Now, are we aiming for 100 cheat free days in a row, or just 100 cheat free days added up?


Hi Akasha!

I think it's more of a "how long can you hold" out thing.

Yay! Day two for me!

Have a great cheat free day everyone!

Okay, just wondering. So if I make it until Christmas and then cheat, do I have to start my day count over again?

I am entering Day Three, myself. No cheats or binges yet. Whooooo!

Hi, I'd like to join you! I am counting from yesterday, as I was cheatfree yesterday.

I think we should be allowed to take Thanksgiving and Christmas off. Those are special days and it won't hurt to have some extra things on just two days.

I think using Thanksgiving and Christmas as legal days is a GREAT idea.

No one ever said anything about it being "100 Consecutive Cheat Free Days"!!

Howdy Jacey33, Sapphire2, saracidal, and Kat999! You have just joined the coolest challenge on the forum, hands down!

Welcome! I'm glad the "100 days" didn't scare you off! It's all about doing this for as long as you can comfortably.

Good Luck today!

Okay I really want to be in on this!! It is not like I cheat daily or weekly but when I do it is something baaaad....like a huge peice of chocolate cake or something. Starting today (10/03/05) 100 days cheat free would put me at January 13. With the exception of Christmas and Thanksgiving Days.

Thanks for starting this challenge...It will keep me honest through the holidays!! Katie

Edit....How do I get that ticker in my sig?

Is the code for it. Just take out the spaces between the [ and the first letter and it should work.

I'm also in. I started back last Friday and have been doing well. I have to tell you that last night I had baked turkey with cranberry sauce that I made and salad. The sauce was a little runny from not having sugar in it so I'm going to add some gelatin in it today. Maybe next time I might try some pectin, I don't know.

Why don't you try to come up with some LC recipes for the holidays so if you go off it won't be so bad.

When I first started Atkins, I was cheat free for about 4 months! Then I got a desperate craving for pasta e fagioli with saltine crackers!

By the way, welcome to the challenge!

The Atkins website does have some great recipes that are grouped by holiday/season.

atkins.com

Also, Linda has the greatest recipes EVER!! I especially love her twice-baked faux potatoes recipe!
