Stillman's Countdown to Summer: Amazing April Edition

[aleriaaa]

changing stats! 131 today! GT- Isnt that your infamous stall weight?

[Getting there!!!]

Googled it-looked quickly! I def think it's what we all agree will be are woe for ever more! It's def healthy. Lean meats, fish, eggs, veg, some fruits(i see big pics of berries) and nuts. It has no grains or dairy-i ain't giving up my skimmed milk! And I do like natural yoghurt sometimes! But it def is the way to go. Clean, lean and healthy natural foods. I don't believe anybody could put on weight eating that way. And its def the healthy way to eat. I don't agree with all the sf syrups, lc bread and basically crap food (if you can call it food) that a kot of Atkins-lovers eat. You're just swapping one unhealthy woe for another-still processed!
Ok off my soapbox now!

No! We don't have restaurants like that at home-i mean we're not big into grill places! Are restaurants are always italian or french based----carbieee!!
Thats why my eating out food is the plainest salad I can get!

[Getting there!!!]

Go you! You're shriiiinking! You seriously do lose so quickly!

[Getting there!!!]

BTW my new bounce weight seems to be 126. Not fond of that number either!

[Getting there!!!]

Omg has David Hasselhof got a new single out?????? Watching MTV! Oh Gawd kitch is not the word!!!! Maybe his single is just in Germany-they adore him here! Seriously! Maybe the rest of the world will be spared!

I'll be so siked at 126! that was a happy weight for me. Still have a little meat in the places that count! I can kiss my butt goodbye any lower than that. (but i dont care. cause 115 makes me even happier!!)

Making a post to confess my love for the tuna and cottage cheese mix
Sounds gross but boy to me it's like a treat

I'm on to the pouches and they are so great for work , I just work on them with hunger strikes !

I notice some of you don't eat any cheese but I have been eating " stillman approved " cheese every day and losing fast so maybe I will cut if I hit a stall but for now , I'm keeping in the cottage cheese

I made the quiche recipe that Aleriaaa reposted in the other thread and it's so good, I over ate the quiche yesterday and panicked but today I lost another pound !

I'm also obsessed with egg white omelets
I've started using my sugar free kool aid mix to make slushees and frosty pops , I add splenda for more sweetness
Helps erase the sweet tooth


Thanks everyone for the recipes and supports and updates
I feel much stronger and more full these days
No more starvation !

I weighed in today at 155, which is 5 lbs in 5 days
I got on and off the scale 4 times to be sure it wasn't a fluke

It wasn't
I have no fear about my June wedding
Thanks to all for the recipes and ideas
This gets easier everyday

[aleriaaa]

AKAGAL- Another pound!!! Woohoo!! I get the tuna pouches too for work! 10 fit nicely in the bottom drawer of my desk!! I dont care for cottage cheese, but I have heard of the tuna mix before, Glad you like it and its working for you. Are you going anywhere for your honeymoon?

Ha! Reading the paleo diet-ok don't agree with all of it! But OMG why does everyone talk about a set-point???!! Aaaaaagh!!!!! Yes mine is 133!! everywhere I check it thats what it comes out at! And it is true! And everywhere says that you have to work too hard to achieve weight-loss, and more importantly lasting weight-loss below that!!! You're set-point can be reprogrammed I think, so here's hoping!

I wana kiss my butt away! I want it flat, flat, flat!!!! I wanna see 115-that would make me a happy bunny!!
You better not get there first!

[Getting there!!!]

Stillmans quiche??? I'm guessing without a base!

[Getting there!!!]

I've never done the egg white omelettes-i can't justify throwing out the yolk!! i haven't had an egg since January-i got scared of the fat content! But i miss eggs!

[Getting there!!!]

Oh too funny! I actually have tears in my eyes! I was reading another thread where they were talking about needing to do some toning and one poster wrote------i know what you mean, a skinny blob is still a blob!!!!!

[Getting there!!!]

My engagement ring has got too lose again.It was slipping around dangerously when i was trying to explain someting in class! Seriously, why do I keep losing on my fingers. I can't tell himself cos I think he'll pob dump me!!! That was the condition that he gave it back to me-that it wasn't to get any bigger on me! And i could barely keep my ballet flats on my laft foot today. Strangely it wasn't lose on my right foot!!

