Re: How Long Can You Go???

Good Friday Morning everyone. Just a quick check-in to say I'm still going strong, still cheat free. I'm really hoping to see some change in the scales and tape measure soon- it's really starting to look like my body is getting a little too comfortable where it's at- but I'm going to have to show it who's boss and whip some action into it real soon-LOL!!!! Hope everyone has a GREAT cheat free day!!!

Good FRIDAY morning everyone! Its almost the weekend!!!! (Although our's is going to be busier than a week!)

Hey Tommy, glad you came in, fessed, and are ready to pick it back up! Kudo's for continuing your efforts!

Jess... a whooshie is when you suddenly drop some weight, usually after a few days of no loss. As your body loses fat, it holds on to water keeping it at the same weight for a little bit. Than after a few days the water will suddenly "whoosh" out of your system showing up on the happy little scale! Some associate it with the Whooshie Fairy, a superstitious little fairy godmother who goes around controlling the whooshie wand! She better watch out if I find her floating around anyone else!

Christine.... Now its true it may have been easier on you if Guthrie had stayed in OK, but I have a theory that all things happen for a reason, so if your mom hadn't picked up Guthrie, he may just have wandered back into the road and fell victem to the next motorist. So, this has prolonged his life, and I'm sure he's eturtly grateful!

Beccanae....here's wishing you LOTS of willpower on Sunday! I'm going to need it too, as I have about 7 women bringing yummies to my house for a bbq. I'm sticking to the meat, baby!

BeccaRn....Mmmmmmm Tiramisu. That is a recipe one of us needs to come up with Lo Carb. It shouldn't be too hard, considering its cheese and coffee. The hard thing would be coming up with a substitute for the lady fingers. I'll have to think about that one! But I'm glad you resisted. Congrats.

JCapulet and Roxy....awesome on another day down! You are both doing fantastic, and we hope to hear lots more good news like yours! Don't worry Roxy, those numbers will change soon! Its a good sign that they aren't going the wrong way, and Ms. Whooshie will be by to take care of it!

Roshan....sorry about your server problems this morning, but glad to hear you're still tip top! Keep on a being strong!

Lynsey....wow! You respond fast! So glad you popped in, and sorry to hear of your troubles! But you're back and working it, so congrats! Hope that stress lifts soon, and so happy for your pound gone! One step closer to that sleek new you! Just remember....no water= cravings. Other than that, one day at a time! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!

Hope everyone has a FANTASTIC weekend, and lots of strength against any temptations!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Happy Friday! I am on vacation last week so I have some loose ends to tie up here at work before I am off. Sometimes it's more work to be off than if I stayed!

Heading to PA on Sunday. I am going on line to scope out restaurants and menus to see where I can eat and stay on plan. I am not finding too much. It'll be lots of salads I guess? I am praying for strength to stay committed but if I slip, I know you all won't beat me up about it and I will get right back to it on Tuesday!

Have a great one!

Oh -I measured today, down 5 more inches for a total of 10.25 inches!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

I was tempted this morning to get a pastry for breakfast...but said no, I don't want to start over again, and I don't want all my hard work to be for nothing.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

You can start me back at day one tomorrow ! I have to eat banannas and other things high in potassium today. I have been really sick this week and had to go into the ER this morning. When they did my blood work my potassium came back really low, so they gave me two choices take the pills and eat high potassium foods, or go in the hospital and take the potassium drip, been there done that no way. So, begin again tomorrow

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Morning everyone!

Happy Friday! I'm so glad another week's come and gone...that means it's one week closer to October, which makes it one week closer to cooler weather! LOL, I'm all for sweater weather...I'm tired of the unforgiving heat, especially with the muggy afternoons that we've been having lately.

Congrats to you all who've made it another day! Have any of you found it gets easier to pass temptation with each passing day? I like the look of something, or the smell of something, but I rarely look longingly at sweets and pastries anymore. (Cept that damned cake that haunted me for a week!)

Hope you all have a wonderful cheatfree day and a great weekend!

Oh no! I hope you are feeling better Chrisie! I always get worried when I hear about anyone going to the ER...get better soon.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Hello everyone!

Just wanted to report in and say that I'm still cheat-free. It was so tempting this morning to indulge in some pastries. We ordered breakfast for a meeting this morning and there was one pastry with strawberries on top that looked so good. But I passed on it.

Sounds like everyone is doing really well.

Happy Friday!

Great job passing up the pastry...they look good but they're evil! I had the same temptation this morning.

I have lost track of how many days cheat free I have at this point so I am not keeping the blinkie going. Its that time of year when I am back to work and time is shorter for me. I am however still cheat free. Nothing since the infamous rum/diet weekend. I am feeling a difference in my clothes and am looking forward to once again dropping sizes and shopping in my closet!

It is nice to read thru this thread and see just how wonderfully you all are doing. What a great challenge! The people here are giving out some amazing help & guidance each and every day. I say to you all!!
