Stillman's Shrinking Sunnies losing their Junk in June!!

The more you have to lose, the more you will lose in the beginning. I lost about 7 lbs in the first week, but I only had 35 lbs to lose. So that being said, I lost 1/5 of the weight I needed to lose in the first week. According to your stats, you had 56 lbs to lose... 10 lbs is a little less than 1/5 of that 56 lbs so I think it's safe to expect to lose another couple lbs this week (it may start slowing down) and you'll be at about the same ratio. Sounds like you're just sticking to it perfectly! Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much for you quick reply, greatly appreciated!!

Good afternoon everyone! I am in better spirits today because I was down to 148 flat when I woke up! That's about a 1.6 lb loss. Close enough to 2 lbs for me, I'll take it! The only big difference between yesterday and the day before was that I didn't go to the gym yesterday. Maybe that is what's stalling me. I'm going to go today, though, just for some cardio and no weights. I don't want to get out of the habit of going because I've made a lot of progress. :/ So maybe if the cardio doesn't stall me, I'll just focus on more cardio and less weights from now on.
Also, I'm going to start eating in a Fast Five window today. I think my hours will be 2 pm - 7 pm. I just can't wait until 5 pm to start eating, I'd rather eat during the day and I don't usually eat after 7 pm anyway unless for whatever reason I'm having a late dinner. I'll do the Fast Five/turkey burger diet until Friday and then have two off days over the weekend. Then back to Fast Five/turkey burgers for another 5 days. Hopefully I'll only have to do it for one or two more weeks before I get close enough to my goal that I can just start trying to eat healthy and exercise to lose my last 3 or 4 lbs. I was thinking of doing something more along the lines of the "Inches Off Diet" and add in some meat once or twice a week when I get down to 138ish so that I can lose the inches that I haven't seen go yet. I hope to start that by July 1st so that I can have 3 weeks to trim off inches and hopefully lose 3 more lbs (I think 1 lb a week sounds reasonable if I keep my calories around 1200, my carbs under 100g, and exercise 3-4 times a week) before I leave for my big trip on July 23rd.

That is great news !!!!

Sounds like you have a good plan going there lil lav !

I would see if it hinders your weight loss .... Sometimes you can get away with a lil of the extras that have lil to next to nothing in carbs .... In my case I drink 2-4 cups of espresso on my turkey meal plan days .... straight up black , sure they be small cups however, coffee does contain a trace of carbs ....

[CCGirl]

wow it's a losing frenzy here..........go losers!!!

[Angelstill]

I had my 1/2 lb. of ground turkey burger for dinner & I am full .... Oh, I am looking so forward to my H.B Eggs for breakfast tomorrow lol I am so tired the chicken breast & turkey .... I am looking forward to a juicy steak low carb meal for Saturday .... Oh, and Shrimp fra diavlo on Sunday ! I watched man vs food and I chuckle he's looking mighty plump there he may need the turkey meal plan soon !

[Angelstill]

I am going to down some more water .... Go for my walk, I take my lil 3lb pooch lola with me ....
I want to be in lower decade by the end of June .... I am on my android now and texting can be a bit of a challenge
...

[Angelstill]

I have a low carb strawberry salad recipe .... And grilled steak for Saturday .... I would start giving some thought
for a healthy meal plan.... I am doing my belly dance routine on Friday .... I still have not forgotten I need to purchase a hoola hoop this weekend .... Oh, and I read a glass of wine and dark chocolate is considered healthy ....
I love that concept ....

[SillyErin]

Yay Lavender !!!! I'm so glad you had a loss today!!

I'm so glad my turkey burger plan is working for you guys! Once you get closer to goal you may want to alternate weeks or use turkey burger days every other day and replace the other day with a regular Stillmans day. You don't want to let your body get used to it.

Keep cycling!

Cycle the cardio too - and weight training definitely holds the water and stimulates appetite.

[annieb79]

Ahhh, just ate 1/2 c of cottage cheese on my first Turkey day...


Considering the food I have to be around in my house, if that's my only "cheat", I'll take it.

Will try again tomorrow.

Oh, & first time having Kirland turkey patties. They're great! Extra lean was no joke! Not one drip of liquid seeped out of the Forman grill!

