So...,I thought now would be a good time to nix the sweets for a lil bit. I'd love someone to do it with me. I am doing no candy, cookies, cake, ice cream, choclate..only sugar free items and of course fruit. Is is very hard for me, because everyday I eat at least one sweet, especially at night. Anyone want to join me?? :)

    I'll join you. Though I don't think it would be very hard for me since I am not a big fan of candy and chocolate in general, but ice cream is my weakness!

    I'm doing the same thing, except no sugar free fake sweets either. I also don't eat corn, dairy, or wheat, so it's going to be super tough to nix the sweets too. That's like 30% of my calories.

    It would probably benefit me.... It will benefit me... This is my first time on a diet and Im lacking discipline. So I guess Ill start this outright. Whooo. This is a big step for me!

    I will join you, since it was my intention to go sugar & artificial sugar free for Lent anyway. I will start tomorrow though, since I already had a small Valentines cupcake today, that my boss gave me and there was no way of not eating it without offending him: (

    This is my plan as well. I have such a weakness for sweets it's like I can't resist them. So I am working on it during lent. And also Pizza.

    I decided a couple days ago that sweets were what I was going to give up for lent! I eat something sweet about 2pm everyday...I guess thats when work gets boring sometimes. I just always do it so I'm trying to kick the habit!

    Charelg, I will join you for lent, or for as long as you like. I'm diabetic, and have given sugar, cake, pie, etc. up for good. Don't feel too deprived if you can't have it for just 40 days.

    In other words, YOU GO GIRL! You can do it!

    I am in! OMG, I really hope to resist.. Chocolate is my passion, I use to have a sweet treat every day, but it is not healthy at all! Let's try it!
