The power of the Cheat Free star

[PAdisMOM]

I had to go to a family get together this weekend. I made a WW coconut cream cake (4 points). It was soooo good. But a lot of other things looked good too. There was chocolate fudge, coconut oatmeal pie, cakes, cookies, etc. I can honestly say that the cheat free star challenge saved me. It would have been so easy to blow off a day, but there was no way I was going back to day one.

I now have 10 days in!!!! I'm 1/10th of the way there.

Wow! Aren't you just stylin' with your Cheat Free Star & 25 lb. Clippie!! Good for you for not cheating!!

I know exactly what you mean. The longer you keep the cheat free star, the more that you don't want to give it up.

Woo-hoo!!!!!

I'm so glad you let the cheat-free star inspire you to stay on program! That's great! I admire all you guys who are doing that challenge, I'm lucky if I can get 5 days w/o a cheat!

I'll post the coconut cream cake recipe on the recipe thread. It was yummy.

And I need to clarify my definition of a "cheat". I don't consider it a cheat unless I go over my Flex Points. That gives me quite a bit of freedom, but I don't consider Flex Points cheating. I had a really bad wek 2 weeks ago and I used all my Flex points, all my activity points and then had 2 more bad days after that!! That's why I took the 100 day challenge.


With the Flex points I really can eat most of what I want to, I just can't completely "blow off" a day.

Great job! Just wait till you have a bunch more cheat-free days under your belt - cheating will seem even less tempting!

I'm using the "exercise counter" in my sig to keep me motivated as well - and it's amazing how well it works! Any morning when I wake up and think, "do I HAVE to get up and walk?", the answer is always, "Well, do you want to give up the 63 days in a row? Well, DO YOU?" And I get up and walk.

Good for you! It was more than the cheat free star, you know. It was <b>your</b> <i>determination</i> that saw you through. You deserve the credit for this success
