Mike, this challenge is a great idea!

I am master of my domain too!!!

CHEAT FREE: 1 day

No planned cheat ahead.

I just have one question, is Labour Day on the same date in the US and in Canada? Here it is on September 5th this year.

Have a great cheat free day everyone!

OK, Mike, you twisted my arm, and I'm in. For those of you who don't know me, I am nursing my 6-month-old daughter and have to stay above 100 net carbs in order to maintain a healthy milk supply, so I eat pretty high-carb meals. My main problem that I need to get under control is snacking, and drinking too much diet soda. To that end, here's my personal definition of "cheat-free":

1. No junk-food snacks
2. Only two diet sodas a day

So far I don't see any necessary cheat days in the near future, so here's hoping I can make it to Labor Day!

Cheat Free: 1 day

Hi Everyone!!

When you post.. it would be great if you could complement at least a couple people that have had success in the past day, by name. I think it helps to see your name in lights! Certainly not an obligation, but it would be something nice that would probably bring us a little closer together!

I've received a couple of questions about what "cheat free" means. I mean people may be on slightly different plans or might allow themselves different items.

The whole idea is that you have to be true to yourself and YOUR plan. I posted this to one of the people.

Hey.. as long as you define for yourself what "cheat free" means.. I'm ok with that. Your definition could be no junk food and no LC sweets for example. just define it for yourself and see if you can be..... "Master of your Domain"!!

I already LOVE this challenge.. seeing people come in and post in big letters I AM master of my Domain just cracks me up!

WTG on the first day!! Jigger, Scott, Hilary, Calico, Faust, (and of COURSE myself..hehe)

Welcome on board Betsy!!

WOOHOO!!

Mike

I would like to join you all, if that is okay. I usually don't have many cheats, so I should hope that I do well at this challenge.

I am going to a wedding in NYC this Thursday through Sunday. Don't plan on cheating, but, you know, things can happen when on the road traveling and such.

I am the Master of my Domain

Cheat free: 1 day

For me cheat free means 1 serving of LC ice cream or candy, not several this had been my downfall. It also means no sugar, bread (unless it's LC bread), or high starch veggies (like potatos and rice). I don't know what else to list, I'll know myself if I cheat, and I tend to be honest .

Great job so far everybody.

Cathy

Day 1 complete and I am still Master of My Domain! Muahahahaha!

Welcome Akasha (my peep from the Christmas Challenge), CalicoCat, eacoy, and everyone else I failed to list.

I must say, yesterday was a difficult day to keep my wits about myself. It was 107 degrees here yesterday and the last thing I wanted to do was cook. In fact, all I really wanted was a huge bowl of ice cream.

Hey.. I made it yesterday and had some huge cravings.. but I fought thru 'em and stayed strong.. yahoo!!!

Mike.. thanks for starting this!!!

Cathy... have seen you around.. and have been wanting to stop by to say hi... glad you're here!!

Akasha... nice to see you sweetie!!!!

Okay.. onward we go!!!!!

Cheat free: (1) day
Good Luck to us all!!!!!

However, I plan on having ice cream on Saturday from Cold Stone's Creamery!! I'm going to allow a treat day once a week...Saturdays, and see how that works.

Oh and I'd like to congratulate everyone ahead of me.

I am cheat free since Friday, but that was in a haphazard sorta LC way....so today will start my structured cheat free counting....
