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!

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

Marlaine

Hey there, me again 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 .

Good morning no-cheaters!!!

I've finally made it back here....and I'm going to read this whole thread...going back to page one. Gonna do it if it takes me all morning...and it probably will...LOL. Here goes...brb.....
brb....
brb....

Whew!!! What a wonderful group! Cher....this is a great thread!!! And Sally....you ALWAYS make me smile with all your little hyper dudes. I swear, just looking at those little fellas makes me lose weight!! LOL



I'm not sure that I really should be a part of this thread....except in the capacity of cheerer-onner. I am not nearly as strict with myself as ya'll are. I don't count carbs per say. I have one day a week off, and I don't follow any real set plan. SOOOOO, having said that, I'm here to help cheer you all on, watch your progress, and be motivated by you!

Ya'll are doing SOOOOOOOOO great! There's going to be a Whoosh Fairy convention on the 2nd of September. I'll bring the cam corder...ya'll bring the snacks!!!

Big, big hugs all round!
Me

Default 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!


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



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
