I didn't cheat for the first 75 days, now I pretty much cheat once a week and I also generally regret it, but I had hit a wall and was told by a few people that I needed to cheat once and a while. I don't eat anything that comes in a bag or a box, just meat, vegetables, nuts and cheese and spices. I am sure some carbs creep in there, I don't try that hard, but I don't touch bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, corn or anything with more than one ingredient unless I make it myself. When I cheat, it is usually with fruit, when you have little kids, there is generally a lot of fruit around.

I didn't weigh myself for the first 75 days either and even then it was just because I happened to be at someones house who had a scale sitting on the bathroom floor. When I did, I was floored, I had lost 30 lb's in 2 and a half months. That immediately motivated me to get out the old treadmill and start jogging. I do push ups a few times a day and I do squats a few times a day (just body weight). I will not join a gym, I feel like that has been a key to my failure in the past, way too easy to make excuses not to go. But I can do push ups and squats and I can jog all while the ball game is on at home.

for clarification, I was not trying to say I am loosing weight because I have a stand up desk, I am saying it is one of the changes I have made, part of a change in lifestyle and I think it was an important one.
