Just checking in to say......I'm still NO CHEAT!

Have been planning and eating my 5-6 meals a day and cleaning up my act as far as 'nibbling' in the evenings! Continuing to do my exercise too....so Cher....You could be correct that the lack of loss has to do with building muscle. My jeans are getting looser and looser and I love the way my shoulders and arms are looking these days!

:cheer: for each and everyone of us that is CHEAT FREE!!

Hey there, me again :wave: Well, made it through lunch. I don't think I did bad at all. Had meat, meat and more meat. Nothing breaded and stayed away from the stuff that is too sausey(sp?). No rice all noodles either.

Welcome back Sher, sorry you're not feeling good. How do you make flax o meal pancakes? It sounds really good.
I really do love jezzercise, it is a lot of fun and a very good workout.
I'll check back in later, keep up the good work everybody :).

Hey challengers!

Just checkin' in quick before the grout needs to be cleaned...almost done with the floor! Yippee....my knees will be happy...I have been stickin to this but for some reason have gained a little....I will not cheat!!!! This will come off...I know it.

You guys are all doing so great...Richard you are certain to be out of the 500's by Labor day...we are cheering for you!

The guests will just have to use the trees! LOL....just found out they are coming Sunday instead of Monday! Yikes! Better go clean up this disaster area....

Hello all
 

Good morning it has been a really exciting and eventful morning for me. got up did my morning work out had some bacon and eggs took my shower and have been posting since. I really like this WOL I do feel so much better. I will keep posting

cya Greg

Good morning no cheaters :wave:
How is everyone. Doing good so far, but I am going outto lunch again, indian food this time. I will stick to tandori chicken and maybe some veggie korma. Planning on having a protien shake for dinner. Have a great day........bye for now.

Day 6
 

Day 6 and 24 more days to go...........Then we will all see what wonderful progress we've made by not cheating!

I haven't weighed since I started the challenge, but will at the end of the month. I'm looking forward to it, and so excited, I know I'm losing, my clothes are starting to get baggy, you gotta love that.

I dont count carbs either, but I just watch what I eat, here is an example of my menu:
Breakfast, protein shake (low carb, the container says 2G)
Lunch, chicken or turkey patty, a few celery sticks
snack - energy drink, has around 6 Carbs
dinner - last night had 3 cups of salad with blue cheese dressing

And thats all I had, not sure how many calories, or how many carbs, but It seems to work. I'm not hungry and I enjoy my menu.

You No Cheaten' guys & girls, have a great low carbing day.......

Day 6 – no cheat…wow! We’re doing it…

Victoria…thanks for the congratulations on the whoosh…that was very cool! I’m so happy to have that 1.5 pounds off. It sound funny, but, that the equivalent of 1.5 pounds of butter!

Marlaine…isn’t it cool to know that your jeans are getting looser and that you love the way your shoulders and arms look (I want to say that too). The exercise challenge is starting soon…so, I need to get myself in gear….Christmas will be awesome time of the year – we will be so skinny.

Sally…I just love you…you’re always so sweet. Thanks so much for placing all those links to this site…I’m such a computer newbie…I haven’t figured out any of the fancy stuff yet. I’m so excited that you’ve seen a benefit from 6 days of NOT cheating. OK…so, has Richard told anyone about his whoosh….has he kept it a secret or, Sally did he tell you. Inquiring minds would just love to know. We’re so excited about his Whoosh. Also, your post about making it to Day 5 was just so cute…I loved it…that’s how happy I feel!

Tanya, Good luck with the Indian lunch….tandori chicken sounds pretty safe to me. OK…. Flax-O-meal pancakes…

I started with the LowCarb Success Pancake and Waffle mix – Banana Walnut. – Found at local health food store.

Combine 1-1/2 cups of pancake mix with 2 Tbsp. Of oil, 2 eggs and approximately 1 1/2 to 2 cups of water. (for richer flavor you may substitute cream for a portion of the water.

I added blueberries (Yumm)…

Mix and pour immediately onto greased hot skillet or waffle iron.

I made these for friends and they really liked them. I feel so healthy now

Carol… I’m with you…I WILL NOT CHEAT. I wanted to last night :LOL:but, I was really good. What is it about losing weight….usually, when I’ve seen a drop in the scale, I feel like cheating…how weird is that. But, I’m determined to make it – with all of you – till labor day!

Richard…..I like omelets too….what is this about Shila…they make her sick! I just love them. I had an Island favorite omelet today and it had avocados …yum! Those pork rind thingies…I haven’t been able to eat them yet. But, some people use them to coat fish or chicken in and then fry them…that sounds pretty good to me. OK….I’m just waiting to hear how your whoosh went??????????????

Linda …yey! Another day of not cheating…we’re doing great! How’s the exercising going?

