    I'm not too big on Candy so no worries there just plz check in with me everyday when Thanksgiving roll around make sure I am not buried under Sweet Potatoe pies, Ham, Cornbread stuffing, Collards, Mac N Cheese, and all the rest that goes along with it that's going to be my big challenge!!

    follow planned dinner menu each night
    100+/- oz of water per day
    work on getting my calcium up and my sodium down each day
    get in my 65 squats and 65 crunches each day before i come up to bed so i dont have to "squeeze" them in before i crawl into bed
    get to bed before 11 at least 4 nights this week

    I really like your goals for the week, and I am sure you will accomplish your weight goal for October. I also do C25K, starting W2, I do on MWF, and 30 day shred on M-F.

    As a kid I used to LOVE pixie sticks....flavored sugar in a tube!
    Now I love those little Hershey miniature chocolate bars!

    I weigh in the morning. I swear I am hungry ALL the time the last couple of days and my sodium was OFF the charts today. We'll see what that does in the morning....

    But, my goals for this week:

    Regulate the sodium
    Pack meals the night before AND snacks so I'm not making it up on the fly.
    Go to at least one class at the Y this week to vary up my workouts and keep my body guessing.
    My goal for October 17th (which is when I lead my children's choir up in front of everyone is 157 lbs.

    Well, I fell off the diet "bandwagon" this weekend. I am going to push back my weigh-in this week till wed, give my body sometime to get rid of the sugar bloat.


    It was my husband's birthday this weekend, so of course we went out to dinner, to the bar, and I made him a cake. Good thing his birthday is once a year. :ohwell:

    Well I hope everyone else did better than I did this weekend.

    Happy Monday all!

    I wasn't going to weigh-in until TOM was gone, but I hopped on the scale this morning and I'm exactly the same weight as last week. I guess that's a good thing. I'm also guessing I'll be down a little once TOM is gone, which is an even better thing!

    Feeling accomplishd this morning since I've already put away 2 loads of laundry, started another in the washer, started dinner in the crockpot and it's only 8:30. Guess I should workout a little since I'm feeling this motivated for a Monday. Oh, and to pre-burn off all my dinner calories. We're having bbq pulled pork sandwiches!

    159.0 this week, down .4 lbs, which isn't bad considering the week I had! I was expecting MFP to get me to update my goals but apparently I'm at 9.9 lbs! LOL! That elusive .1 lb before goal revision.

    i'm not a huge candy lover either so i think i'll be okay this month...my kids got a bag of the mini candy bars from my dad last month in the mail for their birthday and i think one night i had 2 mini bars with a cup of coffee for my night time snack but only cause i had the calories to use....we have soooo much candy in my house that my kids collect from goodie bags or holidays or whatever and i end up throwing it out cause they nor i just dont eat it......this is a good thing LOL...i like salty crunchy snacks though so gotta keep a handle on the chips and cheetos and such in my house to avoid binges.....

    Hi all!!

    Halloween Candy; Reese's!! My total weakness, during any and all diets!! I keep the reese's miniatures hidden, and usually have 2-3 of them when I get a craving. I love candy, a little too much, unfortunately.

    Been doing OK lately.. discovered sugar-free pudding, only 60 cals!! :)

    Things are going good with me and this round of the shred day 4 completed yesterday I dragged my hubby in with me and he pulled out his 20lb weights why was he sweating like crazy and I had to give him my 8lb weights before it was all said and done bumping me down to my 5lb weights LOL. Plus we were suppose to go to the gym after that and why did he say naw I think I am good but thanks LMBO!!! Yeah he was sleeping on those 27mins not no more hahahahaha!!

    cnbethea - that's hilarious! My husband can't make it totally through the Shred, either. And that's only with 3 lbs weights! He's only done it twice with me. Once to just try it and the second time bc he was over on his daily cals and had to burn some, haha.

    Well TOM is practically gone, so I weighed today. Down 1.4 lbs from last week. I'm happy with that! Won't make ONEderland by the 8th, but that's ok. I have faith that I should be there by Halloween, if not a little sooner.

    As for my candy weaknesses, I don't really like chocolate much (except for dark chocolate every now and then, and hot fudge on my ice cream). I know, call me crazy. I loooove peach Jolly Ranchers and I wish I could buy just an entire package of peach ones instead of buying the multi-flavored pack and picking out all the peach ones. As for dislikes, I really hate those black/orange wrapped peanut butter things and anything licorice related (Good & Plenty, Mike & Ikes, etc). As you can see, candy in the house doesn't tempt me, so Halloween isn't a big deal for me.

    I wish I didnt really like candy but I love it. Anything with chocolate is my favorite.
