    Hi all! I am trying to get out of a weight loss plateau and get healthier overall by cutting down on added sugar. I will give you the disclaimer of extreme for me may not be the same as extreme for you. I eat a lot of candy, particularly in the evenings, and I do use sweetened creamer in my coffee. My plan for the next 10 days is:
    1. Milk instead of creamer in my coffee
    2. No sugar, honey or artificial sweeteners (including stevia, sucralose, etc) added to any of my meals
    3. One small piece of chocolate allowed for dessert each day.
    4. Fruit is ok

    Who is with me?! Post below if you are interested and your own personal goals. We will plan to post how we did every evening and be a source of motivation to one another!

    I am interested

    I had a good day again today. I have found that once I got over the cravings it has been really easy. Almost too easy. I am waiting for the bubble to burst. They had cakes at work for the last 3 days and I have not been tempted even a little bit. I would never have believed if someone told me eight weeks ago that I would have been this way.

    Blew it majorly yesterday. Both calories and sugar. Went for a run/walk to try to counteract some of the bad decisions. Oh well, another day, another try

    Weekends are the worst for me, because I'm over at my mom's a lot, and she always has a LOT of great food around. My pantry is usually pretty bare compared to hers

    I had a blow out on Friday but I have been back on the wagon since so not to much damage I think.

    I personally quit putting sugar in my coffee back in early February. I think it was one of the hardest things to I ever done. So glad I stuck with it, I do feel so much better, and swelling and joint pain have gone away. It is very hard to pass a Dunkin Donuts and not get a Iced coffee w extra cream n sugar.

    Hi friends, I'm back! I'm happy to continue this starting tomorrow. I had some indulgences on vacation but more self control than usual.
