You can do it!

BBQ means... hamburgers... hot dogs ........ bunless of course ... grilled veggies ...... Just think of having to come here and let us all know that you made it cheat free! That may help... I know it does me.

You are right. I can totally do it!

It's only a few short hours out of my night and then the food will be gone.
And honestly....."Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels"
I'll just remember that...eating crap will be a momentary joy that leads to carb cravings, weight gain, and all that horrible stuff.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Hi!
Thanks for the PM reminding me. I know I don't check in every day. I should. This challenge is working. I'm on day 12 and have lost 7 pounds!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Another day cheat free, another 2 pounds gone! I have to work on getting all my water in today. I didn't do that yesterday. I was too low on my calories yesterday too, but will try to do better today. It's supposed to be 110 degrees today and tomorrow, so I'm afraid I won't even feel like eating again. Better go get my walking done now though, before it gets too hot for that too.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Hey there- wanted to join the cheat free challenge is it too late or can I still join in??? I started my Induction on July 10th and have been cheat free since then. Does sniffing the donut box count!!!!! LOL

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Sorry I didn't check in more yesterday guys,

My parents came home from their 3 month vacation, so I went to visit them. I love my parents absolutely to death, but I tend to get overstressed when I'm around my mom. They brought us a TURTLE from Oklahoma, so we've been running around trying to find a proper habitat for the little guy. I told her that I was on Atkins, and like with everyone else in my family, she didn't listen to a word I said and I had to repeat myself half a dozen times before she finally said "Oh? You've lost some weight?" Grrr.

The urge to cheat was so strong last night I really thought I was going to do it. I caught myself trying to justify cheating. "It's been well over a month, you deserve a treat" and "What's the big deal? It's only one evening" Pshh..if it were one evening, I'd allow myself to do it once a week...and it would spiral out of control. The little devil on my shoulder is a crafty little snot. Instead, I had a double serving of induction friendly cheesecake and two diet rite 0's. Not what I would normally do, but it was that or let the cravings win. I do have to say though that after this cheesecake is gone, I am NOT making anymore for awhile...it's too tempting to eat more than one portion at a time when I'm trying to justify cheating.

You all are doing so incredible! Thanks for listening to my blather...I'm so glad someone does! Sometimes it seems like you guys are the only ones that understand what I'm giving up in order to do this properly, because you are doing it too. At least I don't feel completely alone. I love you guys for that.

hey....

[cristylp]

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Way to go, Christine!! It's really satisfying to not give in to those temptations, isn't it?

Welcome to everybody new also!

Hey.... I just finished 86 minutes/5.00 miles on the treadmill.... yay me!

[ImCommitted]

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Cristylp awesome job on the treadmill. Doesn't it feel good to know you've exercised?

I have officially completed 1 week 4 days of induction cheat free! Weight was falling off great the first week, and has come to a grinding halt . Now I'm just sitting here waitin' on that "whoosh fairy" to swoop down and grab 3 or 4 pounds!

Will be cheat free today and have gotten my exercise in too!

Keep cool! It's going to be 100+ here today and tomorrow! YIKES!

[staziaw]

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Yesterday was cheat-free! Yippee!

My back is still barking from my stupid shoe-wearing walk on Sunday, but I'm getting better. I still managed to walk 4 miles yesterday (1 mile to and from work and 2 miles at lunch).

I'm off to Denver on business tomorrow. I'll check back in on Monday!

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend!
