I can't believe I've made it this far...

I've gone 60 days without cheating!

I can thank the WISH board for it, too! That little cheat free clippie has been my motivator! Each morning I come downstairs and change the number of days. Thank you, thank you to whoever designed it!

There have been several times recently I've wanted to cheat, but I kept thinking to myself I'm so close to 60 days... And once I get off Atkins it is usually an avalanche for me. Thus, why I gained back twenty pounds this past winter.

On a similar note, I'm getting close to my goal. Wow, these last pounds are coming off at a painfully slow rate. Still have my fingers crossed that I'll be at my goal come my WDW trip next month.

Now who stays on their diet while they're at WDW?!? And exercises to boot?!? I'm not so sure about me. Sorry, guys! I keep thinking about that Dole Whip!

Great Job lenshanem! 60 day without cheating is mind blowing (here I am fighting my way through day 4 of induction lol ) I can't imagine. Are you doing induction still or are you on ongoing weight loss, pre-maintenance, or maintenance. Either way, I'm impressed, what a motivator you are WTG!

60 days without cheating is great, I think I am able to go maybe a day or two but not much more.

Shan - I'm so proud of you for making it 60 days cheat free! Woohoo!!!! That is just awesome. You must feel so good about yourself.

I agree with you that it's not always easy but keeping in mind that you can change your cheat free bear is a sure motivator. It's amazing how something so simple can help you reach your goal but I often think about my bear too and how I don't want a day to go by that I come here and am not able to change my number.

As far as not cheating on vacation goes, I haven't experienced it yet but I am planning on it. We leave in a little more than 3 weeks and I've got my itinerary just about finalized and it does include getting up early every morning to work out. I've got to check with DVC but I think if you are using your points to stay at a regular resort that you can use that resorts exercise room for free. That's what I plan on doing each morning or if nothing else, I understanding there is a jogging path between the Poly and Grand Floridian and me and my sister will walk for 30 minutes each morning.

I also plan to eat OP while at Disney. I know it can be done, I've read other people's reports and comments on this board and others that it is doable so I want to try it out for myself. I am going to try to go with the same thinking I have here at home which is to focus on the delicious foods I can enjoy (a bunless burger from Peco Bills and sugar free treats from the Main Street Bakery to name a couple) and not on the stuff I can't have.

Anyway, I just wanted to celebrate your 60 days cheat free with you! Keep up the fantastic work!!!!

Thanks everyone! Wow, ZerasPride you have me beat by 4 days! I'm impressed you plan on dieting while at WDW. I have thought about at least exercising, I even pulled up the jogging trails for the Epcot resorts area. Let me know what you find out about using your points. I'd be very interested to know what they tell you.

I can believe it! What an accomplishment. I'm really proud of you.

Shan - I didn't realize at first that you are DVC too! Howdy neighbor! I'll let you know what I find out from MS about using the work out facilities at the Grand. I'm going to call them for the official word on Monday or see if I can find the info on the new and improved members site but I haven't been on it yet.

Let's both keep up the great work and keep on changing our cheat free clippies!
