    OK!!! Are ""WE"" in this CHALLENGE or not?? Are we going to say I'm NOT before we even try?? I'm sorry but I have a hard time with this because speaking from experience one has resigned themselves to failure before they even attempted.. Go ahead and make a mistake but please at least TRY. That is how we overcome obstacles otherwise known as "challenges"!! Like I said before, I work as a cook in a school where I cook hotdishes, homemade buns, cookies & etc everyday & YES the temptation is just as big for me as it is you and if I can do this then I am positive YOU can too! All it takes is ONE DAY AT A TIME!!

    Honey, I WAS that strict when I first started my journey but NOW since I have a large burn, I need more carbs! My passion is running so mornings run, 5 miles every day, means more carbs! You are amazing being able to keep your dairy that restricted, outstanding job!

    I like these challenges because they are something different, but for me I'm not really up for cutting things out entirely. Like I've mentioned before, I have an extensive binge eating history, and being black and white about foods is unhelpful to me. I do greatly minimize S&(white)F which seems to help with binging, but I'm enjoying I can have them occasionally without issue.

    Actually, probably what would make sense for me as a challenge would be the dairy and/or FODMAP foods to see if it helps with my IBS. I'll have to make some breakfast fixings tonight so can skip the cereal if I'm going to cut out dairy.

    Also wondering how eliminating dairy helps me be more healthy. I eat yogurt and cheese every day for the protein, which helps kill my craving for munchies.

    10/13 Day 1: 750 calories burned (martial arts and vigorous cleaning) skipped dessert tonight, though I did have a cocktail with my husband.

All it takes is ONE DAY AT A TIME!!

    Let me start off saying That I admire your determination and dedication. i know what challenge is/ means. I 've lost 40 lbs ,( I used to be almost 210)over the last seven years HAVE managed to keep Most of it off and that's by cutting back a lot and finding healthier substitutes, revamping my bad diet, Periodically, and figuring out what triggers me to binge eat, fighting severe depression,And exercising Much More. I used to be VERY sedentary. This IS me cutting back a lot on refined sugars and dairy, And calories. I generally don't eat too much dairy, because I've found lately in my old age I it does bug me to eat too much. Please take a Look at my food diary from even a few weeks ago ,and you can see how much I have cut down, the last week and a half. I AM struggling daily with myself. And Am CONSTANTLY beating MYSELF up over for lack of abetter term,"bad" choices. I'm constantly thinking about food in some form, "good" or" bad" all day / every day, and I'M SURE I dream of it too. I Don't Want to get up to 200lb+ EVER AGAIN ! This a challenge for me ,And I Am Taking an Active role in being Healthier both Mentally and Physically, And staying that way. I AM trying WAY harder since I've been doing 3500 Extreme+, (I LOVE This group! )It Has given me a GOOD boot in the rear to step it up a few notches. Because I see how much people do, do that are older, heavier, less able, busier,etc, and etc. And it makes me Want to do better, that's what I've taken away from this group. I 've lost a lb and a 1/2 in about a week and A half, since starting to seriously watch sugars, flour , dairy. And I feel good about that. I 'm not looking for a pat on the back, but what I'm doing is working for me . Writing this is hard for me, I Don't tend to generally put myself Out there too much.Every day is Serious Fight /challenge to not Constantly give in to temptation. Since I work @ A supermarket and AM surrounded by A plethera of amazing Smells , From the bakery , fried food, and Pizza ,and most days , I DO WELL to pass it on by. That said I have to Finish logging my food and exercise ,and am going to go for a run, I have energy to burn.

    There is no real proof that dairy is bad for you. There is a chance that it leads to an increased risk of ovarian cancer (web Md). Also there are a lot of calories in cheese and whole milk.

    My personal belief is that anything processed should be avoided as much as possible. Milk is highly processed. Cows are fed antibiotics. I watched the documentary Forks over Knives, and could not drink milk without gagging for months after. I don't remember all of the details, just remember that I was ready to be vegan after watching that!

    Personally, I don't have very many milk products, and I don't usually limit anything. Being conscious of the food groups (some days sugar is a food group for me!) is a good thing. As long as no one suggests giving up veggies, I will do my best to meet the challenges.

    Sugar & flour threw me for a loop last week, but I am at peace with it now & will participate to the best of my ability.

    Thank you for explaining about dairy. I'm going to have to agree to disagree with you all on the idea that we should eliminate whole groups of food from our diets. I joined this group primarily because it was a fitness group to help motivate me to get my burn on. If I had wanted to join a clean eating group I would have joined one of those. I have been enjoying the challenges, and in the spirit of participation, I will cut back to some extent. However I will be honest that it's not a priority for me this week to buy a bunch of food I can't afford to replace food that has been working well for me for 10 months.

    I totally agree with you. Dieting never works for me because as soon as the diet is over am binging. But am try this challenge out and praying that I don't binge afterwards.#fingerscrossed.

    *****SORRY BUT the moderators have decided the change the challenge for this week! There are too many people that decided they didn't want to participate! This challenge is designed to help everyone so the moderators have decide to sub lunges INSTEAD of F&S&D! You have the choice of ANY FORM of lunges, :D:D! THE CHALLENGER WITH THE HIGHEST BURN AND MOST LUNGES WILL GET TO PICK THE CHALLENGE! Plus NEW rule: the moderators have decided ONLY ONE food challenge a month! ****** Lets have fun, keep up the outstanding burns!****
