Hey Star!

Congratulations on the TWO WONDERFUL POUNDS lost!!! Is this the lowest you've been so far on the program? You are doing fabulous!!

Me...another morning...today Matt (DH) is off work and we didn't have to get up at 4 am -- 5:30 am on Fridays! Woo Hoo! Extra sleep! ZZZZzzzz...I'm usually so tired during the week that I think I'm going to have to make myself go to bed earlier even if the sweetie patootie isn't ready.

Well, I'm looking out the window to another glorious day and the fact that it is FRIDAY really makes it feel like it is already a GOOD DAY!

I hope everyone is ready for the weekend 'cause here it comes! I don't think I'm quite a size smaller yet even though my clothes are looser. What about you? Just think how much better we feel and our clothes fit since we first started this eating program. That is enough to cheer about! And the fact that it is behind us...we are going into new territory every day (at least for me) that I hadn't been in for about two years and I'm very happy about that.

Onward; forward; healthier -- here we come!

Kat, ok, so I can't figure out how to pull out a piece of your words and quote them in the light colored box...but I am so excited about your word about going into territory you have not been in for some time! That has to be an amazing feeling for sure! I am so proud of you! YOu will carry that feeling and those loose clothes with you everywhere today...it brings such a change to our whole carriage!

Morning peeps! Thanks Kat (hug) I am on 4 hours sleep and 2 sugar free Rockstars so forgive me if im babbling, its caffeine induced. Yes this is the lowest I've been on this plan even though I've been on Atkins for what 4 years now? Im afraid I was rife with frankenfoods for the first 3 years. Im a dummy. Since giving up frankenfoods completely and moving my butt, the 78 pounds came off, and its still coming. Seems since I hit 195 its coming off a little easier. Hope I dont jinx myself saying that.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Morning guys!

It's hard to believe that I'm still cheat free, even after indulging in cake last night, but I am!

That's right...I was still having those crazy cravings for birthday cake, so I made the 3 minute chocolate cake, paired with mocha frosting (they're both on Linda's site). Here I am on rung 3 and it didn't even occur to me that I could probably trade in my cravings for something legal. I'm happy to say that as of right now, my cake cravings are gone! It's about time too...I was getting a little frustrated with that recurring urge to find the nearest birthday party and crash it.

You all are doing so good! Sometimes it just amazes me how big this thread has gotten and we're getting new people joining almost every day!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Well another day down cheat free! I've lost another pound this morning, 10.5 lbs in 12 days of being cheat free! Hey this WOE works when you don't eat foods that aren't allowed!

Starmaker! You're such a sweetie I'm so happy for you getting down below where you've been with your weight! That has got to be exciting.

Kat - you're such a bundle of joy around here! Glad to hear you got some extra sleep today! TGIF!!!

Have a good cheat-free day everyone!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

checking in to report I cheated yesterday. I was at the vancouver aquarium and my bf and I had lunch there. I ordered a ceszer salad to be good, but the chicken had breading on it.

So I am starting over today.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

OMG! I can't believe this is up to 139 pages!!! Well, I have to join! That is my main issue right now, trying to get and stay cheat free. I am so far, day one cheat free. I can't tell you how hard it was. But after a trip to the fabric store and looking for patterns and realizing how little "fat" patterns there were and how horrible the ones they did have looked, cheating went totally out of my head for the day!

so that is it for me, one day down!

Welcome to the challenge JuJu! Glad you're here!

Thanks for the encouraging words!! You're sweet!!

At the bottom right of a person's post there is a button called, "quote". If you click on that, it will automatically do a reply with the person's post in the little light colored boxes.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Well, I blew it again yesterday! I feel like I am in a downward spiral this week. I am back on again today and plan to sit down with some recipes and plan things out for the week. I will go back to strict induction. I am feeling very bloated and not too happy about it. Gotta get that water in.

It's going to be a busy weekend so I don't know how much I will be able to check in. Have a good one everyone.
