    I'm in! I have been very slack the last 2 months and didn't eat or exercise like I should have and let 4 pounds creep back on, so I need to be more accountable! Is anyone using the Les Mills On Demand workouts? They are amazing! I can't wait to see what I will accomplish in 30 days

    No surprise that I had a slight increase. I was travelling for work the last couple of days so lots of eating out. Hopefully it falls back off by the next weigh in.

    Ok, with this candy corn opener,
    what is your plan for dealing with Halloween?



    My 2 kids bring home about 20# of candy EACH! Many of them King-size bars!
    We have a very generous neighborhood.

    Tradition is that I get to "tax" them, by taking whatever candy I choose first.
    Even if I don't tax them, there will still be almost 40# of candy in the house.

    I do "encourage" (make) them donate 5+# to the soldiers.
    That still leaves a lot of candy.


    Also, we're going to a Halloween party, which of course means a lot of food and yes, MORE candy!

    I can't run enough miles to offset the candy.
    My will power is only so strong.

    Help.

    I used to not be a candy addict until the last 2 years about (I blame my coworker who started 2 years ago and is a candy addict, we share an office). To get myself back in the swing of things I set 5 goals for October, one of which is no candy until Halloween. I did slip up and ate a mini tootsie pop on Tuesday, but I still counted that as a success as that is all I had and it was 17 calories. Not sure exactly what I will do AFTER halloween, but I may do candy only halloween, or 1 mini candy a day, but for me that triggers me to eat more of it, I also have most my families Birthdays in November (mine and 2 of my kids all within a week) so November other than birthdays and thanksgiving, Im probably just going to avoid junk food all together.

    I put all of the candy in the outside freezer. I prefer not breaking my teeth on frozen candy so it takes away the instant gratification. Also since I don't see it I can put it out of my mind easier.
