Another HUNDRED DAYS!

[goldcupmom]

Another day done. I am totally addicted to Blueberries & Ice Cream. 1 c ice crm is 4 pts & 1 c blueberries is 1. Mixed up & looking nasty, but SO GOOD!!

 

[keenercam]

Julie -- sounds great. I am a salty dessert girl myself. Just had 20 mini pretzels (2 pts). YUM!
I am finished day 25!

I've been an awful challenger I just can't find the will power to do this.

I keep restarting doing fine during the day but the ending up and grabbing junk at the end. I made it clear till almost bed time last night then at 4 chocolate chip cookies

Some how some way I have to do this. The jeans I have on today are very snug around the middle so hopefully that will help to keep me away from the junk.

Wish me luck everyone. My trip is quickly aproaching and I need to do this!!!!

Minnie, I know what you mean about the night-time snacking...What I did this week was put the scale in the kitchen...it was a pain in the butt to have it in there, but whenever I wanted a snack I got on the scale and it reminded me I didn't need the snack, I just "wanted" it. YOU CAN DO IT!!!

I haven't checked in here in a while, but I am now 20% complete. Yesterday was day 20 for me, and even though every day is a struggle, I am trudging on.

Keep up the great work everyone!!! You guys are doing awesome!!!!!

I am through day 26, with 1 daily point and 2 APs to spare. Did 30 minutes on the elliptical tonight for my cross-training session. 3 nights in a row of working out!

I am finishing day 17 tonight, but just making it. I baked cookies tonight for a going away party for a coworker tomorrow, and couldn't control myself. I ate 6 points of cookie dough, and then I had two cookies with a scoop of ice cream in the middle- about 6 points. I had already used up my points for the day, but had earned 3 aps and used my fps. I only have 7 fps left for the party tomorrow. I hope I can do it. Only 3 more days til 20%, so I need to control myself. I'm premenstrual too, and that doesn't help. I should have come on here before baking and gotten some motivation.

Minnie- hang in there. You can do it It's hard but so worth it.

Disneyfanz and goldcupmom- you are doing great. Like the scale in the kitchen idea. I don't have a scale, so can't do that.

Cam- I just want to thank you for starting this thread and for all the wonderful support and kind words you always send. You are an inspiration to all of us.

Hey, Kathy! So glad you updated. How great that you are 17 days cheat-free. That is more than 2 weeks!! Awesome! Now, you HAVE to come up with a plan for tomorrow. I would suggest an extremely low point breakfast, but something filling like oatmeal or bran cereal, and a salad for lunch or dinner so that you will have some points set aside for a nice treat at the party. I KNOW you can do it, and I can't wait to hear tomorrow how it went.

Oh, and believe me, you guys are really helping me to stay on track. I feel very loyal and accountable here and really, really appreciate the support. So, while it may appear altruistic, my motives are a bit selfish too!

Keep up the great work, everyone!

Sweets for me, Cam, except PMS when I crave salt & vinegar chips which I otherwise can NOT stand!!! Kind of like my DNiece in FL who had never had coffee in her life without getting ill until she got pregnant and now is totally addicted!

Day 30 is done and yes, I had dreyers grand light vanilla w/ frozen blueberries.
As long as I budget points to include that in my day, I feel like I've cheated when I haven't.

 

[mikamah]

Cam, thanks for the suggestions. I usually have cereal before I go to work and then oatmeal midmorning, but I think I'll skip the early cereal and have the oatmeal-2 pts, earlier at work. I have leftover chicken, rice and broc-6 points for lunch, and know there will be vegie dip at the party and will stick with vegies before dinner. That will leave me 18 points for the party, plus my 7 flex points if needed. I won't be able to get any exercise in tomorrow, but thurs and fri I can to earn extra points. I can do it It sounds very doable now that it's written down. I'll update tomorrow.

Is it too late to join this challenge?

Is it too late to join this challenge?

Nope, Wendy, never too late! I'll add you to the list of challengers. Just let me know your start date. Yesterday? Today? Have you been cheat-free for a while already?

Good luck, and welcome!

Hey, Kathy -- good luck today, sweetie!

Hi, Julie -- You are the first challenger to post 30 days! Congratulations! Thank you for blazing the trail for us!

 

[Winksst]

Cool!! I'm so glad I can be in on it! I have been cheat free for 12 days. Cheat-free being staying within my points in WW.

Thank you for doing this!

 

[keenercam]

Cool!! I'm so glad I can be in on it! I have been cheat free for 12 days. Cheat-free being staying within my points in WW.

Thank you for doing this!

Great! I will put your start date as 6/2 which gives you 12 days as of the end of yesterday. Congratulations! Keep up the great work and be sure to check in frequently!

Hi everyone. I made it through my day-party and all and managed to use all of my flex points except for 2. I did as I planned at work, and stuck with veggies and a little hummus at the party for appetizers, had a hamburger, one glass of wine, one cookie and a very small piece of strawberry shortcake.(which was delicious) The vegies are so helpful to feel like I'm munching as much as everyone else, but they are free. I didn't feel deprived, and am proud I did it. Day 18 is over!!!!!!!

Hope everyone is having a great day.

 

[keenercam]

Congrats, Kathy! I KNEW you could do it. I am so glad you made a plan and stuck to it. I think at WW they call that "storyboarding" -- I find it really helps to do that. Now you know you can handle challenging situations with planning and determination!

I am through day 27!

 

[goldcupmom]

Day 31 is done and I'm starting to get worried about July. Assuming(and one should NEVER do that) my trip to FL stays on(see my journal) I will be gone for 19 days. And the whole time will be with either DH who is on a vacation/business trip(where he eats/drinks nonstop) or with my DSis's family who don't watch food intake or the quality of food. This is going to be REALLY REALLY rough! They've been known at 10 at night to decide to order bloomin' onions - yes more than one - or Ale House Nachos - which come in a large steamtable tray! Plus, even though she's diabetic she keeps full candy dishes in every room of her house. UGH!!!!!! I could easily undo my year's weightloss in that time and then some!!

 

[Winksst]

Day 14 is almost finished, and will be cheat-free. I'm really proud of myself...I usually have about 3 points left at the end of every day. However, I don't eat breakfast. I wake up *way* too late for that everyday. DD7 and I are both night owls. Thank goodness we homeschool.

 

[keenercam]

Wendy -- Congrats on 2 weeks cheat free!

I finished day 28 yesterday and I have been eating really healthy the past 4 days. I am hoping for a big WHOOSH on the scale next Tuesday night, but first I'll have to get through a very difficult weekend.

Good luck to all our challengers!

BTW, has anyone seen any of our missing challengers? If you see them out and about in DIS board land, please encourage them to come visit and check in with us!

 

[Minnie]

I made it through yesterday cheat free

[mikamah]

This is day 20 for me, and i weighed in at WW and lost 1.2 pounds to make my 10% goal!!!! That also puts me down 5 pounds since I joined you all here on the disboards!!!! You are a very motivating group.

Hope you all have a great weekend.
