Another HUNDRED DAYS!

[mikamah]

Congrats Jayna. 100 days is awesome!!!!

I am finishing day 32, and have survived with 3 points to spare. Took a long walk and have 3 activity points if needed, but I'm done eating tonight. I start a new week tomorrow, and want to save the flex points for the fourth. I have a cookout on the 3rd pre-fireworks which are held at the park near us, and have another cookout on the 4th. Planning to make fruit and reg salad, and a weight watchers trifle. And save the flex points for alcohol. I'm also on vacation after tomorrow, and will be going to my sisters place in Maine on wed for the rest of the week, so it will be tough. I have to think thin.

Have a great weekend everyone. Good luck staying cheat free!!

Just checking in. I have now fnished 45 days and I am not going to count tday since it was tough but I made it through. I only got about 4 hours of sleep last night. We were heading to the airport and went to spend the night at my parent's house because they are only 15 minutes from the airport. I didn't want to oversleep so when I woke up at 2:30 I knew that I had only about an hour till I got up so I never went back to sleep. I just got my book and read and watched some tv (rerun of Larry King with Star Jones). We got to the airport at 5AM just when my dh wanted to get there. They had to wait until their entire group got there before they could get on line to check in. The other leader didn't get there until 6. I left them before they got on the security line about 6:15. I got to drive almost home but I had to go to a class at my school so I stopped for breakfast before class started. I came home from class and drifted off to sleep for about 15 minutes and now it feels like I could go to sleep and sleep until tomorrow morning.

I hope to spend the next 14 days eating as if I was at a spa. THe only day I won't do that is the 4th of July because I have a party to go to. I will be bringing food that I want to eat so that I can stay within my calorie total for that day.

Congrats Jayna on 100 days and welcome to the this next phase.

Hope everyone else is doing okay.

Hey everyone...I know it has been a while since I checked in, but I am still on track and still cheat-free. I think I am at 38 days cheat-free. It may be a little before each check-in, I am not going to be on here as much as before now that summer is here. But I will be checking in as often as possible!!! Keep up the great work everyone!!!!

 

[jayna22]

Thanks, everyone, for welcoming me to the new thread! I'm glad to be here instead of all by myself over there. Anyway, today I finished day 2. I have to admit that I used five flex points (I've now used twenty this week with three days left.) today. It's so hard for me on the weekends. Oh well. I know can make it.

2 days down, 98 to go!
Thanks!

Just checking in. I'm finishing up day 34, but have used up 12 flex points the last two days, so I'm nervous about the holiday parties coming up. I'm going to try real hard to stay in control, because nothing tastes as good as being thin feels. I have to remember that. I did wear a pair of shorts today that I couldn't wear last summer, so I'm planning to wear them on the fourth as motivation to keep on track.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

I finished day 43 yesterday!

Kathy -- Great job on the shorts!

Checking in....day 32 almost done with 8.5 pts left. Don't know how I managed that. I even had a 20 oz Icee today...yummy! But for dinner I had London Broil (my recipe, 5 pts for 4 oz. and I ate 2 oz.), 1/2 cup of white rice and 3/4 cup broccoli. That meal was only 4.5 pts!!!

Today was also WI day. Two more pounds dropped! But man am I starting to hate salads!

 

[mikamah]

Well, I bombed today. Didn't eat much this morning and then we had a party pre-fireworks, and I went a little crazy with snacks, food, and alcohol. I guess it could have been worse, but this is the first day that I didn't track anything, so I know it was pretty bad. Tomorrow is a new day, and I'm definitely going to track all I eat and try to get out for a walk. And bring all my leftovers to my brothers house. I have one party to go to, but I think I'm going to eat first and stop by after dinner. So, I skip today, and am only on day 34. That's three days over the past week that I've had to not count. Things happen in threes, hope that's it.

Hope everyone has a great fourth of july.

 

[jayna22]

I'm now through day 4! Today is the last day of my week and I hav fifteen flex points left! That's pretty amazing, given that I used twelve on the first day of the week! This weekend was pretty easy. I stayed busy with some
genealogy projects, which took my mind off food. Today is free day, but I'm going to be as "good" as possible.

