Keep pushing! You’re 2 and 2, which is really good! Just keep reminding yourself, not sugar! I find that chewing gum really helps when the cravings come out. Do you have any tricks for when the same happens to you?MadisonMolly2017 wrote: »Going for 8 days.
3/24❌ pumpkin bread (155.2)
3/25✅Perfect food day, finally—not just sugar. Hunger gone again! What I eat does affect my hunger!
3/26✅Finally, I’m on a roll again! Banana bread (153.6)
3/27✅It’s working! Muffin (152.6)
3/28✅pleased/relieved. Day by day.
3/29 ❌ had 1/2?dessert, but gonna get right back on track tomorrow- time to learn how to do that!
3/30✅perfect day. Major accomplishment after 3/29!
3/31✅ great day! Even with a food event - no sugar
4/1✅ Perfect
4/2❌ banana bread, vanilla yogurt, noodle dish (ate out)
4/3 ❌a WHOLE dessert AND 1/2 dessert
4/4❌ banana bread, vanilla yogurt, 2 cookies (brought by friend)
Starting over!
4/5 ❌dessert
4/6✅ getting back on track
4/7✅perfect
4/8 ❌ 2 tartlets, 1/2 slice sweet bread, 3 cookies. Compensated to hit deficit.
The Plan:
Up to 1 oz dark choc at meals only.
Up to 53g Kashi Flax cereal
Up to one sweet pastry per day if weight is under 155.
Do not eat out until you weigh 153 again.
If hunger continues to be a problem, cut pastry. Then cereal....
Note to self:
Even a little can seem fine, but repeatedly you’ve found it mushrooms until you’re eating out & the scale keeps climbing. Admit it to yourself. NO SUGAR. Go. Back to your prior way of eating. You were never hungry & you never had this fear of regaining & negating all of your hard work0 -

4/8: ❌ 4 oreos and 4 chips ahoy cookies
You’ve got this, @Stormtrooper101
Never Give Up!
I eat a little unsalted nuts, berries, nonfat Greek yogurt when & if late night hits, but I find big breakfasts curb those cravings for me (along with 60-90 mins of walking/hiking around 5 pm) for me. And water, decaf tea, decaf coffee.0 -
Just eat normal food first don't let yourself to get hungry then it's going to be easy folks

So I have developed a habit of going to cafes to have drink and something high in sugar, it's something that I really want to curtail. But I really crave it, perhaps more than the sugar laden treat itself. Because of that, I'm replacing the sugar laden treat with a trip to the supermarket to buy a packet of biscuits. I'll then throw away one more than the number of biscuits I threw away yesterday, because I want to eventually not eat sugar. Since that's the plan, I can't say that I'm sugar free. I'll be back, hopefully in the number of days equal to the number of biscuits in a packet of Chocolate thins (perhaps 30?).0

Thanks. My lifetime record of number of days without sugar is 42, I hope to start that when I'm not throwing out biscuits anymore.0

@hixa30
I made it 2 months in college. When I ate one candy bar, I felt sick.
I will only cut out all sugar if I’m unable to maintain my new weight. I’m finding (so far) I can handle a little bit.0 -
I am starting today! Ye-haw!2

Hey everyone! I’m back (took some challenge time off for the holidays) and it’s time for a real challenge! I’m purposing a month long challenge. This isn’t going to be perfect, and I know I more then likely won’t be able to complete the whole thing, but I really need to flush unnecessary sugar out of my diet. If you decide to do something like this with me, please realize that you are going to have to eat more naturally sugar-filled foods, like apples and yogurt, or you will have nasty withdrawl symptoms like headaches and extreme fatigue.
Starting today!2 -
I am starting from today 27/4
Will be recording my progress
27/4:
28/4:
29/4:0 -
I'm in! I hope this challenge will help me keep myself accountable. I keep catching myself wanting to have a little sweet snack or dessert after almost every meal, so I wanna stop this in the first place, for a healthier lifestyle! Starting today 28/40

I'm back, just started.0
-
Focusing on getting off desserts. I realized they are too calorie dense for what I can eat each day.
4/28 bf no, lunch no, dinner no
4/29 bf no, lunch no,0 -
I'm going to do a no sugar May.0
-
May 2 means second day without sugar. Cravings are high.0
-
-
-
My attempt at going prolonged periods without sugar only lead to binge eating, so I’m going to start over and start with the 3-day challenge again.0
-
I'm using a technique of ever extending the time between sugar hits. Currently about 27 hours.0
-
After a few failures, I'm at 31 hours.2
