Ok I'm in. I just had (3) red vine licorice, 105 calories that did nothing for me. Whole house has been on a candy craze this last couple weeks and I've done pretty good. Bout (5) mini butterfingers my fav. No candy for Jyant till Thanksgiving, at which time I may eat two desserts.

I'm in! I actually have been off sweets all of October and planned through end of month, but I'll officially say no Halloween candy because then I won't sneak into the leftovers during November! Ha! Ok, here's my game plan: (1) Continue no sweets through Dec 15 (big weight goal date), with one exception of 1 serving of sweets at Thanksgiving (2) Dec 15-Dec 31: 3 total servings of sweets during that timeframe (better use them wisely!)

Tia...I am afraid I can't join you in this. :( I like my chocolate too much! I give up so much food, but chocolate is something I do eat. I only buy those small bags of sugar free chocolate candy. One little Hershey's bar is only 33 calories. :) I eat only sugar free candy, and it will not affect my weight......so I don't have to say 'no'. I also like Baskin Robbins sugar free hard candy. They have maybe 10 calories per piece....and they have butterscotch and more! So.....don't suffer if you can have your 'cake and eat it, too' lol....when it is so few calories.....you can afford to indulge! ~Melissa

Well, I don't think I will join you because I've given up so much for months and I might Splurge on a piece or two (maybe). It easy to say "no" when I get up so darn early to get this done. Who knows, I may change my mind when it comes around. Anyway, I have two girls and we get tons of candy. So, I sort it and they keep what they really like and I put it out of my sight. The rest I bag up and send to work with the hubby. Gradually I get rid of the rest when the kids forget about it. Good luck. You can do this. It seems easy when you compare it to doing a TRI.

Okay, I'm up for the challenge. Chocolate is my weakness and I bought the bag of stuff to hand out but it's not open yet and won't be until it's time to hand out the neighborhood kids. No candy - one day at a time.

I give out candy I don't like so it won't tempt me. My 18 yo DD (at 9 years old) used to save all her collected candy until Thanksgiving time (after all the other kids had devoured their stash) and then sell it in the cafeteria for a quarter a piece. Enterprising kiddo! This year our church is doing a quarter drive to feed kids in Rwanda. It costs only a quarter a day to feed a child, so I'm considering bringing back her practice in a 'more noble' way. Report Inappropriate Comment |

I'm in with you. I have a little advantage in that my children are too old for trick or treat and we live off the beaten path so there's no need to purchase it for the lil goblins, so no temptations at home. I do all the shopping so no stray items should show up. I'll try to be extra cautious to not mindlessly dip into candy jars at work. Report Inappropriate Comment |

I'm on orders from my dentist to stay away from Halloween candy. He's just afraid I'll pull off my temporary crown or crack a tooth...but orders are orders! Last year I bought peanut M&Ms which my husband loves but I don't crave. Comment edited on: 10/19/2009 8:12:02 PM Report Inappropriate Comment |

Tia, I bookmarked this blog post! This is an excellent way to set a goal and plan the actions to achieve it. I bookmarked this, to refer to when/if I hit a plateau. The scope of my goal and plan is less detailed at the moment and works well for me now. But I wonder if a much more in-depth goal and plan could be the secret of breaking from a plateau! So, I'm going to test my theory if/when the time comes! Thank you so much, my SparkFriend, for sharing your plan with us. I will pray for you as you train and will be cheering you on for each event. Please share your stories of each event as you did in your blogs: "Triathlon Results =-) Sept 20th" - but especially your "TIA's Triathlon :)" The way you shared those events with us, I found myself almost out of breath, feeling like I was right beside you!! Have a wonderful weekend! And, yes, "let the games begin!" - TODAY!!! ~~Jocelyn Newton~~ Report Inappropriate Comment |

Wow that sounds like a huge goal, but your persistance amazes me and I'm sure you'll do great! I love all the change-ups in weeks 5-7, 10 and 12- that sounds like something my ADHD nature would really get into!
