Even with massive workouts and other than a couple of blow-outs..whoops....putting the candy into my calorie intake...since Halloween I have put on over THREE POUNDS. Like straight up three pounds. Not water weight. *sigh* I always have this hope that maybe that big calorie blowout of a day or two will help shock my system like it does others and help me lose. Erm....no. So even with 1000 calorie burns....over three pounds. Shoot me!!

    Today is my weigh in day and I won't even get on the scale with all the candy I ate the past week. I can't help myself ! I've eaten so much candy that even working out, I'm still over my calorie intake for the day. Don't get discouraged. Just get back into your routine and the weight you gained will come right off ! good luck :)

    I can't stay away from the candy either. I have been doing the 30 day shred and feel like I am just ruining everything I did.

    I am so glad I hate sweets!!! It is chocolate that gets me....or cake but I've never been a fan of sweets.

    Feel sorry for you sweetie folk at this time of year - Halloween is mean!!!

    Hope you manage to bin those sweetie pounds soon!!! :)

    I was the same way. When I go through this last week and look under my snack tab, it is ridiculous the amount of calories I have wasted with candy.

    Finally, I convinced my daughters to "sell" it to me. I let them each pick out 5 pcs. plus we gave them $5. I brought all the extras to work and dumped it on the table in the break room (I work in an ER) it was gone within 2 minutes!!! :D I just needed it out of the house - I have no control when it comes to chocolate. 1 fun size bar is fine for 60 (ish) calories - but when you eat 5...YIKES!!!

    Good luck with your next weigh in.

    Why don't you take it to work or trash it. Is it really worth 3 lbs.

    Just brought mine to work this morning! I'm right there with you........ even though I've been tracking my food, and staying within my calorie intake, I gained 3 lbs!!!!!! What in the world!

    BUT, it is pretty bad when you're saving calories JUST so you can eat some Halloween candy. Which is exactly what I've been doing :-(. GOOD RIDDANCE sweet little twix, 3 musketeers, and whoppers..... I'll miss you

    I put all the kids Halloween candy out in the freezing cold garage. I don't like going out there just to get a piece of candy.