Joan…hey, I’m a LOSER too :LOL: It’s Day 6 and I’m feeling great about the challenge and all the commitment on this site. It’s makes it easier to get through the rough times.

Oh you just reminded me…I need to Joanize today!

Pepperoni…oh you and Sally have the cutest pictures from Sienna….they are just adorable. I’m with you…all the no CHEATERS are looking good…just wait till Labor Day!

Greg…wow you’re just doing great…congratulations on getting your morning workout in…that’s awesome. Did you see Marlaine’s thread on exercise? We’re committing to three days of cardio a week (ouch, ouch).

Raw Sienna….your little pictures are so cute and they’re all over the site. I love Sally’s and Pepperoni’s…they are so appropriate for their names. OK…Sienna this is up to you…but, If your program allows you to have one open day…then, you’re not cheating…it’s OK. I know we all have slightly different programs…but, I’d love to have you stay here with us…NO PRESSURE…but, STAY (LOL). We Love You Here…your posts keep us happy!
:rheart:

Sunshine…we’re on day 6 – doesn’t that just feel great :spin: I happy to hear that your pants are feeling baggy….
:yay: :yay: :cheer: :cheer: :yay: :yay: :cheer: :cheer:
:yay: :yay: :cheer: :cheer: :yay: :yay: :cheer: :cheer:

OK…I weighed the other day but, I sort of like the idea of not weighing until labor day. I think our whooshes will seem more sizable at that time.

Star…I think you’re joining us for the challenge so I hope that you’re able to find the link. Just wanted to welcome you…it’s so cool that we’ve made it this far! I’ll try to find your journal today!

Have a great LC "NO CHEAT Day" everyone

Hi Cher. Sheila told me she likes Eggs, but only with a Dab of Catsup on them. She can't stand to see Cheese on it. Go Figure.

She told me some of the things she does eat for Breakfast and I wish I had what she has.

today I had a 4 Egg Omlete 3 or 4 Carbs

Crushed Pork Rinds in the Omlete 0 Carbs

8 Slices of Bacon 0 Carbs

Muti Vitamin

30 oz of Water.

2 1 liter Diet Pepsi's

Tonight I'll have another 80 oz of Water.

Maybe that will help Flush out the Diet Pepsi.

Whoops I forgot to add I had 4 oz of Cheese to on the Omlete.

And no cheating!!!! Cher, my exercising is going ok... still at it!

Sheila...what happened...are you OK?

Day 6 Whoo hoo!
 

Hi everyone,

I feel great, the scale hasn't moved but that is ok....I am stickin to this thing!!! I love coming here for all of the support from you guys! You are all terrific!

Sheila, I don't think a glucose IV is a means of cheating??? I hope you are ok...can't you still play with us? Feel better ok?

We can do this together!
Carol

Thanks guys, I think I will STAY!!!

I need this to keep me focused.

I just knew that glucose is another big fat word for
SUGAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I wanted to be "legal".

I didn't starve myself--that's not why the low bpressure
happened, it's just the way I am. Sometimes it bothers
me more than other times. It has been a LONG time
since it has been this bad, though.

The good news is the dr. said that I am very healthy!!
My grandma that had low bpressure passed away last
October at going on 102!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone for all the concern!! Sheila

Hello,

I just want to say that this thread has saved me many times this week and has been a source of support and inspiration...many many thanks to all.

but I had a whooshy this morning....2 lbs!

I hope the whooshy was from my tushy!

I also walked last night...just a mile, but it's the start of a habit, I hope. My sweetie came with me and it's a very nice walkway along the Long Island Sound.

Everyone have a great weekend!

Wendy

Way to go everybody
 

I agree with Cher I don't think having a glucose IV stuck in you by medical professionals is a means of cheating. I am not saying you should make it a daily occurrence, and if you did I would begin to think you were cheating.

For the people reading this besides sheila, it is only my maccab sense of humor she likes so well.

I really don't believe anybody would be addicted to sugar enough to get glucose IV's daily.

Well the no cheat thing is going well for me. I am not experiencing any cravings. My exercise is going well and I am happy at my progress. I did not move the scale this week I think that is fine.

I did wear size 36 shorts out last night and didn't look to bad. So I guess my body is readjusting. My legs are looking good nice and defined, but my torso from the waist to my chest I can't seem to do anything with, but this has always been the case. I will just keep at it day by day. I am confident that I will triumph over this (as dw say's bloating) fat.

Well I sure didn't mean to be so long winded. (unless you ask VictoriaT) she always thinks I am long winded, but spouses say that about each other all the time. will write later.

congratulation Wendrew on the whoosh I love that feeling of stepping on the scale and it goes down.

cya Greg

No whooshing in this part of the world, but still no cheats either!! Good to see everyone doing so well and staying so motivated! What a great bunch of losers we all are!
