The Halloween Candy Experiment

I will be conducting an (NON-SCIENTIFIC) experiment. My weight has been stable for the last month, +/- .4lb at 196.8lbs. and I've reached my goal weight. THE EXPERIMENT: I will still be eating and exercising like I'm maintaining but, I'm going to not keep track of the Halloween candy I eat. I won't eat candy 'hog wild' but I will not avoid it; raiding the kids 'SWAG bags' and partaking in office snacks. So, next Friday will be my weigh-in and we'll see what kind of weight gain happens in a week just from Halloween candy.

    Not sure what you mean by this comment. Are you saying that men don't have a problem with weight gain?

    hehe - this is kind of awesome.

    I like a lot of other females and not very many males I know, don't have the same emotional attachment to sugar/candy.

    Good luck!

    Alright Dan, what's the verdict? I had my share and either gained a pound or did not move one way or the other. Depending on all the variables that go into that silly scale number. I do think all that sugar fueled me to my first start to finish 5k this morning.
