian Sun Dried Tomato dressing and Marinara sauce. Has anyone tried a good one?

I would have never thought of the tomato sauce, egg, bacon combo... and I dont think my grocery store carries as much waldens as you!!!

I have been on stillmans for a week now and I lost 1.5 inches off my bust, waist and hips and I'm down 5 pounds as long as this keeps up I should be at goal in a couple months!

For those of you who have lost 10#'s in a week, what have you been eating? I have stuck right to the plan, should I be cutting out cheese?

Great job Mar!! I only lose big numbers the first week, then it slllooowwws down. I'm just eating lean meat right now. Chicken and tuna, no dairy and eggs. Not to say that you still can't get great results with it. I just find that I eat too much of it, once I start I cant stop! so Im staying away for now.

I would bet if you stick to plan, goal will come in a few weeks. Not months!

Thanks! It was sooo weird cos even though my clothes have definitely got loser, I have been the same measurements on the tape since like November! You should get Callanetics-no sweating or anything! And my calves have got smaller-can tell from my boots!

You still lose really well when you add fat so I say go for it!!

yay on the loss! I'm not sure I ever lost 10lbs a week but I'll put in my cents worth anyway! The easiest way to lose fastest is to eat clean and lean-no cheese, no eggs, no fattier meats, no little extras like cream or milk or a tiny bit of sauce. So chicken, tuna , turkey, really. And bucket loads of water. And to keep the hunger away I think eating little and often helps.

[Mar922]

Once I am done with the cheese I have in my fridge I will start eating cleaner because I need to have my little bit of milk or cream in my coffee which I need if people want to live through the day, otherwise I am a 3 headed monster

that's what I feel about milk in my tea!

[IM2fat]

Just a quick Hi! Gotta go home and get the little peepers dinner before they shrivel up and just Die!!! OMG.. you would think I never cooked. .

Glad to see so much activity on the board. Took me all my "free time" to catch up now I have no time to write.

Except. . CONGRATS! You losers!!

[CodyJo]

Call me crazy but I like the taste of the Walden Farms Honey Dijon dressing. I am using it and I hope it will be okay - should be from the sounds of it.

I have a question about duration people do the QWL diet. How many pounds are you wanting to lose with QWL or how many weeks are you planning on staying on it?

Thanks for all the support, you all are great!

[CCGirl]

Hi all........I have been shoveling since seven a.m. and I almost wish it were horse poop.........heavy wet snow.

Up here they call it heart attack snow. And, yes, I do know personally of some lovely people who were attacked by it and lost.

We had twenty three inches of the lovely white stuff overnite. BF stayed home so I could enjoy all of the epithets associated with hard work, sweating in 26F temps and the like.

and now, to the action on the board........

O my, at least she is your ex now. And the lesson learned is that some we respect are undeserving. Likewise, some we don't actually do. Look at it as a gift of exemption from persecution of homicide!

O no girl, and I rescued himself's beer. The shoes are in the closet with the jewelry box...er, casket. that Mum sent me. I have it all planned. Cats, bird, jewels, shoes. And himself if he's light enough to carry.
Flood doesn't worry me. Most of the valuables are on the second floor. And fire? That will be me on the news, the crazy person with all of the taps open flooding the house and armed with a garden hose out in the yard.

And about the dressings-def make your own!

I could feel that my super skinnies-that seriously,I could barely breathe in after Xmas were def getting loser-and now longer,weird! Guess it's cos they're loser! But when I measured it just was not showing up on the tape!
Anyway I lost an inch from my bra strap, an inch from my waist (i now have Posh's waist measurement! -now if I just had the rest!) an inch and a half from my hips and nearly 2inches from each thigh!!!!
I was googling a while back for size zero measurements-yes i know i shouldn't blah...! Anyway they come up as 31-23-33.........so I'm only a couple of inches off (brastrap&hips)......2yrs ago I never would have even dreamed that!!!!!!!

GT are you sure you're not on thin overload? Take a good look at those gaunt photos from awhile back....or maybe I'm jealous, in a good way of course.

yep it keeps me from hurting others.....listening to BF rant all day between shoveling OMG I love him but thank Goddess for hearing loss in one ear

GT thanks for the info I thought rasher was sausage...oh wait that would be bangers, right?
I will continue to trade bread for skinny jeans. Forever.

Bwaaaaaaahahaha me too. Today was a monster alert so we had Bailey's in our coffee. Normally a nono but I figure after eating one egg one egg white and three slices bacon and two chik thighs the calorie deficit was still huge.

I will stay on or close to QWL/Paleo/Atkins for life.

okay, off topic here but I have found two dopplegangers today.
Cody Jo..........



meet Dana Delany


Becky, if you're out there, here you are with a long bob........

Lo Carb Honey Dijon Dressing

1 Cup of Low Fat, Plain Greek Yogurt
1/4 Cup of Splenda
4 TBSP of Dijon mustard
1 tsp of celery seed

whisk together, thin with water if too thick

and Walden farms dressings average 4.00 per pound, I'm sure this is much cheaper and no preservatives/strange crap you don't want to eat!

[CodyJo]

Thanks CCGirl for the recipe and the compliment about Dana Delany. She is gorgeous!

I lost all my weight on it-well a version of it anyway-lean meat, eggs, fish and some salad vegetables-(always under 20carbs). I think I did it without any veg straight for about 5months, but I didn't feel good.
I intend to eat like this forever, will prob have oatmeal for breakfast (cos I like it!) and will def add back in yoghurt(cos I like that too!).

I'm still not thin, far from it!! Actually my face looks a bit 'rounder'. I've been eating a bit more! And drinking lots of water!
Amen to the trade-off!

Have you seen the new Guinness HP Brown sauce?

[makemeslim]

Today is weigh in day over on the Stillman's March weigh in thread. I lost a total of 5lb. I'm not thrilled coz I am guessing 3 of those are down to water weight but on the other hand, I did have a pig out and it is also TOM, so maybe I need to lighten up a bit. Daughter has started diet with me today...she does not have much to lose at all but wants to slim down in time for the warmer weather. Its nice having her on board...we spent this morning doing what teenage girls love to do and looked through all the latest celeb mags (I caved GT), over steak and eggs. Feeling really positive about this week...we will keep each other in check...plus, I'm going to beat this weeks numbers!
