3 weeks with no cheats challenge

[AsmallerME]

Can I join for the next two and a half weeks? I've been lc/judding, but know I lose best with stills. So I'm going to slightly rotate my calories and do stillmans food.

Today was a down day, so I had chicken twice and nothing else. I'm up 10 from my sig and want to return to that and see new lows before Thanksgiving.

1 cookie probably won't stall you but even if you see a loss tomorrow don't take that to mean you can eat a cookie every day! Thats what I always do its not the first cheat that screws me up its the 3 and 4th

Of course you can! the more the merrier!

You have until Nov 22nd right? I had to ask but I think thats what they told me, you have lots of time!

[AsmallerME]

Yep, I have time. I'm hoping to be down 16 in four weeks by my sons birthday.

Down 1.4 Tomorrows weight might show no loss. Yesterday we ran errands until 10 at night. I did not get to eat dinner or get most of my water drank.
I could have eaten but by the time I got stuff put away and the kids in bed it was almost midnight. I can't eat that late.

I am also down 1.4 today that was after being the same weight yesterday as the day before so I am thinking if I see a loss every other day that is still a good thing!

That is really good. I would be thrilled with .5 a day or a pound every other.

[Mar922]

If I see a .2 or .4 gain I just think it will come off tomorrow, the body fluctuates I don't stress about it, anything higher I look at what I ate the day before. BUT if I see a .2 or .4 loss you better believe I am counting it! I am a little funny when it comes to my weird so I am making a confession.

If I lose .2 I am depressed it is such a SMALL number. If I gain .2 it is the biggest number ever!

[Mar922]

If i only lose .2 at first I am depressed but after a while .2 is still a loss, but I know what you mean after doing this a while I got very scale obsessed

Me too!! The scale is either my best friend or worst enemy. Nothing in between.

so dinner was good, a few hiccups with the menu not being the same as online but they still had the steak so I went with that and I brought the sides home for my BF.

[BrattyS]

Down .8 this morning. We ended up going to Six Flags yesterday. I shared a smoked turkey leg with my daughter for dinner. Yum! The hubby and kids also had fresh popped kettle corn. I was good and didn't have any. Because my weigh has been coming off so well, it was easy to say no.

Great choice! I hope I can behave the next time I have to go out to eat in November.

[Mar922]

I am down to 156.4 today staying on plan was worth it!

It was hard to stay on plan because they messed up my steak and so while everyone else was eating I had to sit and wait and they kept trying to give me free bread and soup or a salad haha

woohoo on the .8!

UP .6 today. Not a surprise. I ate more than normal yesterday. Nothing off plan, just more.

[Mar922]

I am the same today it seems to be a pattern lose a day (or two) maintain a day (or two) or it could be the of extra fat I had yesterday, I figured it was the lesser of 2 evils a little fat or all the junk food I could get my hands on haha

[Mar922]

Up .6 today

I had broth last night plus there are normal fluctuations that go up and down too, won't let it get me down!

[BrattyS]

Had another day of eating more so I did not weigh today. I will tomorrow since it is my 2 week mark.

Food cravings seem to be in control today. I have no appetite at all today.

The last 2 days I have been super hungry, I hope the low appetite starts soon I can't remember how long it too last time.

That means I will be at 1 full week tomorrow! That was easier than I thought

The week did go fast! Each day seems painfully slow but I am still surprised it has been a week.

[Mar922]

I had shirtaki noodles with chicken breast and fat free cheese for lunch and will be having steak (or steaks) for dinner hope I see a loss tomorrow!

[BrattyS]

I am up 2.6 from Sunday. I am not worried about it tho. I am back to normal eating amounts and that will probably be gone tomorrow.

So I only lost 1.6 this week. Crappy but I will take it!

Total loss over the 2 weeks is 10.8 Not bad at all.

I expect to see at least 3 pounds gone next week.

[Mar922]

10 pounds is good! I hoped to be down 10 pounds in 2 weeks but my body doesn't want that haha

I am still at 157 today , I was atleast hoping to be down to the weight I was before cuz I only lost 3lbs this week, but its still down 3.... Not sure why I am not losing, maybe too much fat? or sweetener?

Too much fake sugar stalls me. If I drink crystal light all day the scale barely moves. I started drinking it half strength and it works. The flavor is really diluted but at least it isn't plain water.
The extra fat will also slow it down.

3 pounds is pretty good. That is my goal for each week.

Around 3 pounds a week or 10 a month. More is always great but I do not expect it.

Yeah I dilute my crystal light too, once I lose the initial weight my goal is to lose 2.5-3 pounds a week but if I didn't lose lots at the beginning is it going to be slower than 2.5 now? I don't mind being super strict with my diet but I want to see results! haha

[Mar922]

I ran out of milk for my coffee this morning so I had black coffee with a bit of splenda and then I had a super bad headache until 2pm today so I didn't eat until then and I then I had a couple eggs and have had some chicken throughout the day.

So I have had a very clean day today aside from a little splenda in my coffee, we will see how this shows on the scale tomorrow but I don't think I coyuld eat like this long term I need the little things like a splash of milk and some Crystal light! to make this bearable haha

I am so happy my heart forced me to give up coffee. I could have never done stillmans. I could not live without sugar and flavored creamer.

Hope you have an easier day tomorrow!

I am off to bed hungry. My stomach started complaining an hour ago. I definitely prefer it to a bloated feeling.
