    I'm in.

    Haha, in the past couple years, whatever candy was left after giving it out to kids, I'd just put it in a bowl and leave it on the front step, thinking kids would take it. Went out the next morning and it was all still there. So much for that plan. But whatever is left goes in the trash.

    I don't eat candy and the like anyway. So that is easy for me to do, I already do that and have for 6+months now.

    I'm a go. It'll be hard though cause I'm still in school and teachers are always offering us candy during class around this time of year.

    No candy from October 15th to November 5th? That would be fairly easy for me. Since my grandmother are celebrating our birthdays today and sharing an ice cream cake, I'll be good the rest of the month. But I can't say the same for Christmas!

    Easy rules for me: Let my grandmother and uncle buy candies I dislike. It's been working so far!!

    Why?

    why not? :)

    Because it's a gimmick for what is truly important for weight loss which is a calorie deficit? That's my guess.

    I can think of nothing I want to do less. Halloween is serious business in my home, not having candy is basically an act of blasphemy.

    What next, no pie on Thanksgiving? No cookies at Christmas? No wine for New Years? Nay I say; best to nip this awful train of thought in the bud here and now.

    No flipping way! I'm actually making my kid bring extra bags this year since I've given up the idea of good vs. bad foods. He likes the plan a lot!!! :laugh:

    I'd sooner have a No Countdown New Years.

    And I'm not buying any for trick or treaters. Any candy I buy is MINE.

    ^ lol you sound like my bf. (he hides candy that he steals from MY stash.. and of course my two year old finds/eats it. =karma) hahaha

    I may end up going over in calories between now and then....but candy and candy corn this time of year keep me sane, I am learning how to have one portion and be done.

    1. As long as my kids go trick or treating, I won't deprive myself. 2. If I have the extra calories, for sure I'll have some. Now if it's a Take 5.....I will do an extra workout or 2 to have those!! Yum!:happy:

    I'm going to open all of the wrappers so parents get mad and won't let their kids have any.


    Mmmm... butterfingers...

    I'm in, but only because I don't like candy :laugh: Our family runs one of the candy stations at our church's trunk n treat event every year and last year I only had one package of fun sized m&ms, even though I had pretty much limitless access to candy for three hours (not including the bags of candy my kids brought home from trick or treating too). This year we're helping out again and I may or may not snag some m&ms, but I'm not really big into those either. I much prefer salty/savory snacks.

    I'm doing the Whole Life Challenge. So sugar of any kind (honey, maple syrup, agave etc.) is out for me through Nov 2nd. I can do no candy.
