Tres desole

Those ribs sure do sound good GT...Invisible..

Al, you are a meatsensation and inspiration for all of us that if we just stick to plan, things will come quicker and in the way that it was intended....The sooner we get to goal, the better and then the experimentation can begin--upping the fats and upping the carbs--just enough as not to gain weight..There should come a time when if you, in particular, want that carrot, you can have it...If GT wants that chocolate, she can have it. If I want that jicama slice (I have been craving it for awhile), I can have it, but know the limitations and abide by those...The closer and closer you get, the more happy we are for you and the more we realize that we will make it sooner or later....Everyday that goes by brings us that much more closer to goal Thanks for your example!

oooo I was hoping the wedding was yesterday and she'd be back to day with the update! darnit!!

[Getting there!!!]

I hope I'm not developing hayfever. I've noticed a 'runny' nose every so often at the beginning of Summer here or if someone cuts the grass. But today my nose feels weird-not to the touch, in it!! And my eyes are watery! Either that or the beginnings of a cold!

Hey!

Side note to AL- Congrats on the continued loss, we all know what happens when we stay strict ! A Loss

My crazy fiancé has been on stillmans and he had lost 10 lbs Already so that's great !

My friends wedding is tonight , unfortunately I'll be working at a golf tourny all day until then

I did buy a new dress given that tonights wedding is black tie and ultra snazzy
Its even better than last weekend dress, I'm so glad I found it

Hope Its fun

My weight is right at 137 so same as last week so I'm fine with that given that i have hd more fat and some alcohol

Unfortunately 137 isn't 135 which means i did not earn the right to splurge tonight

It will be fun but I can only eat the meat and do champagne toast no open bar or any cake

I am strict but how else will i learn ? I had no biz drinking on a week and eating cheese and boxes of tic tac !

I've been to a lot of weddingS lately and to be honest I've noticed a lot of people who turn down the cake , I don't think it's as big of a deal these days

The bride doesn't care and doesn't know who eats what, it's not worth today

Im never at the table when the cake comes around. Not on purpose but by that time Ive already hit the floors and hardly ever make it back!!

(Note: I work alone on Saturdays..lol)

[aleriaaa]

hopefully some of our old friends will see it too and make it back!! We must pop into their heads at least on the first of every month, right!!!?! I miss them.

[aleriaaa]

I wish I could get an alert on my phone when there's a new post...

[Beth Sch]

Hey Beauties!

I am so JAZZED! I'm already BACK IN MY SKINNY JEANS. PRAISE GOD!

THIS DIET TOTALLY ROCKS! Man, wish I'd have know how lightning fast it was yrs. ago. ! Nonethless, I'm in my skinnies and very, very happy. (Size 26, US 2, to be exact, and I'm 5'9-- Go GOD!)

Now onto gettin' all the fat off so as to wear a really cute BIKINI in a few weeks, like probably 2 weeks. ! What a blessing to finally be armed with this knowledge. LP ROCKS!

Funny thing too, I've actually UPPED my cals around 1300-1400 and lost lightning fast. I only eat when I'm truly hungry. Most often, when I'm LCing I'll stay around 1000 give or take a 100 and lose around 2, 2.5 a week; which is still really good, but not Stills, good! I'm in heaven. Truly!

IT'S MAGIC, YOU'RE RIGHT GT!

Thanks for all your help, y'all.

Oh, here's a tip. Buy already made shrimp, the big one's I love, and just let it thaw, and eat just plain. There's not need to cook or use any added oil and such. Actually, you can even run warm water over the frozen shrimp and they're ret to jet in a few secs. They're so tastey and low fat, low eveything. Kinda like tuna in nutrients. Maybe you can do a "Shrimp Slurry" AL.

Hugs,
B

[aleriaaa]

Beth- I AM SOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!! YOU DID IT!!!

bikinis, here we come!!! (so what if i wear a t-shirt over mine- )


Shrimp is a great idea, but I dont like it unless its smothered in cocktail sauce. Although, going the plain way for a week, my taste buds have probably changed and I may enjoy it now. thinking about it, its not really the taste, its how it feels in my mouth when I chew it.