[SrfrGirl]

OMG! I stopped doing the Silly Erin Turkey theory and gone straight Stillmans with fish and have lost much more weight! I am so happy and feel amazing! Adding the FF cheese has really helped, as well as fish added, and for some reason the weight is falling off. Not sure why but Stillman knows his stuff.
This really works!
My metabolisim has taken off. I guess we are all different! Bikini shopping now. Doing weight training with the boyfriend. Finally updated my weight stats.
My foods:

Eggs
Tuna
Mahi Mahi
Halibut
FF cheese
My local whole foods grocery makes fish patties so I am buying those instead of Jennie-o turkey.

My old bikini was too loose at the beach while surfing. Need a new one. Hooray!

I'm going to keep on. This is magic. It works! works works!

I lose best eating fish too!

[Mim]

Good morning! And sigh. I have a picnic I have to go to on Saturday. Again, it will be easy to be low carb but not low fat, and not the close to zero carbs I need to be on in order to lose. But the good news is that after Saturday, I don't have anymore meetings/events that will involve food! I am going to a graduation party in mid June but no one will notice if I'm eating, and I only have to make an appearance, so I won't stay long enough to get hungry! I'm off to my breakfast meeting - have a great day everyone!

[Angelstill]

Congratulations to all of u losers! I am down 3 lbs this morning a total of 7lbs in 3 days .... I am at the half way mark down to a new lower decade ! my neighbor said I am shrinking before her eyes .... I did just walking yesterday
too .... I am doing strict Stillmans today .... I would try more fish to lose weight but I only really care for seafood
oh. me and my shrimps lol I say whatever works for you guys to lose go for it !!!! I am just glad that I have not stalled this month !!!!

[SrfrGirl]

Wow Mim! I think fish is great!



Angelstill, Hooray! I'm so happy! Your weightloss is amazing!

I love shrimp too, and they are very low in cals/carbs/fat.

If I'm honest I don't really like it. Bum bum is good, Sculpt is good and high and tight is boring and I can't stand Cardio Axe.!!!
I'm doing it especially for my backside. All of my fat is on my butt, back and my arms.my arms are toned(well triceps not so much!) but still way too big for my liking, my butt is actually high-I passed the pencil test! Believe me I nearly fainted! It's just a big ole 'bubble butt' though. And I swear I have mire fat on my back than anywhere on my stomach.
It's got nothing on Insanity though-and Leandro isn't a patch on the very lovely Shaun T

That's awesome! Trust me it sucks when you have absolutely nothing especially in dresses it never looks right. I just want a little something.

Wow SrfrGirl, what GREAT progress! Have you lost from 170 to 138 just doing Stillmans?? And only since May 20?

Trader Joes has these awesome salmon burgers, they are not high in fat either- just a few grams I think. I am going to pick some of those up today!

[littlelavender]

Hmm I haven't quite gotten the same results as you guys with the turkey burgers (maybe because I'm so close to my goal?) but I was down .4 today, which puts me at 147.6! It's helped break my stall so I'm okay with it. Maybe it was because of the cardio. I'm not working out today so we'll see if it brings more loss for me tomorrow before my planned off weekends. If I can get to 145 by Saturday, I'd be so happy! Making low carb eggplant parmasean on Saturday and low carb chicken rollatini stuffed with zucchini and skim mozzarella cheese on Sunday! I can't wait to cook again!

And congratulations to the losers! We're doing it, guys!

[BrattyS]

wow The fat is flying off everyone. Congrats to you all.

I did not get on the scale this morning. Had a weird schedule getting the kids out the door and I drank a ton of water. This is day 3 of the turkey. Yesterday was MUCH easier than the first. I am going to go open up my window in about 15 minutes.

I am thinking about not getting on the scale till the end of the month and just be surprised. I am afraid of a fluctuation or small stall throwing me off if I weigh in everyday. I get discouraged too easy right now.

