DVC Daisy,
that sounds like you have a great plan. that one free food every 2 weeks really made a difference for me! and look, now I have gone 7 days. I am so excited. I can't wait to make it to 100 and beyond!

CdnDisneyNut,
I'll be watching for you! Off to Europe?!!!! Have a great time! I am so jealous!



KathiWithAnI,
WAY TO GO!!! 6 days, doesn't that feel great??? And your body is loving every minute of it!

I am so proud of myself. These 7 days really have flown by fast. I can't believe how with just a little planning, how easy it truly is. It is still hard to get over the "habit" of eating when I shouldn't, but the power of the star keeps me in line. I think getting past that mindset willl be the hardest part for me. But slowly I see changes in my mindset that are helping me get to where I want to go!

Vija you are doing great!!! I just love seeing the numbers on your star grow higher and higher! Keep up the good work!

That attitude is what is going to get you to lose this weight FINALLY and become healthier! I knew that you had it in you Vija. Isn't it terrific that we found a 'visual' to help you along! As this number gets higher, and higher it will be even 'harder' for you to cheat because you will know that you will lose it all. You've had so many 'day ones' since I've known you but never a 'visual' of all of the days that you lost. This way you can see what you have accomplished and what you would have to lose by having the old attitude --- of what the heck, I'll cheat and tomorrow will just be day one again. That 'cheat food' won't look near as good when you know you'd have to give up that star that you've work so hard for.

WAY TO GO GIRL!

PRINCESS VIJA -thanks for the encouragement!

You are my hero - 7 days is GREAT!

I love this star challenge, I could not wait to get my first star today How cool is that?

I did try the beginning of the Pilates DVC yesterday (basic) - I can feel it today Seems like it will be a good workout. How brutal is the 20 min workout? Maybe I will try that today. I am thinking that that combined with walking would be great!

Thanks for the encouragement - this board is great.

Way to go Vija! You're doing a great job. Your success is encouraging to so many others! We can all come up alongside you and together replace bad eating habits with good ones!

Brava!!

I just picked up my first star today! I'm doing the "Week in the Zone" trying to learn how to eat Zone meals. Today is day 2 .

 

[DiznEeyore]

Is it too late (and have I been too AWOL) to join in on this?

I've been lurking and not posting because I haven't been counting my points and frankly, I was having a bad attitude and not *wanting* to count my points. Fortunately I didn't go crazy and gain but our house is now packed and "realtor-ready" and I have the energy and need to get back on track. Our trip to WDW is 137 days away and the 100-day challenge would really help me prepare.

So, Vija and everyone, is it too late for me, or can I jump in??

 

[robinb]

DiznEeyore,

If I just jumped in yesterday, you can jump in today! It's a personal 100 days whatever that means to you. Good luck on your house! I don't think I'll ever move because I could never get my house "Realtor Ready"!

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

DiznEeyore,

Absolutely you can join! This star is for anyone who wants to work for it. It has done wonders for me, and I am so proud of myself, but yet, I am so much more excited that it has made a difference for so many others. Together we will make it to our goals!!!

 

[DiznEeyore]

OK, then, I will do it! This will be a change for me, as I just looked at my WW journal and haven't done it faithfully since (gulp!) May 22!!

 

[robinb]

Well ... today is day number one then .

 

[DiznEeyore]

Robin & Everyone:

OK, I did it! I made it through Day 1! There's no turning back now!

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

DiznEeyore,
congrats on day 1! That was truly my hardest day. keep going, your doing great!

 

[jimmytammy]

I keep forgetting to change my star. I have been staying OP and it's not that I don't like seeing the number change, just keep forgetting. I'm going to figure out someway to set something to remind me to change it. Thanks again for the incentive.

 

[DVC Daisy]

Jimmytammy,

I hear ya! I am exactly the same way and I forget to change my star Then I see one in a post and I think, "oh yeah I need to change mine" and of course get distracted with another post.

I love this cheat free challenge however. It is working really well for me.

Everyone seems to be doing great and keep changing their numbers higher. Great challenge Vija, thanks for sharing it.

Hi guys! After my pity party last night, I have been picked up, dusted off and set back in the wagon! Now, I'm going to take Jody's suggestion and join Vija and the rest of you in this challenge!

It's been really great seeing everyone's numbers mount on their stars (Vija--you're the man! Ummmmm.. make that WOman!) I think this is just what I need to get back on track. So here goes! I'm hoping to add my star clippie tomorrow!
