    You ladies are cracking me up over here! :laugh:

    I don't feel as bad knowing some of you indulged in the sweets this weekend too. I'm so mad at myself though. :mad:

    I had 4 servings of Cherry Dump Cake on Sunday...holy cow...talk about a binge!!!

    And Saturday night I ate halloween candy...too much to even keep track of. My fiance had to take it away from me! LOL!

    Back on track today...hoping to have a good week. Good luck everyone!

    Oh, it's soooo gooooood...kind of like a cobbler.

    Take 2 cans of cherry pie filling and cover the bottom of a baking pan.
    Pour a box of yellow cake mix on top of the cherries.
    Melt two sticks of butter and pour on top of the cake mix.
    Sprinkle a little crushed pecans and shaved coconut on top.
    Bake at 350 for 50 minutes

    A very good Thanksgiving dessert....my family makes it every year! (Not sure why we made it early, maybe to sabotage my NO SWEETS til Thanksgiving challenge!)

    fudgesicles-- so my daughter got a call from her neighbor friend tonight, asking her to come over and bake apple crisp with her. Off she went, and came home with a 13x9x2 hot from the oven apple crisp--

    Now come on-- how stinkin' unfair? I don't even sniff at the Halloween candy, but fresh baked apple crisp?

    Gulp--

    Fresh apples, cranberries and oats-- that's healthy, right? Not really desserty-- right???

    Fudgesicles--

    Apple crisp and I were having issues the day you started this.

    Notta for me. Day 15. Hanging strong.

    I also might add, the scale is down about 8 pounds since the day I started this. Changed my workouts- actually decreased them. (Yeah, I know.) Can't decide if it's the new workout schedule or the no sweets, but I'm not messing with what is working!

    When I started this on 10/20 I was 158.6 (coming off an out of control weekend), today I was 150.4. I am 2/10 of a pound from NORMAL BMI!

    Marla, if it's this no sweets challenge that got me unstuck from 153-154 (which I've been at since the beginning of May, give or take a few brief encounters with lower numbers and those increases over my vacations) then I have you to thank.

    Thanks!

    well congrats, ladies-- me? I have no sweets, now, until the Saturday after Thanksgiving-- told myself every slip up adds an extra day-- fudgesicles.

    Pecan pie shall wait until 11/28.

    I'm a few weeks late, but I'm jumping in. I've done really well with cutting out sweets in the past, but one a day led to a bit of a bender yesterday and now I need to get my rear in gear.

    So yeah, here I am. No more pumpkin spice cupcakes. :grumble:

    Once I get through the first day, I'm good...it's just that first day that can be harsh.

    Woo-hooooooooo-- Shuntae's here!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Well, I got it back in gear today, my friends-- my no-sweets has been unfortunately extended until Saturday, 11/28 due to lack of faithfulness-- fudgesicles.

    Sure was easier this time last year-- more motivated? Who knows-- either way, I'll make it til 11/28 now, sweet free, or die trying--
