January Eat, Weigh, Post

[Ratty29]

Hello, I started stillmans again yesterday after a fail last week

To get me motivated and stay on course I wanted to start a thread where you could easily see what people were eating each day and could see the weight dropping, as I found it really motivational reading in some of the other older threads.

Please join me in a slimmer, sexier and totally fabulous 2012

Go team meat!

Start date 09/01/12 - Weight 218.25

Weight this morning 214.5

Loss - 3.75

I know its water weight but yey, scale going down

Yesterdays food

B: 2 x Bolied Eggs
L: 2 x Chicken breasts
D: Beef Mince (fat drained off after cooking) with Cumin seeds, chilli, black pepper, thyme and rosemary

See you tomorrow

[Amgarrett616]

Oh you are so my buddy! I started yesterday too and guess what my weight was today?!? 214.5! I'm so gonna kick your hiney. hehehehe

Lets roll sister!

I missed Breakfast today in a complete rush but will keep you posted.

[Ratty29]

Hey diet buddy

whoa can't believe the same weight...its fate

It'll keep me motivated to have someone to lose with and to beat

Just kidding, glad you posted, see you here laters

[Amgarrett616]

My 214 is actually a gain so from yesterday, which sucks. But, ya know, it's only a teeny gain (.4 pounds) which could be anything. BUT, I shaved my legs! So, technically, I should have lost. Dang it!

[Ratty29]

Hah love it! Come to think of it, my legs are looking a bit forresty!

[Amgarrett616]

I also waxed my eyebrows but whose counting? I went to the gym tonight so I better see a loss in the morning.

[Ratty29]

Todays weight - 212.5
2lbs loss since yesterday
total loss - 5.75lbs

its early days but pleased with 2 days of pure stillmans

Yesterdays food -

B - 2 x boiled eggs
S - half chicken breast
L - 1 & a half chicken breasts
D - Minced Beef with all the fat removed with cumin, chilli, black pepper, rosemary and thyme

Think I will eat the same thing every day until I hit boredom or a long stall.
It does feel like I have been dieting for ages...its only been 2 days

[Ratty29]

Hey Amgarret,

hope you have had a loss too

I'm not planning on hitting the gym until next week when my body has got used to no carbs!!

Let me know how its working for you

[Amgarrett616]

I did I did! Not as much as you tho. 213.2 this morning.

Went out with the office bunch yesterday for lunch ordered two grilled chicken breasts.
Had half a chicken breast and boiled egg for dinner.

Kinda worried I'm not getting enough cals. We will see.

[Amgarrett616]

Im feeling super motivated right now (8:50am) and stuck at the office. FIGURES. Sure wish I could run over and punch something at the gym right now. If I don't get into the one hundreds this month I am gonna SCREAM!! I will WIN this dang it. *I* Choose my weight. I am in control here. Right? I mean, I am right? lol

[Ratty29]

Yeah go girl, a loss is a loss and thats what counts

So impressed with your control when eating out....hope I can be as good. Have a meal with the parents on Sunday but may have to eat some veggie carbies as they won't like me just eating meat!

Oooh I'd just love a punch bag in the office...and a dart board and for when I want to chill....a ball pool

Yeah I am eating quite alot as I want to keep my cals high, and because my appetite hasn't quite got suppressed yet so I am just wanting to eat. mmmmm meat nom nom

We are going to hit onederland this month and then we are gonna blow right past and get into the 180's, then the 170's etc etc

We are in control, I tell myself I want noting as much as I want to be thinner right now.....don't ask me that when there is a big glass of wine near me though....oooh I miss the wine

I'm off home soon for meat and exercise

see you tomorrow

[Amgarrett616]

I totally snuck out at lunch and hit the gym for about 45 mins or so. Had some chicken and 2 boiled eggs and water of course.

I want 211 tomarrow!

170's...oh I so love 170's. That's where I usually land and stall, but you know, I am comfy there and look great (sizw 8). 140 is something I've never saw Prolly be a size 4. That would be so crazy for me!!!

[Ratty29]

Day 4
Weight today - 211 lbs
weight lost - 1.5 lbs
total loss after 3 days - 7.25 lbs!!

Food eaten yesterday
B - 2 hard boiled eggs
S - half chicken breast
L - 1.5 chicken breasts
D - Spicy minced beef

drank - water (lots) and decaff tea

So happy to have another loss, although I am dreading the day I don't lose and all my motivations goes out the window and I end up face down in a bag of peanut M&M's!

Hey Amgarrett, Your post about going to the gym at lunch totally motivated to get off my butt and go walking last night...so thank you

Hope you see a good loss after your hardwork

[Amgarrett616]

211.8 this morning!

[Amgarrett616]

Glad I could motivate you!! And lol about mnms! Hahaha. When I first steppes on the scale this morning it said 214 and I about fainted. Thankfully, it mist have saw the fury and rage in my eyes and reconsidered the numbers. Whew. Good thing too bc I really didn't want to buy a new scale but that one was on it's death bed with those numbers this morning. I think the scale and I have an understanding now. I step on, it goes down.

I have a lunch date today with another probation officer, I have no intention of cheating tho and I have kickboxing tonight!

