Re: How Long Can You Go???

pk joining you all
I started July 21st and have not cheated
so I am at 1 week 3 days
do I save the buttons and upload then into my own acct or can we link from where they are posted?

Welcome!

I put the link to the buttons in my siggie area so they would be easy to find.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Just wanted to check in and report that yesterday was 2 weeks, 4 days Cheat Free for me. I've been having some blood pressure problems and not feeling very well. I'm still doing my walking and trying to eat right and get my water in. Tomorrow is the 4 week mark, so if I can remember I will take my measurements to see how I'm doing.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Hey All,

Looks like we're getting new non-cheaters almost daily! That is very awesome. I have been cheat free both yesterday and today. There is definitely something to be said for accountability, and this forum provides just that.

I have a question, other than veggies, is there anything a person eating on this woe can eat at a chinese restaurant? I'm not huge into veggies, salad greens, mushrooms, onions, cucumbers are about it (sad but true). I love meat. The reason I ask is because dd and I are going out of town on Thursday and she wants to stop at this chinese restaurant while we are traveling. I hate to tell her no, but I will if I have to. I will not sit in a restaurant and not eat. Oh, I'm still pretty much in the induction phase.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Well, even though the scale says I gained 2 pounds, I am actually feeling slimmer today . Today was my first full day of using FitDay and I have 17 grams of carbs! I think that I am a little high on the fat though. Does anyone know what the ratio is suppose to be.

Loana - Welcome. I see you are a scrapbooker. I love to go to crops and sometimes go to weekend ones! Wouldn't that be funny if we ended up at one together? Anyway, welcome and good luck.

It is CRAZY hot here so I am going to forgo the evening walk this time. Maybe I will try to get up early tomorrow and do it before the kiddies get up.

Have a wonderful evening everyone.

Do you know if it has a buffet? The chinese buffets usually have some chicken choices without all the veggies and sauces. One I like here even has fish in butter sauce that's legal and grilled chicken breast served a couple different ways. I think the Chinese restaurants are one of the hardest ones to find good choices at though. How about egg drop soup? Unfortunately in the heat across the country, soup doesn't sound that good right now!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Hi y'all, I am doing better today, decided to go down on the caffeine so I am having a bit of a caffiene withdrawel too, cut it from a full two liters which is something like 67.5 ounces to only 12 ounces this evening. Was going to go off cold turkey but would have had to go to bed I could not keep my eyes open and my head was splitting. That little amount was equal to a can and took the edge off the headache and allowed me to wake up. I will continue to cut it down an ounce every couple of days and should be totally off in a week or two. I am happy with that.
Got right back on the wagon yesterday morning and I am doing great. I am determined to see that two week cheat free button again soon and will just consider this a huge lesson. I know I do not want to go through this pain of withdrawel again and the exhaustion of eating the bad foods was not worth it at all. I am determied to beat this addiction. I am glad I have a place to keep myself accountable and find the encouragement I need to stay on track and I look forward to seeing those buttons go up and up.
Will get to put the day two cheat free tomorrow yeah !!! It will be day three for me already so that is good.

I love Chinese so I'm interested in hearing what everyone has to say on this one too!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Hey, I deserve to feel horrible. I knew better and made a bad decision. Had I done what I knew to be right, I would be putting my three week cheat button this week, and now it will be a two day instead, wed being my third day, but I always put my button the next day as I finished that day cheat free the day before. So, it is my own fault and maybe hurting for a few days will make me think twice if I ever am so stupid again !!!!

I do appreciate the support here very much, and am very glad to have people to be accountable to.
thanks, Stephie

Sometimes life (or ourselves) get in the way. However, as long as you never give up, you will eventually reach your goal. Being cheat-free is the best/quickest way to get there. We're here for you!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Okay I am still cheat free. And actually have no real cravings. Hubby and I went to the buffet with his folks and neither of us were tempted by the dessert bar...now how's that for a miracle! My big thing is that darn scale! It is day 8 of induction and I'm stuck at a 5 lb loss...thought I was still losing inches but checked that this morning and nothing great there to report. BUT I'm trying to focus on the fact that this is the first time I can remember that I'm not obsessing about food, planning my next snack...making a grocery run just so I can pick up a cookie or hit the fast food joint. So, psychologically I'm making huge adjustments....just hoping the body catches up! I am not exercising much other than a 1 mi. walk I always do with my daughter. Its just hard with the move coming up. Computer gets packed tomorrow so my checkins will be spotty. Will try to update you by next monday when I think I'll have a connection.

Have a great week everyone!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Would I be able to NOT tell you that I choase to cheat all weekend on my trip? Would I be able to just quietly take a back seat and slowly crawl out of hiding? I knew what I was doing, and I did it! I justified it if there is such a thing, and I ate! Now I didnt go all bonkers (self talk), but one meal a day or 2 wouldnt hurt so bad! Yet 3 pounds later....you get the drift right?

Yesterday began it all again for me! Did I lose in a day? No! But I will lose today I know I will!

I found a new reason to not cheat.... My husband is losing weight, and I dont want him to weigh less than I do!!!! LOL! Is that not redicioulas? LOL! Yet true!

This HEAT could break any time now! I am swetting like crazy! Have a one room a/c on high in my bedroom... still 80 degrees in there, but it beats the 100 degrees out here! No excersising... too dang hot! Water no longer a strong point! I think I need to get thumped on the head or something! Where is the dtermination I had when I started? I will do this.... I will I will I WILL!!!!!
