    I am torn between cookies and ice cream. I think it will be the ice cream. I can't resist the stuff

    popcorn. I'm addicted to it, and eat it everyday. I think it is what is hindering my weight loss.

    Desserts when I go out to eat, or simply something sweet after a meal. It's gotta go!

    I must agree with most here. My biggest weakness has been blue bell ice cream, and moreso anything sweet in between meals and even throughout the night. I know for a fact my sugar intake is hindering my weight loss.

    I'm thinking chocolate. All sugar and baked goods are my weakness but it's a biggie.

    CHIPS! Most salty foods, but chips are definitely my weakness.

    Chocolate chips, my favorite go to when I am craving something sweet. It is just too easy to grab a few and lose track of how many I eat. I want to work on not having a "sweet" at night before bed.

    It's funny that I found this group when I did. I was just thinking how on the days where I manage to stay below my calorie goals, I might have 50-300 calories left. And I take up the rest of the calories up by eating Better n' Peanut Butter. It's not fattening, but I bet I might start making some progress after the holidays if I stop snacking on it so much! I've got 5 jars left, so whatever I don't finish this month will be staring me in the face once January starts. I'm going to try to give it up for the month anyway though. :)

    Cupcakes and cake are my guiltiest of pleasures. Do to my daughter's birthday, I will be starting the challenge on Jan 1. Her birthday is Dec 31.

    Ooooh. This is tough. But maybe it's what I need to have a really great January. So, here goes: late-night munching. I have been excusing myself because I try to keep it within my calorie limits, BUT it's a bad habit when I do it almost every day. Let's see if I can break that habit this month, and then allow myself an occasional indulgence after that! :wink:

    *Get plenty of filling proteins. :love:
    *Make it your new workout time. :flowerforyou:
