Haha that just described the last few weekends for me

I am good all week nad eat whetever I want on the weekends I have been maintaining pretty much all of April with a couple little ups an down and I am recommited to losing ( or as close as I can get to) 20 pounds this month! Starting today! also I am only going to weigh myself once a week one day I hope to be like GT and not so scale obsessed but I will start one week at a time!

Mar922 · 05-02-2011, 09:29 AM

I am drinking black coffee right now! I am so proud of myself! I have 2 slices of cheese in my fridge right now and I am going to give it to the dogs and I am going strict, strict, strict all month!

I got another Foster Puppy this weekend he is a 95 pound Bernese Mountain dog he is purebred and has the most beutiful personality, someone just abandoned him in the country and they were gonna put him down! so sad. Now I have another reason to walk more! I already have my 2 dogs and let me tell you I may have over 200 pounds of dog walking on my left but the arm workout I am getting from the 40 pound crazy puppy on the right is killer haha.

Have a great day everyone!

Happy Monday folks! Hope you all had a great Stillman's weekend and are looking forward to an awesome week. Wednesday is the end of week 1 for me and I'm feeling GREAT so far! It's amazing how after the first few days your energy comes back, hunger is obliterated and every day is easier than the one before.

I've been noticing something though. At night before I sleep my stomach makes a ton of grumbling noises, but I'm not hungry! It's been happening for the past three nights and it's so loud that I end up laughing about it. Anybody else experience this on this eating plan?

Re: Reefed days. I'm doing it because I've done my research just as I did before starting this plan and believe it will work for me. I stated before and will say again that the point of the day is to structurally reintroduce carbs in order to regulate hormones and keep the metabolism revved. They are NOT meant to be a reason to pig out on junk and anyone who thinks of it that way should stay FAR away from using this method. This is even more important if you have no self control.

Everyone has to do what works for them and just like not weighing on a regular basis works for me I believe this will also work for ME. I encourage everyone to find what works for THEM and stick to that.

That's good that you've found a way that will make you happy and make maintenance simple once you reach your goal. Good luck on getting those 20 pounds off this month!

Thats wonderful that you have taken in a foster puppy

And all that extra walking is going to be great exercise

That really is a selfless thing you have done.
How wonderful

How wonderful

My first foster puppy was a foster fail because I ended up adopting her myself haha

I love dogs and if I could I would have 10 if I could afford it but I can't so I foster I love doing it and most of the dogs that come in just want attention its really sad sometimes, after this guy gets a home I might be getting a pregnant dog so I will have puppies! or I might be getting an American bull dog that the family can't control and I will have to train him that is less fun than puppies but I can do it!

Can't lose too much weight or the dogs are gonna start bullying me lol

Yeah hope you are Tanya. Those do not sound like good friends(hope you don't mind me saying that). I agree though with whoever said that the drinks you had won't undo all your hard work. We know that's true cos we've all had cheats either intensionally or ehem by accident(!!) and we haven't put all the weit back on!

During June, July, and half of August I'm going to interning at a law firm and it wont be conducive to restrictive dieting, so my plan is to practice a lower carb maintenance and do P90X. Since I've never been below 158, I'm going to try out 145 for a few months to see how I like it, and then in August finish the last 10 lb if I decide I want to.

Aleriaaa your success is amazing! What's your meal plan like?

Hi Lawgirl! Welcome! Congrats on your loss so far!

Please tell me though it took longer to lose it than a few weeks!!

Hey GT! So glad your stayin strong!

Hey to all other ladies.

Well, I made my goal and got into my wonderful skinny jeans. Wonderful. I was in heaven. I've gain just a bit back maybe a solid 10 as I REFUSE to get on the scale. Nonetheless, I'm BACK! This time, I want to get smaller. I HATE FAT! HAAAAATTTTTTEEEE IT!

I never really went off the wagon, just the little nibbles here and way too much alcohol

So, count me in!

Watching US celebrations about Osamas death. Just wondering from ye Americans---do you really think that justice has been done and the victims of 9/11 have been avenged? We don't see it as something to celebrate, because of the whole background-all the 9/11 and London victims, not to mention the soldiers. Does it not just bring all the pain back-a bittersweet victory. Also we (europeans)would rather see him go on trial and rot in a jail-we don't have the death penalty at all.
Thete's a rebel irish song called 4 Green Fields--and one line says ' but my sons have sons braver than their father'. Unfortunately in the case of Bin Laden, I think that's true.

I'm just like you in that respect. The less I weigh myself the better and easier it is for me to stay on plan 100%!

I hope that's the case. Did some research and it seems some people experience stomach noises before they drop a few pounds.

Getting there, I just looked at your stats and I'm blown away. You've done a tremendous job and I'm very happy for you. Here's to getting to your goal very very soon!

I just don't see how a wife of a firefighter who died could call it a 'joyous occasion'. And she was elated. If it happened with us we would have had a Mass or something on the site not a party. Strange. Even though we speak the same language, get so much American things and TV etc. We(and the Brits) really are different than the Americans.

i am a mixed bag on this. For me personally it's a little late, we've been looking for him for ten years and are just now finding and killing him? After all the lives lost in the hunt the kill just doesn't even the scales.
If it gives some closure to the victims then let them enjoy the so called victory.
Unfortunately, rotting in jail over here means health care better than the common folk, cable tv, free college, the list goes on and on. on that note, I think we'd rather see him dead than enjoying all the percs of prison life. Of course, he would have been dead in a week anyway so the point is moot.

Hello all

Has anyone had a chance to grab the flavor sprinkles?

I am glad to be back home and sprinklin away again!

My weight is down, the deadlines are coming up and I am ahead of schedule on my weight loss, but not complaining

Staying on stillmans during my vacay was the best decision I could have ever made, I am right on course.

140 is around the corner.

just keep doing this right and I will get there.
