    I had two fun size candy bars and a mini cupcake (the cupcake was heavenly to me!). Managed to stay within my calories and indulge a bit, so that's a win.

    I ate two tootsie roll midgets. So not bad, taking rest of candy to the guys at work to get it out of the house since we don't have kids.

    I might take the rest of the candy out of the house cause my kid is two and he doesn't remember it exists anyway. Last year I'll be able to get away with that...... what to do about the hubby is another matter

    Lol love it. I have a 3 year old and he got exactly 5 pieces of candy and the rest are in the trash!

    You know, you could donate that leftover candy to a school. We often get donations, which are given to the counselors and classroom teachers to keep on their desks, pass out during games, and give to kids who are having a hard day and just need a little extra something. I hate to see food, even candy, thrown away.

    I am not the person who did this but too many kids have allergies that many schools wear I live will not hand out candy or treats of any kind in fear of a lawsuit.

    That's true too, but there are plenty of things that could be done with the candy. What an absolute waste of time and money. That candy could have went to other kids or the people handing it out could have saved it for something else. What's the point of trick or treating if you're just going to toss most of it away?

    I hit my goal weight this week (cue the confetti) so I felt comfortable adding a few extra calories. I had one of those Field Roast burgers, which are fattening and delicious and loaded with protein, and I had chips and a square of dark chili chocolate. Logged it all, enjoyed it all, and today I'll have a 210-calorie bowl of pho for lunch and call it even.

    I almost read over your news! Congratulations...........

    I weighed for the first time in a few days an i am actually down a couple of pounds. LOL woohoo! I did not have any of the kids' candy but I did ave a double serving of a LCHF treat. Just as good and it fit my woe.

    My kids got to eat candy last night and then save 10 things. I then packed up their chip bags to save for future movie or treat nights, saved the almost healthy juice gummies for lunch treats, made small baggies of treats for the "make a piñata" project my 8 year old has, and then we put the extra candy (as well as those with gluten and nut) into a bag in the basement to give out next halloween. Done.

    Now I just need to take down the yard full of decorations and put up the Xmas lights before it snows.

    Yesterday I didn't eat very much and ended within my goal for calories, but it was a heavier carb day than normal so a slight water weight gain. Nothing to be concerned about, my kids got a ton of candy and everyone in the house is allowed 2 pieces per day. Should last us quite some time lol. my son has discovered a love of skateboarding and basketball so he wants to stay healthy as he "exercises " lol he is too cute. I am happy to be teaching him how to have a healthy relationship with food and fitness.

    Only thing Halloween related I did was in a gym class where they had candy for us to take afterwards. So I'm kicking myself when I'm showered up and almost ready to leave because... There was a bag full of candy, more than the attendees would ever finish up. So why rather than take five of the one I did like, was I searching the bag for oooh I like that kind! And only wound up with two pieces of candy??? That's just taking things too far!

    It's Halloween! Partied it up, candied it up with no regrets! Sugary cocktails, shots after shots with friends.

    Weight loss is cool, but having a great time and making memories with friends is cooler.

    My adult candy bag looked like this:

    I...ate pretty much whatever I wanted. However, I don't believe I did too bad--maybe over by 300-400cal (so at maintenance really). No regrets; Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas only come around annually...I'll survive and take the non-loss hit (if needed) at my next weigh-in. Otherwise, I'll swim extra hard and longer on pool days to compensate a bit for the indulgence :smiley: Hope everyone had a great Halloween!

    I ate what I wanted, back to normal today. We actually had grave side service yesterday morning for a friend, had a few snacks at the church after. Then last night had a party with my cousins family had some yummy soups and a couple cookies and a piece of carrot cake she made. We had a big bingo game for the kids and grandma's with lots of candy prizes and I didn't eat any of that. Had a fun night and don't regret it. Just need to get back to normal starting NOW!!!!!!