Lobster make the same weird feeling in my mouth, but I usuassly eat it with a bite of steak, together.

mmm...steak and lobster....(off to daydream...)

Thanks..Ever since vivi mentioned being completely clean, I have embraced it whole heartedly...The scale had been bouncing between 140 and 142 for a few days at that time and I just cut out my cherished 1/2 and 1/2 for coffee and eat something so similar to what you are consuming...I eat a poached chicken breast and poached egg each morning before taking off to the hospital...I like the yolk over the chicken breast...It eliminates the need for mustard...I make sure to poach two or three chicken breast in the morning so they can travel with me to the hospital...Then I consume tons of water and coffee..I know, coffee isn't the best, but I am an addict since college...I don't drink as much as before (only 3-4 cups daily because I miss the cream), but I do like my coffee...I then eat a chicken breast for lunch and a hard boiled egg ....Then for dinner I eat another chicken breast and some mustard...I cut my mustard intake....I also mix in some tuna every now and again for lunch or dinner...An turkey burgers...I get the Jenny O frozen pre-packaged...I don't have lots of time to prepare the ground turkey meat sometimes...I love turkey bacon, but I cut it out because of the salt a few weeks ago...So my diet consists of eggs (poached/scrambled/boiled), chicken breasts (poached or baked), tuna and turkey burgers...I have eaten like this for roughly two weeks...Just trying to make it plain...But I enjoy foods, so I know that I will be incorporating different veggies and dairy products in the future...But for now, this is ok...

Of course I remember your carrot-love..I've always been know for my memory...There is NO way I would forget GT's love of chocolate...She reminds us in her tag line every day...

Beth Sch...Congrats are in order!!! Awesome to fit into those jeans....

ICDI--I'm so proud that you are able to stick to plan right now...It is soo hard to stay the course on vacation....You are doing well and I like the rest are looking forward to pictures...

AkaGal--We are ready for your pictures of this day....We know you will have a modern fashion forward dress on display for us...We are waiting...

Beth another thing...I can never make enough shrimp to cause fulfillment at a meal which is why I would stick with salmon or other fatty fish when I am in the mood for fish...How do you prepare them to make them have that extra zing of fulfillment?

I am echoing GT when I say this: "Where are you Mar?".....I hope you are fine...

I have the whole day off so, I was a bum and just took a shower...I have some errands to run...Take care and have a great day and Memorial Day

[PsychDoc3]

I have no idea why my messages are coming up twice..Sorry for the repetition..

Ummm...This is a bad time to go grocery shopping...So many families with their children...I think I'll wait until later on in the day to hit the grocery store..Al, what do you do for a living?You are at work at the moment, right?

Sounds like you are right on plan!!! I drink a lot of coffee too! and Im amazed that Im actually back to black now, with a little sweet&low in a few extra special cups. I used to get those turkey burgers-thanks for bringing them up! I'll have to get some more next time I shop!

Hope you're enjoying your day off!

i think I may just love champagne now. how could I forget the mio

Your turn- FINALLY!!!!!

Your turn- FINALLY!!!!!

Since my fiancé is on the plan we work together to make recipes and drinks etc

Turns out he is much better cook!! Lol

Anyway we added mio to a pure shot of vodka and also to gross extra dry champagne !

Very nice and not totally diet killing
So those are my go to drinks if I must drink :$


I like having a plan , it makes me feel like I won't slip or give in

When I go in blind or unsure is when I panic and eat 3 pieces of cake ( err um like at last weeks wedding !! Ugh !)

[purekitten]

Congratulations Beth! I'm happy to learn that this diet can even work for people whose metabolisms have adjusted to very low calorie intakes.
Everyone is so close! I bet you all are getting ready to show off your new figures for summer. As for me, I'm sure I'll be at goal sometime before summer ends. I'm looking forward to fitting back in my old clothes again.
My one day cheating did do a lot of damage, but I'm back on plan for sure this time and intend to stay strict. At least I didn't gain back all the weight I lost...
Psych, I'm also addicted to coffee, I must start every day with one cup. I don't think drinking black coffee slows weight loss, right?
Tanya, I'm so excited to see the dress you're going to wear this weekend, as I really liked the one you wore last time. You have a great figure and great taste in fashion!
Have a nice weekend everyone.
