Re: How Long Can You Go???

How about having your own "Chinese Night" at home. You could make the Mock-Cauli Fried Rice and some stir fry. You could even make it fun and get chop sticks and have your daughter make Asian themed decorations.

Kisland,

As much as I would like to, that won't work for tomorrow night as we will be on the road - traveling out of town.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Just dropped in to say yesterday was Week 2, Day 5 Cheat Free for me, and I'm still going strong. I'm down to 185.5, only 5.5 pounds of my mini-goal of 180 by 9/28 when we go to the races. Hopefully I'll be there soon and will be able to drop my mini-goal another 10 pounds. Since today was the 4 week mark for me I took all my measurements this morning and recorded them in my journal stats. It's nice to know I'm losing inches as well as pounds. Well I hear my exercise bike calling my name, so gotta run. Keep up the good work, everyone!!

Hi everyone, a big thank you to the leaders here who take the time to respond to posts and show such amazing support. Kudos! You really stay on top of things!

Well celebrate with me, after WEEKS of sitting at 193, I had a miraculous 4 pound WHOOSH overnight! I happily changed my ticker and can say that this cheat free challenge is definately working for me. I realize its me that makes the final desicion whether I cheat or not, but this forum just keeps me accountable. Woohoo!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

WHOOSH The WHOOSH fairy came to me when I was sleeping, and took the 3 pounds I had gained, and an extra 1/2!!! So now I am down 240.5! Now I know what I need to do.... exactly what I did yesterday! LOL! No, I know I need to keep this going now! Next time the Whoosh Fairy comes, I would like to be taken below what I have been before! That would be so nice!!!!

It rained last night! Cold front supposed to be here! My house is still HOT, but I pray it cools down today! That would be so nice!

I am off to work now! Have a blessed day all!!!!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Tirtle, don't you just love when that happens!

Another cheat free day for me. I also wanted you to know that we are heading out of town this evening and won't be home until Sunday night. I'm not sure that I will have access to the internet, so if I don't I will not be able to post until Sunday p.m. or Monday a.m. at the earliest. Just didn't want you to think I fell off the face of the Earth.

Please wish me luck for these next few days that I can hold strong and stick with this way of eating. It's so easy at home and can be so difficult away. I will have a cooler packed and I'm holding off on weighing in and measuring until Monday a.m. to help keep myself accountable and on track.

If I don't talk to you before, have an awesome cheat-free weekend everyone!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Thanks everyone for the Congrats for my Anniversary and for the great support and advice about going to a restaurant for my Anniversary. My husband is very supportive and knows how nervous I am about going out to eat so he offered that we stay home and he'll cook a nice dinner but (I know this sounds terrible) I need a day away from the kids with just the hubby. I am a stay at home mom with my 2 1/2 year old twin girls and also I watch 2 other children so it is nice to get away for some breathing room. I also can't pass up the opportunity to go shopping afterwards!!!! We are going out of town so I am not familiar with too many of the restaurants there however, the one we are thinking about going to I know has lobster and I do love lobster. I know they serve salad and bread with flavored dipping oils before the meal so as long as I pass up the bread I think I will be fine.

CONGRATS!!!!!! Starmaker on your weight loss!!!!!Your in the 80's now YEAHHHHH!!!
Great job!!!!TirtleBaby...Gotta love that Whoosh Fairy!!! (I hope one visits me soon too)

I hope everyone has a great cheat free day!!!!!!

I feel you on that. When I did this woe the last time I ate like a pig, even when I wasn't hungry, because I thought that is what I was supposed to do. Today I've made up my mind officially that it wasn't cool and I'm not going to force myself to do nothing but drink my water, and exercise (but that's a lil later )
Keep the Excellent work up Stephie!!!