Man vs Food is an awesome show. I am half amazed and half grossed out watching him. I watched a marathon once and was surprised at how thin he was eating like that. As the episodes went by I just watched him get plumper and plumper. He should do stillman between seasons of filming.

i soooooo would give you some of mine!! I think the opposite--a flat butt looks great in dresses--cos a big one just sticks out, you can't tell whether it's toned or not-just looks fat!.....ok though I've really really never got the whole 'i wanna J-Lo butt' thing though!! I guess I just like everywhere small and flat--I'd never have breast implants!! even though I'm an A cup, if I go down to a 32-then a B, if I wear a very tight top sometimes I think whoa-where did those babies come from!!...and believe me I never like it!!

[Getting there!!!]

In Man versus food---do they just sit there eating like hige amounts of food??!! Like hotdog eating comps!! ....i sooooooo could do that with choc--I would win every time peeps!!

Lil lav if you are not getting results with the turkey, then try the fish diet SrFr Girl lost 32 lbs as of May 20 th .... Something fishy may just work for you !!!! I am about to grow feathers with all the turkey I have been eating .... Today is Strict Stillmans today B- 2 H.B eggs mid day espresso L- Tuna Dinner something lean have not decided yet .... I am looking forward to the weekend .... Here is low carb creamy shrimp fra diavlo recipe ....

Creamy Shrimp Fra Diavolo

1 lb. large or jumbo shrimp, peeled and de-veined and de-tailed
1 yellow onion, halved and sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp kosher salt
3-6 Tbl. extra virgin olive oil
1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
1 Tbl. tomato paste
1/2 C. white wine (or chicken stock)
1/4 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 C. heavy cream
2 Tbl. chopped fresh Italian (flat leaf) parsley
2 Tbl. chopped fresh basil leaves
1/2 C. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Toss shrimp with 1 tsp. kosher salt and the red pepper flakes. Heat 3 Tbl. olive oil in a heavy saucepan and saute shrimp for 2-3 minutes, or until they are pink. Set them aside on a plate.
In the remaining oil and drippings, saute the onions with an additional tablespoon or two of olive oil until they are very tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-10 minutes. Add minced garlic and saute a minute more. Add in tomatoes with their juice, white wine, tomato paste and oregano. Simmer for 10 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly.
Stir in cream and heat 1 minute. Add in shrimp with their drippings on the plate and stir, heating 1 minute to meld the flavors. Finish by stirring in the parsley, basil and parmesean cheese. Garnish with additional parmesean cheese and enjoy!
Serves 4

(addition: you could also pan fry some cremini mushrooms and stir these in with the herbs and cheese at the very end. Then give a slight squeeze of fresh lemon and enjoy even more veggies!)

Saturday is Rib eye Steak and strawberry salad .... sliced strawberries, toasted almonds, low fat mozzarella cheese shreds mixed with romaine and topped with sugar free raspberry dressing ..... It makes being good all week worth it .... and it is all healthy low carb yayyyyyy !!!!!

[Phase]

Wow Angel that menu sounds so yummy!! I'm going to make a low carb chicken pizza with white sauce and tomato on saturday! Yay! I'm not hating the turkey yet though. When I do get sick of it I'm going to switch to fish for a few days then back again. I did a few minutes of exercise this a.m. but I think I really need to step it up to maintain any kind of loss.
Down 1.8 lbs this morning.. dropped 2 after the first morning so that's got me feeling jazzed.

[IM2fat]

Sorry I just haven't had time to catch up lately. Busy with my son's graduation and then had several people call in sick so we had some midnight shifts to fill on top of my full time job. I think I will be sleeping the next few days away. . .had a few rough days but I'm back on today. . Holding myself accountable. Even had a plan for a Mexican lunch today but then was stood up. Luckily I always pack my meat!! so no worries.. meat and salad. .the breakfast/lunch of champions. I skipped breakfast so I would have enough wiggle room. . Ahhhh. .

Hopefully I'll have time tonight to catch up. . TTFN

Bratty thank you ! I have a feeling you will be very happy once you weigh yourself again .... And as I mentioned to others if the turkey meal plan is not working , find a WOE that works for you ! As of this morning I heard some amazing weight loss results with fish ....


Awwww Phase that is awesome and please, share the low carb chicken pizza recipe .... it sounds soooo yummy ! I cannot wait for this weekend to enjoy foods with more flavour !!!! I am just very nervous that I may go over board and over indulge .... I will have to behave ....