4 down, 96 to go! (gosh that seems like a long ways away!)
Thanks!

I finished day 35 yesterday and now am off to Maine for 4 days, with a cooler full of healthy food. Planning to walk everyday, and swim, so hope to remain cheat free for the rest of my vacation.

Hope you all had a great fourth!!!

 

[keenercam]

I am through day 46 as of Wednesday night.

Yesterday was the first "decent" eating day I've had in a while. Hoping to make today another good one.

How is everyone else doing?

 

[donac]

After today I will be halfway there. I would have been there already if it wasn't for the 4th of July

How is everyone else doing?

 

[donac]

I am at 50 days. Hlafway there.

Anyone else?

Julie, how close are you?

Cam, I know you are close to getting there too.

To the rest of you keep up the good work. You can do it.

On to 100.

 

[keenercam]

YAY, Dona!!!

I finished day 47 yesterday. This weekend will be tough -- well, tomorrow will be tough. Late lunch at Carmine's, but I already know what we will be eating and it will be my only real meal of the day, so it should be okay.

 

[mikamah]

Hi everyone!!!
I am back from vacation, and did not do as well as I had planned, but I had a wonderful relaxing time. I did stay on program 2 out of 4 days, and out of the 8 days I was off work, I didn't cheat for 5 of them. So I am on day 38 cheat free. Back to work tomorrow, and back on track today. I need to get through one week straight without cheating as I've skipped quite a few days in the past couple weeks. So my minigoal is to do that this week.

Congrats Dona on 50 days. That's awesome.

Hope your weekend went well, Cam.

Hi Jayna, and welcome. 100 days is a long time, but by the way I'm going, you'll pass me in no time.

Good luck to eveyone!!

Is it too late to join? I tried doing the last cheatfree one but I just couldn't seem to commit back then. I know it has been a long time since then as I remember my daughter was still an infant back then. Now my dd is 14 months old and I can no longer use the excuse of being tired due to taking care of an infant or anything like that! SO I am determined to lose some weight and stay cheat-free this time. I am doing really well so far.

My main goal is to watch portion sizes and not eat junk. I will allow myself the occasional treat but I think the key is moderation. You know the saying, "It's okay to have a slice of the cake, just not the WHOLE cake!"? Well, that applies here I think. Anyway, I am highly addicted to chocolate. I literally can't eat it without wanting more or wanting it all the time so my main goal was to give that up. I went through some major withdrawals at first but now I have no desire for it at all and I am so happy about that! I had a couple of bites of chocolate cake on the 4th and it really didn't appeal to me so I didn't eat anymore! So YAY me!!! That was a huge milestone for me!

I am not sure exactly when I gave up the junk, sometime in June but I can't remember when exactly. But I know for a fact I haven't had any since July 1 (not counting the couple bites of cake) so I will start from July 2. I am currently at 8/100 cheat-free days and am feeling great!

 

[keenercam]

Hi, Tasha+Scott!
I am adding you to the challenger list and looking forward to seeing you around here.

BTW, your daughter is gorgeous!

I finished day 50 yesterday. Can't believe I am finally half-way, but is sure hasn't been pretty. I am still pretty much maintaining, weight-wise, but am hoping that being disciplined about WHAT I am eating (not just how many points) will make a difference.

 

[keenercam]

Hey. where is everyone? I am feeling lonely here!

I finished day 51 tonight. I still have 6 pts and 2 APs for today but I'm heading for bed. Hope everyone else had a great day!

 

[donac]

HI Cam. It is pretty quiet around here. I am at day 53. Now I am getting ready for an even bigger push for the last 47 days.

 

[jayna22]

I have to give myself two cheat days for this week. I used up all my flex points over the weekend going out to eat while I was visiting friends. Yesterday I went over and today is the last day of the week, so I know I will be going over! Last time I 'cheated' I started over, but this time, I know I can get back on track tomorrow so I'm going to stick at 10/100

10 down, 90 to go!
Thanks!
