60 days no chocolate...challenge anyone?

kettlenic · July 2011

Chocolate is a vice of mine...

I am going to give it up and anything with it in or of that flavour...... for 60 days starting today!

This will mean an end date of 10/09/2011.

Is anyone else up for the challenge?

I wish you would have started this in March. I have not had any chocolate since then.

TakuraHunt · July 2011

Wow... the end day is my birthday - the day my actual goal was set for (to lose 30 lbs by my 30th birthday)... hmmmm.... I'M IN

CARNAT22 · July 2011

I have become partial to chocolate in recent months (I was never a huge fan before signing up here oddly enough!) but now I have a small bar a night @ 120 cals? It is playing havoc with my blood sugar levels and I am now pretty much addicted to the nightly chocolate bar!!

So what the Hell count me in, no more choccie until 10th September!

Yay excellent!! We can use this board to update each other on how we are getting on with the challenge - Good luck

No choc since March well done!!! That is amazing

clarech · July 2011

Good luck to everyone! I crave chocolate once a month and usually use it for comfort during that time....generally the only time I really need sweets.

StacyD015 · July 2011

I dont really bother with chocolate... Can i make mine crisps? x:flowerforyou:

delilah514 · July 2011

Oh man not me! I wish you guys luck. I just love chocolate to much to go with out it for that long!

beckyinma · July 2011

Can't do it! Dark chocolate, just an ounce is really good for you.. Plus, I couldn't live without my Skinny Cows. Good luck to everyone though!

purplepollypops · July 2011

Good for you but I'm afraid I can't accept your challenge, I just have to have chocolate when I crave it! I haven't given anything up since I joined this site and that's what keeps me going, knowing that I can still enjoy my favourite food and drink AND still lose weight :happy:

Good luck to you and everyone else though

I'm so in but I've already had chocolate cereal today so will have to start tomorrow. Good luck everyone!

60 days of no chocolate?

That's just crazy talk.

CARNAT22 · July 2011

I am actually eating more choclate now than before I joined LOL!! Although I have stopped all the other crap (crisps were my true downfall)

Choccie has become my nightly treat and at 120 cals (that is 10% of my daily allowance) it is not the best thing to be eating in the evening.

I want to try this 60 day challenge to encourage myself to seek an alternative and more healthy nightly treat.

(do Weight Watchers Lemon slices count as healthy? LOL)

SKINNYME1988 · July 2011

Yes please...I will need support

though...just had my last bite!!!
yay...

I've compromised. I love dark chocolate, but I'm using cocoa as a staple.

Cocoa has very few calories (10 per tablespoon). It's very tasty when made hot with water instead of milk. Use your favorite sweetener or sugar, and add "milk" (soymilk, creamer, cream, milk--whatever you prefer) as you would to coffee. Or just leave out the milk entirely.

I make it in a large latte cup -- 2 tbsp cocoa, sweetener to taste, a dash of salt (optional, but it enhances the cocoa flavor), and 1/4 to 1/2 cup 2% milk. (You also get some dairy protein with it if you use milk.) It's easy to alter it according to the size of mug/cup you have.

I also add some cocoa to my chocolate protein shakes to give them a richer chocolate taste without adding too many calories.

Hell no! lol good luck everyone else though

FatGirlSlim89 · July 2011

This is one I know I can do- I have a dairy allergy so can't eat it anyway

timjai · July 2011

Not a chance i'm afraid even if I wanted too

TheGoktor · July 2011

I wish you would have started this in March. I have not had any chocolate since then.

I've not had any since the beginning of April.....and I don't miss it at all! Good luck to everyone!

kettlenic · July 2011

I feel like i need too to prove to myself I do not need it!

Glad to have peeps on board - thanks for the encouragement

jojopel · July 2011

I can't do it. Every now and again, I crave chocolate. I've realized over the past couple of months that I'm better off satisfying my craving otherwise I over do it on other stuff. Best of luck!

CARNAT22 · July 2011

How is everyone getting on? Day two and no chooccie for me!

hquinn92 · March 2014

I may be like 3 years late BUT I'm wanting to do a no chocolate/cake/biscuit challenge. Anyone interested?

briniepoo · March 2014

Im up for this! If I eat a single piece, I fail and eat everything in sight!! A month away to help settle the cravings should do nicely!

rosebette · March 2014

I have to eat a piece of dark chocolate at least once a week. If I give that up, it has a ripple effect -- my family, my co-workers, and my students (I teach) would all have to suffer. So for me, no dice!