[Amgarrett616]

DAY 3
Ratty {start date 01/09/12--218.25 current weight--211} -7.25
Amgarrett {start date 01/09/12--215 current weight--211.8} -3.2

Lets copy and paste this just changing the digits every day so we can see where we are!

[Ratty29]

Hey AmG, Congrats on the awesome loss

great idea about the template I'll use it in my post below, very excited and I had another loss, thank you Dr Stillman

[Ratty29]

DAY 4
Ratty {start date 01/09/12--218.25 current weight--208.5} -9.75
Amgarrett {start date 01/09/12--215 current weight--211.8} -3.2

woooooooooooooo 2.5 lbs loss

Day 4 food -

B - 2 x hard boiled eggs
L - spicy mince
D - 1.5 spicy chicken breasts

Cannot believe my body can lose alomost 10lbs in 4 days, I honestly would not believe it if I was reading it. How much water weight can I have been carrying!!!! alot it seems

Was getting fed up of plain chicken yesterday so added some spices (garlic powder, chilli and paprika and a tiny bit of salt), thankfully they didn't stall me.

I didn't go out walking yesterday as felt rubbish, think I have a virus and prob a little tired from drop in carbs. Loving it though. Have a hard weekend ahead with 2 x meals out. I know I won't be perfect- why? because there will be wine friends and laughter and I can't face the questions about why I am only eating meat and then being told how bad it is. I know its not but hey!

But I will be sensible and controlled and exercise more to make up for it. I prob will have a gain but hopefully it won't be much...fingers crossed

I've got that friday feeling

Hey I forgot to ask, just being nosey so tell me to shut up, was it a date date or a mate date?

Hope it went well and was fun either way

[Amgarrett616]

It was a friend coworker date lol. Im very married! Lol
I gained .08 today. Sniffle. I had a sprite zero last night. I know it's "allowed" but I haven't been having diet drinks at all so maybe that had something to do with it? I am not discouraged bc I know it will come right off. I kicked but at the gym last night too. AND made a fabulous cake last night and managed to not even lick the spoon once!

I'm looking for a big drop tomarrow. I'm 17 pounds total in the 5 weeks I've been low carbing so I can't be complianing about a little gain.

[Ratty29]

oop sorry

Thats an amazing loss in 5 weeks

I hope I can lose and maintain like that too, I am such a yo yo!

Maybe its the working out thats leading to the little gains, I heared your mucle held onto more water when you worked out, after a few days you'll prob get a big whoosh and it'll drop off and you'll be fitter too

[Amgarrett616]

Yup, I think so. I know that I am not gaining "fat". I am feeling very stiff this morning so I know that I am feeling that workout. So if I am holding a little extra water, that's okay. When I see a little gain and I know that I am still doing what I should be doing, it kind of just makes me look forward to the next morning because I know that I'll have a bigger drop. I am not planning to work out today because of scheduling but maybe I will get a little walk in or something.

Your drops are incredible!!! I'm so super jealous!

[Ratty29]

aww thank you, I am expecting them to slow right down anyday now

just gotta stick at it, your right, if your eating right and working out, there is no way we can't lose

we are going to rock this new year

[PeppermintFatty]

Thanks PF you too, I've been lurking on your thread. I love reading what other people are doing

[Amgarrett616]

Idk why I'm disappointed with a .6 loss. I mean. Day five and 3.8 pounds is NOTHING to be disappointed about. I think it's bc my buddy ratty is losing so much more! Were u cling before stillmans?

Anyhoo, my scale was playing eenie meenie minie mo between 210.8 and 211.2. And everytime it picked 211.2. Errrr. So maybe tomarrow will be another drop.

Yesterday I ate
A boiled egg.
Out for dinner at a Mexican place. Ordered fajita meat. It was great!!
30 small shrip with cajun seasoning for lunch

[Amgarrett616]

Will u update my copy/paste thing rAtty? I can't do it on my phone and I have no computer over the weekend

[Ratty29]

DAY 5
Amgarrett {start date 01/09/12--215 current weight--211.2} -3.8
Ratty {start date 01/09/12--218.25 current weight--207.25} -11

woooooooooooo awesome loss for AmG

Hey somebody very wise wrote the below quote remember it when you think of those 3.8 lbs you have kicked the butt of!

Thanks for all your support this week Amg

I think my loss is so big and fast as I was at a high weight for me and had put on 3 pounds last week. I am so up and down with what I eat, no carbs, tons of carbs, some carbs, tons of carbs I think my body was just pleased to stay low carb and drop. I know its gonna halt very soon but I guess thats why I am so lucky to have all the lovely peeps here to prop me up when I want to dive head first into a chocolate fountain

why am I so soppy tonight

[Amgarrett616]

Hahaha yeah, guess I did say that. Lol

I did some math and I started 12/6 with mayo clinic grapefruit juice diet for a month then started this. And since 12/6 I have AVERAGED .43 pounds per day. I think to maintain a loss of .43 a day for nearly 6 weeks is awesome. If I can keep that up, I'll be where I wanna be in no time. And I think I can do that!

I'm super impressed by ur loss ratty!! Even if u stall a little eventually, u have lost so much u have some wiggle room!
