Cheat free star challenge!

[kejoda]

Thanks Jodi. I might need one of those whips also.

I am on day 17 of Atkins and have been cheat free for 16 days.

Does this count or do I need to post Day #1 for yesterday and work from there?

I think this will help me a lot because I am extremely goal oriented and seeing this will be great.

Day One only starts for the first day cheat free since you agreed to participate in this 'star challenge' with Vija.

 

[disneyeveryyear]

Okay,

But in my head I will always be adding another 15 days .

Now, how do I change my clippie in the morning because today was day 2?

 

[KathiWithAnI]

Vija.. Thanks!
It's funny howm uch these little clippees get to mean to us... I didn't get home from teaching until 10PM tonight and was so tired.. I thought just forget it... then the thought of having to give up my star ( and not finishing the Alex challenge) got me off my tail and away I walked!!!

SO I'm still "in" on the Alex challenge and I get my day 2 star for weds and thurs!!!!!

The ALex challenge is a great short term challenge and that's also helping put me into the right frame of mind to stick with the long term star challenge!!

YEAH!!!!! to all of us!!!!!
Kathi

to disneyeveryyear:
go into user cp and look at your signature... when you see the part of the star "address" that says /01.jpg change it to /02.jpg and so on for each day.... Hope I made that clear-- it's really late and I'm really tired!

 

[Jiminy102]

Ok Vija and Jody!!!! My dinner for work is over so I am in!!!!! As of NOW!!!!

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

Jiminy102, glad to have you aboard!!!!!

I am so glad that those who decided to go for it are doing so well. It will be very exciting to see the numbers creep up, and the other numbers creep down!!!! Day 3 down for me!

 

[ohiominnie]

Woo hoo! My first star!
I'm feeling good. I actually made it to Curves 4 days this week. Didn't snack when I wasn't hungry. And finally, FINALLY the scale is starting to move (not enough for a bigger clippy yet....but at least it's DOWNWARD movement on the scale!)

Thanks everyone for all the encouragement and fun visual reminders to keep me on track!

OK, I am accepting this challenge. Thanks for the motivation to stay within points. I usually don't have that problem, so I am also going to add to my challenge that I eat at least one fruit item a day. That is where I have a problem, I'm not a big fruit lover, so that will be a challenge, but I know I can do it because of all the help from this board.

I can't wait until I can pick up my "star" tomorrow.

I have one quick question, I noticed in someone's post that their star was smaller, how do you make that happen? I would like the smaller version. Thanks for your help and inspiration!

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

I have no idea how to make it smaller, but look what I found??? Just on a whim, I went in to see what happens after 100 days....

I WANT THIS STAR!!!!!

 

[KathiWithAnI]

I made mine smaller this way: ( this is the actual code as I have it in my signature, except you need to put < at the beginning and > at the end, but if I did that here you wouldn't see my code LOL)

img width="100" height="100" src="http://www.pinecrestdesigns.com/star/02.jpg"

See where I inserted the width and height part? Just change those numbers, bigger for bigger and smaller numbers for a smaller image

Hope that helps
Kathi

And you WILL GET IT VIJA! I have faith in you sweetie!

 

[jimmytammy]

KathiWithAnI-Thanks, I will give that a try tomorrow when I can get my star.

PRINCESS VIJA-You will get that great star and hopefully a lot of us will be joining you.

 

[Jomrog]

Good luck to all of you super "stars". I will be checking those clippies & making sure they don't creep back down. This is a wonderful incentive.

 

[TennesseeTink]

Thank you Vija for referring me to this thread. The star is a great idea! Especially if I can figure out how to change the days. I'm new here and am SOOO impressed with how creative you all are!

I'm also on WW and will stick to Vija's rules (I'll have to print them off so I can remember them - after I turned 40 I lost at least half my memory! ) You are all sooooo smart!

 

[Wagamama]

question...
can i do the cheat free star challenge for excercise?

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

TennesseeTink,
Happy to hear that this will be fun for you too! It has been a challenge, but one that I have embraced, and I am very excited about it! to change the days, go into your user cp and edit options....
Here is day 1
pinecrestdesigns.com/star/01.jpg

then on day 2 just change the 01 to 02

pinecrestdesigns.com/star/02.jpg

of course minus the colors, I just did that to highlight the area to be changed.


Wagamama,
Please use this challenge for exercise!!! A couple of people are doing it for that as well. It should be very exciting seeing the numbers creep up!! (and the numbers on the scale creep down! )

 

[Wagamama]

wow!! thanks for the quick response!! I'm going to start tomorrow!!

 

[MontyMontyMOnty]

Thanks so much!
Yesterday was cheat free day one--so with any luck, my new star will show up here......

Day one and counting--thanks!
Samantha

Oh boy do I need this star! I have had the worst weekend (food-wise) imaginable. What is up with that? Why or why in the heck did I eat "regularly"? Totally went off of the Atkins bandwagon. Why? I have no idea.

My weekend was super busy so when I had not eaten lunch at 3:00 and my family drove to fast food I ordered a burger - WITH BUN! Yikes. It seemed to go from there. No sugar, no super bad food, just bread & pizza crust. Oh my.

So, I am going to try out the stars. Maybe that will help

My star challange will be to stay within Atkins guidelines, with one "free food" every 2 weeks. I like that. Only ONE free food

So basically, I get my star if I stay on Atkins. Yippee....

Thanks for sharing this star challenge!