Oops Have been posting in the wrong month. Happy though I did lose 3 for last weeks and got my mini whoosh and lost 2.5 since yesterday. Very happy and switching to regular QWL to get the scale moving just a bit quicker.

Hi! Good morning.

ok I make the egg white omelet using the egg whites in the carton, its silly, but hey it works and it is stillman approved and I havent gained any by eating it, I put some meat in there and a little seasoning and its good.

Also the quiche recipe only has eggs, chicken ( or turkey), paprika/salt/pepper, and cottage cheese...no milk or anything like that, and its good, and stillman friendly.

AL-
Good morning!
yes we are going to the Bahamas, and heck by then I am liable to look like a Sports Illustrated bikini model if I keep up my rate, even I hit a wall! lol

Thank you for asking.

You are right, once you see a loss, that is all the motivation you need. I dont want to cheat at all, period. Why mess up a good thing?

COCO- Sorry you didnt get the initial whoosh, but keep at it! It will come!! You made it thru the Olive Garden last night, so I know you are in the ZONE!!! I dont know if this will work for you, but EAT MORE MEAT!! It may sound silly, but you'll end up just peeing it out... (not to gross out any new or potential members... )

ICANDOIT's gonna DO IT!!!! and we're right behind her!!!

Thanks for the advise Al, I will give it a try and let you know. Question about how much meat should I eat? You should always feel free to give me advise or suggestions because you are a pro girl.

[PsychDoc3]

Well Good Morning
Cyone, Al and AkaGal Congratulations on your loses... I guess I'll join and say I am officially 149lbs and went on and off the scale a few times just as you did AkaGal...I'm a little obsessive like that....
I agree with the Paleo diet as well GT and Al....I looked into that diet before this one....I think that it is good for maintanence, but initially I think reintroducing certain things slowly and over the course of several weeks before committing to paleo...Every now and again, a few treats, but not on a regular basis....
I think upping my portions really helped me this weekend....I try to have beef once a week and along with my salmon for breakfast and dinner of more salmon, I ate ground beef for lunch yesterday....I also ate 2 boiled eggs (suggestion by Al last week instead of my beloved eggbeaters) with mustard at around 6pm...I think eating that additional meat helped me adjust into the 140's...So now for breakfast this morning I had a whole tin of tuna with 2 boiled eggs mixed together with mustard....I think that is pretty good....I am having a chicken breast week, so I am baking a few later to eat for the first few days of this week...I really hope this continues the decrease in the right direction...
GT you mentioned David Hasselhoff has a new single...It is ironic that you mention him because he is in that new movie 'Hop'...I went to see it with my little niece over the weekend and it was adorable...I really like Russell Brand....
AKAGal--Don't worry about your wedding..You are on your way and just enhancing the features that you have..You will be gorgeous
Cat you are soo funny...Your comment about falling off the wagon was hysterical...I started to chuckle...
Ameile-About the flax seed..I use to eat those OMM on Atkins, and I have a whole 32oz bag of it in my fridge..I wanted to commit to Stillman's so I cut flax out because even though it has 0 net carbs, I don't want to chance losing weight at a steady pace because of flax...I like making flax oatmeal in the morning or those danishes, but I decided to leave it alone to see if this lifestyle works...As Al said, if you are continuing to lose with it, then maintain eating, if you hit a brick wall, stop anything that you think might contribute to the stall...It is totally up to you...Good Luck with your decrease...
Have a great day everyone....

I'm getting mine plucked and lightened on Tuesday-to mstch my newly lightened hair! It has lovely highlights, even if I do say so myself. It looks all expensive......and so it should, it was €120 Pity it's gonna grow out!

I was thinking thats not too bad cuz I pay about $150 to get mine done but then whats the conversion? I always darken my eyebrows and lighten my hair so I have no idea what my natural colour is anymore haha.

I got my hair done last week I went from grey to a really nice light blonde and dyed my bangs blue and got one side of my head shaved but you can't even tell from the pic oh well haha

Doesn't it make you feel great to get your hair done? I think you should always feel pretty after getting your hair done
