Hi guys!
Tomorrow is the start of June, start of a new month - a new you?
I am going to be carrying out a month-long zero-sugar challenge! This entails only eating naturally occurring sugars (e.g. fruit, anything that hasn't been 'added' or refined), so no sweets, chocolate or crap! Anyone with me?
Or maybe you have your own challenge this month?

    I love a challenge, but I have a pint of ice cream every Sunday, and creamer in my coffee.

    I could easily skip the ice cream, but my coffee needs sweet.... And I need coffee.

    I feel you friend, its exam season for me so I live off coffee. Perhaps you could carry out the challenge with the exception of your coffee treats?

    I'll be with you in spirit. Haha. I add a tablespoon of sugary creamer to my Rice Krispies too.

    I gave up sweets and candy last year for Lent, and nobody will ever let me do that again. It was really rough since I wasn't dieting at the time either. I'm a sugarholic.

    I would love to join this challenge. I use Splenda in my coffee and allow 2 cups a day and 1 Splenda packet in each cup. Lots of parties this month so going to be hard to avoid the dessert table.

    So how did yesterday go? I feel like I'm coming down off heroine or something. Should get better from here, right?

    Doing great! Am seeing pounds lost on the scale, but want to wait until it's been a week so I can see what the balance is after 7 days. Feeling good.
