jQuery checkboxes checked when posting data

I have a series of checkboxes on a page and when the page is loaded for the first time I would like them all checked by default.

However, once a user de-selects certain boxes and then submits the page (it posts back to the same page) I'd like their selections to be shown and not all checkboxes checked by default.

Currently I have the following:

$( document ).ready(function() {
    $('.sdate').attr('checked', true);          
});

This checks the checkboxes but I can't work out the logic to then only show then users selection when the post back happens.

If you are using any server side language like php or any other you can try like this, php example.

<script type="text/Javascript">

   $( document ).ready(function() {
      var was_posted = <?php echo ('POST' === $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']) ? 'true' : 'false'; ?>
      if(was_posted != true){
         $('.sdate').attr('checked', true);  
      }
   });
</script>
