    How Long Can You Go???

    Starting a new challenge, and I hope alot of you will jump in and participate. Its a new "How Long Can You Go without Cheating" challenge. My first goal is one week, and I'm going to start adding it week by week. If I get through the first then I go for another. If I screw up, I have to post it in my siggie for a week, and start over. And you get the reward of posting "cheat free for ___ weeks". Maybe I will be able to get one of the technical know-howers to make us some blinkies for our siggies. Who wants to join me? Sign on up!

        you beat us to it. the ADBB graphic artist is working on getting some cheat free counting logos like we had in the original cheatfree challenge back in 2003. When they are ready I'll have her give y'all the link and we can get everybody to join up. I know having to come here and take down that logo number from our siggy kept many folk from giving in when tempted.

                I haven't cheated since I've started. But then again, I'm an "all or nothing" kinda girl. What do you mean by cheating anyway - is it just an extra ounce of cheese or a full fledge munch out?

                  No, I mean like one of the kid's french fries, or a thin slice of cheese cake, or anything not on the list for induction or whatever rung you are on. I'm not sure an extra ounce of cheese would constitute a cheat by most people's standards. Some of us may have a harder time than others. I'm happy for you though, that you have had such great success. Congratulations!

                    I haven't cheated since I began Atkins, but the temptation has been there on several occasions where it was so strong I had to nap or have a little temper tantrum to get over it lol. This challenge will help me keep myself in check I think. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one that struggles with the thought of cheating!

                      I've did wonderful on Atkins for the first year, but I have such a long way to go, and there have been BIG periods where I got tired of it, had one snack, and it took literally months for me to get back on. So, thats good motivation to not take that "one little bite" of something not on the list. Good for you, too, for being so strong! You could already post "Cheat Free for ___ Weeks" for however long you've been doing this WOL!

                        in the old challenge every one defined cheating on Atkins for themselves and I was amazed at the range of what a cheat was. for me it was one carb more then allowed of course I didn't even consider allowing carbs of not allowed foods. Others made the destintion of only eating high carb foods as a cheat and could over eat their Atkins.

                          My willpower sucks big time! We all struggle in one way or another. While sticking to the plan isn't hard for me, having JUST one fry would be! I mean it. I could NEVER have just one.

                          I've been following Atkins since the early 90's. Then about 1 year or so ago, I had the one proverbial fry and that was the beginning of a year and a half binge. I admire the fact that you can eat in moderation. I really do. You're the one that should be congratulated!

                              I'm going to hop in here, I think it will help me a lot to know I have to be accountable here too. Hey, it works because every time I even THINK about anything with caffeine in it, I think of having to confess that to Jimmie! Love you, Jimmie!

                              Went to my fave Mexican restaurant today and those chips and salsa were sitting in front of me... oh man, I love those. But I didn't touch a single chip again - I'm getting stronger than those things finally too and I had an induction legal lunch again.

                              I've been cheat free since June 26 and had put that in my siggy already so I'm glad to find this challenge. Thanks, maribelle!
