(OPEN) 21 Days No Junk Food Challenge!

idauria

I'm not eliminating peanut butter. I add a tbs or 2 to my protein shakes every day. But it's not one of my "binge" foods. My problem is carby snacky things like crackers and pretzels and chocolate things like m&ms, etc. So I am eliminating all wheat and sugar to avoid any potential temptations.

Is (open) meaning for anyone or is this a club only type thing? I would love to do it. I need some motivation to get the scale moving. I'm also new to the MFP site. So I'm learning my way around.......

I tried to do this on Oct 1 and just made it 5 days before I gave in to cookies - and the little candy bars at work. So far, so good today and I'd love to be able to do that for 21 days.

On the topic of peanut butter - I don't have issues with it - it's what I have the peanut butter on that's "bad."

This challenge is open to everyone! :flowerforyou:

If you join past October 10 (today), it will be shorter than 21 days, because the challenge will close on October 31, but it is still open to all.

My friend and I do a monthly challenge-we offer up a food or type of food for the month, or create a goal. For example, we might give up fast food for the whole month, or add 5 minutes of interval work to our workout when we can workout together. So it's not always about depriving ourselves of something-it's also about upping our workouts so we get stronger and more fit.

Love this challenge-we may have to do it for out November challenge!

Thanks !

I GIVE UP ALL SWEETS FOR LENT (6 WEEKS) SO I COULD DO THIS...I JUST DONT WANT TO. HAPPY HALLOWEEN ALL! :drinker:

On day 2 today and attempting to follow the list as is (not even allowing peanut butter which I already miss, surprisingly more than chocolate) and not having any snack/meal bars either (I rely on those too much sometimes for a quick snack or mini meal when I should be eating real food). I saved a lot of money on groceries this week also. I bought sunflower seed butter and may buy some almond butter this week as well. Fruit served different ways has been a great dessert replacer for me so far.

actually if you start on Oct 10 then Oct 30 is day 21, so Halloween is AFTER the 21 days!

immz35

count me innn..


I got this..... oh yeah......

emmab0902

Survived day 1 - night 1 to be more precise as that is my binge time! Even though there are five blocks of my favourite chocolate (top deck) in the house I didnt touch it, even though my kids had some

I have decided to focus my 21 days on chocolate and muesli bars as those are the things I can't have in moderation. I take my kids to burger king or mcds on a friday and was going to skip having the odd chip of theirs, but as i can have 3-5 chips and stop i am not sure whether that is an issue or not. will see. if i can make 21 days no choc or muesli bars i will be amazed!

Leah, of course I am in!

This is a SERIOUS challenge for me as I don't think there has been a day in the last 10 years where I haven't eaten chocolate.

TashanaM

I'm in but I am a day behind (i had a few unhealthy snacks today, I will just push until Nov 1st)

idauria

I did great today so far. Night time is definitely my downfall so it's going to be a challenge getting through the next few hours.

Guerita83

Im in!! But do my Fiber One oats and chocolate count??? Not sure if to stop eating those or not? Please advise, thanks!!

skinnnyxoxo

In the middle of day 1, and only gave into a small piece of chocolate! Let's keep it that way.:happy:

Fighting4Healthy

Some one please help, I am craving oreos like a mad woman. they are in my kitchen and I really want some but I am trying to abstain from the junk food. please help!

FitMama2013

Guerita - I'm still eating protein bars and other things like that which include chocolate. That's just me though - I am staying away from candy and chocolate bars that are purely junk.

skinnnyxoxo

Had 3 Blocks of chocolate today, but it's all good!
