Enjoy your time with MOM!!! Order a steak with a side of chicken!! (They usually charge me what it costs to "add chicken to a salad".

PS: Give the brocolli to MOM!!

Yeah i do! I have very light skin so i bruise easily anyway but now it's just not funny!

[Getting there!!!]

And i can see veins everywhere-that is the major down side of weight-loss. On my knees, and all up my arms, and my hands look like a 90yr olds, or Madonna's. And they stick up. There's not an ounce of fat on them or my lower arm. I suppose if i ever need blood, they'll be able to find my veins!!! Ha!!

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

mmm love cottage cheese..........rock on, girl!

Does everyone see my photo in the thread when I post ? I see everyone else but not my own
Is that normal ?

[akagal20]

I fixed meatballs tonight for me and my fiancee
I also fixed him penne pasta and spaghetti sauce

I only ate the meatballs and had diet coke
I felt like I was in a trance . I didn't taste the food I just ate as much as I could before I was full. It was extra lean turkey meat and I had cooked to long so it was bone dry.. Ugh

I used to love eating now I'm dreading ... I guess in a way that's a good thing , they say it's best not to let food control you

I have an addictive personality type so I already see myself being hooked on this diet

I have a lot of events coming up surrounding my graduation and my wedding and there is going to be a lot of food , I'm getting anxious in advance but if I have to bring my own personal chicken to an event , then so be it
Someone has a problem with that then oh well I'm ready to be the old me , the fit me

[icandoit]

My husband bought a box of chocolates! Guess what I am craving!! AHHH

Yup that's the power of Stills-food enjoyment gone! Scoffed down half a can of tuna this morning-literally standing there force-feeding--then I sat down and enjoyed my tea! And yeah it is addictive!
Def bring your own food (maybe not to your wedding breakfast!He) but before, and yeah tough if people don't like it!

Why would he do that?????? i'm always craving choc, me!!
Did you resist??? I'm not sure I would have been able to!

[Getting there!!!]

Just looking at your stats,ICDI---WTG on the loss already! You'll def be into onderland (thought that was so funny the first time I heard it!) by the end of April! Woohoo!!

[Amélie]

Had to eat a banana because my neuro appointment was taking so long. And between the available unhealthy hospital food, I figured the banana was the better choice. It's my only carb for the day though so I think I'm <20g still. Will prepare for next time!

dunno about that....I look forward to eating because I know I can't 'hurt' myself with it anymore. It's not the enemy anymore.

and if ppl don't like your food choices they're just jealous!!!!!!!!

[CCGirl]

Down another pound this morning! I am so excited. Worked out yesterday and thought I was going to die but afterward I was so happy I did it. The second week on this program is going to be tough. I would really like to see the 130's by the end of next week, darn it all.

my menu yesterday:

B: coffee
L: 1 cup of romaine lettuce and some bacon. (it was sooo good)
D: 1/2 pound of ground turkey, seasoned like it was for a gyro and another cup of lettuce. Couldn't really find the lettuce...so opposite of a resturant salad
1 low-carb yogurt
water - not sure how much but probably not enough

Today should be the same menu pretty much.


I eat as much meat as I want, just like everyone else, until I want to be sick.

I am always cold when I diet for some reason, I just can't ever get warm.

If you have parties to go to, eat before you go and drink some water. Nothing helps like already having a full stomach. I always like the excuses brought up here, my family has a history of diabetes, I am lactose intolerant, I am allergic to gluten, etc... For some reason people have a problem when you make your own conscious decision to make dietary changes unless there is some medical reason for it.

Have a great day gals
