Thanks for starting this group, I'm glad I found it....I want to start from November 1st too. I'm already drooling over the chocolates in the pic used for this group though...
Chocolate is my biggest weakness and biggest distraction on this weight loss journey. (+ cheese!)

If I can go this entire month without chocolate and sweets I'll think about keeping it up all through December too, even though there are so many family birthday's & festive holidays during that month, I'll challenge myself! (But not promising to it though.)

Great idea! I am in. I will start TODAY.... because as I always say... if it weren't for chocolate and cheese? I would look like Cindy Crawford. :laugh:

We don't get that many kids for Halloween, so we always have extra candy. This year my son is too old to go out and I bought Almond Joys/ Mounds to hand out since I don't like coconut. This is going to be hard regardless!

Hi Guys.

I'm in - if you'll have me?! I have a hen-do at the end of November and I think just stepping away from chocolate may be the push I need to get into my dress. Its not a big thing for me but it can easily be the thing I start eating to take me over the edge into binge territory.

I will start Tues 30th as I have to bake some cakes for Halloween in the office and as one of them is a chocolate graveyard cake it will help me to avoid taste testing it.

I'll start Nov 1st but I'm giving up ice cream. I know I can give up choc but ice cream , thats the killer.

Starting November 1st here! Great idea! Cookies are my weakness so this will help me get over the hump. Good luck all!

Im just finishing off 'Choctober'!! I havent had chocolate for 30 days now, its madness. But it sure makes it easier to hit calorie goals when I am not trying to rearrange my day to sneak in as much chocolate as possible!!

Im going to try and continue as far into november as I can...

But I agree - come december, that advent calender is waiting for me!!

Good luck everyone!! Ill consider myself continuing onto a non chocolate November too. Lets see how we go.

Stupid thing is, im making white chocolate cheesecake with passionfruit for a work thing tomorrow... on the 31st... one day too early! But I guess im saving myself more ways than one!

This is so cool, I have been chocolate free for 3 weeks now! Its actually not that hard. The most important thing is not to buy any at the supermarket, so that you are not tempted. I am keen to continue in November. But I will be having some chocolate at Christmas!

i'm gonna join in. did a week and that was hard! fingers crossed!

Oh wow, this is the best idea ever!!

I'm such a massive sugary sweet toothed person! I need as much motivation as I can to get me off the chocolate! :-) looking forward to chatting to you all and us all smashing our goals!

Good luck and keep posting!

Please feel free to add me, just mention that you're in the group.

I know how you feel haveing the biggest sweet tooth and all. My biggest problem is the time of year. I love to bake for the grandbabies all those yummy cookies, as well as for my husband. I made a double batch of chocolate chip cookies just 2 days ago.
I've only had 1 cookie and believe me it has been very hard walking threw the kitchen. But I have Faith in all of us that If we want to walk away from all the sweets not just chocolate that we can. Best Of Luck To All

I'm in too - (I actually joined the group yesterday but I don't see my post!) I've been trying for a bit more than a week to avoid all sweets, except for agave in my coffee - broke the record this past Sunday when we had a party for my son and daughter in law, but back to it these last days - thanks for starting this - I love these challenges in particular!

gave all my chocolate away yesterday at Halloween hula! so there is none in the house an now I have no excuses!
