Here is a partial list of calories in Halloween candy. Of course, peanut m&ms which are my favourite weighs in at a whopping 90 calories. I like the strategies you have come up with to deal with the candy. I don’t buy any as we live in an apartment. My granddaughter usually picks out a couple from her bag to give to myself and my husband. I get a treat but not at the risk of a binge.

I've no idea what most of that candy is! We have kit kat and m&ms in the UK/ Spain. I'm now going to Google all the rest!😂😂0 -

Hello friends, I had Aqua Bootcamp and Aqua Fitness today. It felt so good. It is amazing when you move, you feel better, you have more calories for food or deficit. I love moving especially in fun ways. Hope you have a wonderful night.1

I have bought different sugar free candy over the years. I would still probably eat too many and end up with an upset stomach. I know they can cause gastrointestinal issues.lindamtuck2018 wrote: »

Went up, but I know it was due to the trip. I definitely let myself splurge a little bit, but I enjoyed myself! I know I can get back on track, so it'll be okay. I'm back home and can control my eating. I hope everyone has had a good week!1 -
My trip was a great time! I know I overdid it on the eating out, but I tried to make the best choices with my food. I know some of it is water weight as I didn't actually gain 5lbs in 4 days, but it still didn't feel the best to see it. I seem to have caught a small cold from the plane or just the excitement of the trip lol. I have myself checking out a kickboxing class (which I love) next week, so this week I'll be more focused on what I'm eating and feeling better.1

We have the holiday season fast approaching. Halloween is in a little over two weeks. That means candy and mini chocolate bars everywhere including being a food cue every time we go to the supermarket. What are your strategies for dealing with Halloween treats?
My strategy is keeping the light off and hiding in my closet for a week

That is a strategy. I need to do that during Christmas.

Exercise: 1/4

I think I will increase my steps in the November challenge. I have been doing pretty good with my October steps. I think closing my rings daily helps as I have to get my exercise minutes.

That was converted steps. I convert swimming and water exercise into steps. Megan has a step conversion chart for all kinds of exercise.0 -

I do ...I use my home gym for 30 minutes .. I have not done it this week due to my foot/ankle/leg giving me issues ...with the cooler weather the rods in my leg is not happy so I am having a hard time doing anything2 -
I must say I love my Dr. She is supportive and i find my monthly check ins with her are super motivating. I was beating myself up for having minimal losses this month but she reminded me that the scale is still down. I'm halfway to my (first) goal weight. I am ready to move forward with getting more protein and more fiber this month.
Sending good motivational vibes to the entire team! Go team!2 -

Home but not consistently🫣 anyone have any tips on how to learn to love ST? I actually enjoy cardio but still have a hard time getting motivated to ST. I’ve tried videos and YT and listening to music but haven’t found a way to make it fun and enjoyable.
