This forum is the only thing that keeps me pumped. ha

yeah i work 9-5 mon-fri so today i've been drinking one bottle every hour so by 5 i have 8 down!

Yes, it's a race to Beat MaryLouise. 12 pounds is the goal. The weigh in hasn't started yet. It may be Monday.

I was trying to link her thread in here but I accidently put her journaL. But if you go to atkins 72 then you'll see her thread called Dr. Robert Atkins 72' extended induction. Just go and say your in. We can beat her

idk how you drink 10 bottles of water a day! lol the most i've been able to consume is 8 and that was me forcing myself all day long. the water has been my main problem so far. and i was planning on copying your diet you are donig so amazing!

Caitlyn, something true about water. Once you get yourself doing it, you will actually start craving it. And it is good for you

Omg me too! I'm used to having it at least 4 or 4 times a week! And to go from that to none is killer! And you are lucky inhave one next to my house and job!! Lol but last night I added some crystal light to my water for the first time and it satisfied my sweet craving

[Caitlyn515]

DAY 5:
1 can of tuna w/ 1 tsp mustard
2 chicken breast
1 "tuna burger"
1 egg
1 cheese stick
11 bottles of water I finally did it!

This morning when I weighed myself I was 164.2
Down 4.8 lbs since April 1st

Hi! I'm new to using message boards and so glad I found this site! I lived this WOE for many years before I had my child and lost my way. After my divorce I lost some weight on WW (mostly by doing core plan) and then gained it all back. (I was always hungry and started having hormone issues.) Now I'm ready to go back to my happy weight!! So starting Stillmans QWL tomorrow. I still have my paperback, yellowed copy! So glad to see others having success on this diet and other lc plans.
I'm ready to join in and take April on! We can do this!

Doing the challenge will not affect . You still eat to your plan...OR you can do like Frances {Its Time} and do several at once ....she thinks she is gona beat me and she has gathered her friends to help someone win...well I have a few tricks up my WOE..She ant seen nothing yet. I'm gona kick my 12 to the curb so fast it will feel like a gentle breeze:cool :

[marylouise]

I see Frances has logged off...she probably is at church....don't know what time zone she is in..BUT she will be back :-)

[lmg607]

The weekend was a Bomb. I absolutely have to gain willpower when it comes to alchohol. My goal this week is to not cheat. I'm up two pounds (169), but am starting back strong today. I will post my journal tomorrow. Caitlyn, you had me right on facebook.

[pixistix19]

ohhh my gosh. How do you ladies drink your coffee(if you drink it at all)? I just attempted to drink black coffee this morning and I just couldn't do it!! Please tell me there is another way?!

[lmg607]

Wow don't you try eliminating coffee, and then when you can't...black coffee won't taste so bad. That's what I did. lol

[pixistix19]

haah oh my gosh I don't know if I could do that.....I'll have a major headache by the afternoon!

[lmg607]

I posted in the other forums, but I am doing the Mary Louise challenge along with an added challenge.
The added challenge is to do the following each day for 7 days:
8 bottles of water
30 min exercise
20 wall pushups
Start weight for today: 169
