How Long Can You Go???

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Eight days cheat free for me. Welcome aboard Hollie Hobbie. Angeleieze, 19 days??? That's awesome! You are doing a great job sticking with it. I know how it can be with husbands and cheating. My hubby is doing induction too, but he likes to modify it. I just keep telling him he can do what he wants, but to leave me to sticking with induction to the letter.

I know if I cheat it'll be a long road back. I quit smoking 1/5/06 (192 days ago) and I had quit so many times before and just had one (thinking it wouldn't hurt and that I could jump back into my quit). That put me on a road to failure every time. I am taking the same attitude this time, no cheats, no excuses and I will be successful.

Kat, you are doing a fantastic job too! Congrats on a clean induction this week... And thanks for being our cheerleader!!! Have a cheat-free day everyone!

HI EVERYONE!!!!!

Sorry I was MIA! I spent the night at a relative's out in the country without internet, so I was LOST!! But I stayed the course, I did I did!

OK....trying to catch up on you all is TOUGH!!! But I'll do my best!

Dawnimmel: WELCOME!!! And you're just about to complete your first week clean! Can't wait to see that 1 week button tomorrow!!!

Christine: So sorry you're losing your favorite waitress! That's gotta be hard. There's one I really like at a restaurant in Topeka, but my DH doesn't get it. She's just so sweet and consistant...gotta love it! Good for you for all that healthy shopping! Its so liberating to be able to get through the store without buying trash to eat, isn't it???

Cristy: You GO girl!!! Way to pick yourself up after a fall! We all fall...we're human, but to get back up and keep going again...You're SUPERWOMAN!!!

FedUp: WAY TO GO making it through another couple days! You're rockin' and rollin' to a newer you!

Starmaker: WELCOME!!! Day 5 is shining for ya, and so far its cheat free! Keep it up!

ImCommited: Passing up mac and cheese takes some doing!!! Good job...I was in the same boat the other day and almost took a spoonful out of habit just after I had added the cheese sauce. I dropped the spoon and took a grateful breath...darn all those old favorites!

Angeleieze: Day 20! WAY TO GO!!! Welcome to our little playpen, and KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Dophin: Glad to see you're still tootin' along too! Keep the faith, and shiny new button's to boot!

Kat: You're our champion of the day! The way you greet everyone and keep up is AMAZING!!! I don't know how you do it, but sure am grateful that you do!!! You deserve those looser clothes!

Holli_hobbie: Welcome!!! You're going to get induction flu within the first few days, but hey, drink lots and lots of water, and hold the course, because soon you'll be feeling SO GOOD!!! Its definitely worth it.

Ok, I'm going to try to catch up the member list. Forgive me if I make any mistakes...its been two days since I updated it I think, and there are so many new members. Have a GOOD weekend everyone!!! I'm so proud of ALL OF YOU!!!!

Morning everyone, this is Day 5 coming on for me cheat free. I don't usually cheat straight out except during PMS and Tom, L-Glutamine helps with that but lately..well maybe I should up my dose during those times heh heh I'm weak! This forum is rockin and I'm glad to be a part of it. Pass the chicken?

Just FYI, I count the days you've been cheat free, and then I put day whatever you are on right now...for example: So and so is 7 days cheat free, therefor he/she is on 1 week, day 1. Reading through I realized it may be confusing. GOOD WORK EVERYONE!!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

So far I made it through the weekend. 9 days so far and I didn't go near the b-day cake....Dawn

[IhateMyFat]

Re: How Long Can You Go???

I've made!!!! I am so proud of myself for doing this right. Last night I went out and didnt cheat, I drank water the whole night and nibbled on little cubes of cheese I carried with me....

Well done guys for doing so well...

Good luck to all

[FedUpWithFat]

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Good job Dawn on passing up the b-day cake. It wouldn't have been worth it!

I got my Day 2 button this morning, and will be back to my 1 week button before you know it. AND, am back in Onderland again! I won't slip up this time and blow it! I'm down 10 pounds now in 11 days. It's aggravating that it might have been more if I hadn't had cheated, but I can't turn back the clock so I will learn from my mistakes. No more eating out until I am sure I am strong enough to resist temptation!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Hey everyone!

Congrats to everyone, and welcome to the new challengers! This thread is so active I usually have to go back a few pages to catch up!

kat, you're so awesome! You're truely our cheerleader...so inspiring!

No cheats for me! Restaurant eating is a pain though...I wasn't tempted to cheat, but not knowing exactly what may be in some legal things is frustrating and I think next time I go out to eat I'll just stick to meats and a side vegetable...no salad...it's too unknowable.

With the heat reaching 111° today, I'm really starting to worry about my WoE and exercise. I can't force myself to move (with the exception of lots of walking in air conditioned stores) and I haven't done my stair or sit up challenge in the past three days. I think though, that as long as I'm concentrating on my food, and making sure I get at least a little exercise throughout the week, I can pick it up a little more seriously when it starts getting cooler.

I have to finish my shopping today, and I have my weekly coffee night with my best friend this evening. I skipped my morning cup, so I'm allowing myself 2 cups tonight

Hugs to all, keep up the good work!

Something to consider after you finish your two weeks of Induction: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...254#post454254

Christine don't wear yourself out in the heat, only exercise inside of an AC building, please, I don't want you to hurt yourself!!!

Glad to see you Mari, I knew you didn't mess up!!! I have faith in you!!!

Where is Tommy?

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Since I blew it over the weekend I thought I might as well go to Starbucks this morning for my very favorite treat. But the guilt won over and I didn't do it. I re-started TODAY, not tomorrow. I comforted myself with a mock danish instead, all legal!

Tomorrow I'll have a button again.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Good job cristyl! So hard to just jump back in but you did it!!! whoooo hoooo!!!

I am just goign with the days in my siggy tho cause I don't know that I will have time to update it with the buttons and stuff but they are oh so cute!!!! i may get them from month to month tho!!!!!

Well!!! ttyl!

[maribelle]

Re: How Long Can You Go???

CONGRATS EVERYONE!!! YOU'RE DOING SO WELL!!!

It seems through my reading that I'm seeing so many "I almost, but I didn't" posts...and I'm just so proud of all of you for sticking to your guns no matter what!

Dawn: Way to go passin' up that cake!

IHateMyFat: Way to go stickin' to the cheese!

FedUp: Look at you! I bet you'll be back in keto tonight or tomorrow morning! GOOD FOR YOU!

Christine: Stay cool, hon! We don't want our challenge champion to have heat stroke, and then get stuck on carb laden hospital food! Its hot here today too! At least 110 today. Walking outside feels like a sauna!

Dolphin: Thanks for missin' me! I don't know where Tommy is!!! If someone sees him in another forum sneakin' around, kick his hiny back here!

Cristy: You scared me girl! I saw the word Starbucks, and I thought "Oh no!! She didn't!!" But see, we were your invisible force field blocking you from buying that coffee! PROUD OF YOU!

Rikki...aka loser4life: Welcome to our challenge! Glad you could join us! I'm adding you to our list. Way to go on what you've accomplished already!

another FYI note: There are a couple people who signed on for this challenge, and then never came back. Although I'm hoping the best for them, there are getting to be too many members for me to keep updating the missing ones. From now on if people haven't posted in over a week without telling us ahead of time that they won't be, I'm going to move their name to an "inactive members" list, which they will stay on for another week, without my updating their CF dates. If they come back, active status will be returned. If not, I'll have to remove their names. Is everyone ok with that? I'll be happy to take suggestions about it in a pm. THANKS!!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

I've read most of it I'm still confused about the book and diet but I'm learning.
Thanks for the tips.
