I am definitely in too. I love these mini challenges, they really help keep me on track. Just getting back from vacation, chinese food, pizza, birthday cake, I need this one for real.
I got up this morning & did 20 minutes on the treadmill and 20 on the stationery bike.. Now I'm having a nice OP breakfast [2pc. turkey bacon, grits, and a peach]
This was a great idea Amy.. Accountability is a must for me at this point in time.. it's so easy for me to get sidetracked!!
Ok so yesterday I did take off and stayed POP the entire day!
Today...POP so far, hope to keep it that way all day. WI tomorrow, hoping the scale is down!
I was POP yesterday if I am counting exchanges from my maintenance plan. Problem is, I need to get a few lbs off from the weekend. But still POP. Just close to TOM and I want to eat everything in sight.
Does anybody have a problem with if you eat, you want to eat more, but if you don't eat, you can do without it? It just seems like, if I ever eat something, I want to continue eating until I am stuffed. When TOM especially.
I may have to plan another TO tomorrow and then try to stick POP after that. I am up the 3 lbs I lost for the Halloween Challenge.
I do that too Amy. If I don't eat then it's like I forget all about it and don't feel hungry or the need to eat. But once I start eating, look out I'm on a feeding schedule so don't get in my way!!!
I can't do TO (it gives me migraines) so the COD told me today to drink 4 oz juice and 4 oz water every day for 8 days but count it as 2 fruits and it would give me the same benefit as doing TO. Gonna start that tomorrow and see how that goes. I'll let you know in 8 days.

I thought I was the only one like this. I can go all day (before LAWL) not eating and once i start, I couldn't stop. Especially carbs, for some reason. Happened when I had a procedure that I had to prep and then do liquid diet for 2 days. I was thrilled because I lost 6 pounds in those two days, then I ate (and ate,and ate, .....)
Okaaaay you talked me into it... lol... All that halloween candy has got me feeling reallllly guilt (and a little sick to my stomach!!!!) I am starting tomorrow! (11/1)
POP for me today so far.. I have a starch and a dairy left so I'm going to have some cheese and crackers and call it a night. I had a whole bag of my favorite candy (Sweet Tarts) for the Trick-or-Treaters sitting in front of me at work for the past 3 hours with noone to stop me from digging in and I have resisted, so I'm very proud of myself!!
I was not POP today, had a bite of cookie but it wasn't even tasty so didn't finish it. I had SF hard candy when I craved sweets, which helped. So much food today at work, potluck, open house, and little jack-o-lanterns full of candy seemingly in every office...so although I had some cookie it could have been MUCH worse. Tomorrow's another day!
Liz, Roberta-glad you are joining us!! Anyone else who feels the need to be accountable come on down!
Amy, Emily, Laurie-CONGRATS! You made it through Halloween POP!! I could not believe that I was passing out snickers and reeses and kit kats to all of those kids and did not have a SINGLE piece!! VICTORY! This challenge is what did it. Luckily I saved a lite for the evening time and ate it as soon as I felt like I was going to give in! We still have candy left...going to make dbf take it to work!
Kimberly-glad you are going to join in! We are so close to the holidays-we have to get back into being POP everyday!
Lisa-way to put mind over matter and stop eating when you realized it wasn't good enough to cheat!
Amy-it's TOM for me too and it makes me feel like I have a hallow leg. Nothing fills me up! I am starving right now and out of food to eat. I just keep telling myself "this too shall pass"-I'm not going to die!
Ok ladies-let's make it 3 days! Watch those nibbles!
I'm going to try to promise to post my diary tomorrow as an extra incentive to be POP.
O.K., I made it through day two (10/31) being POP. Even passed out some Halloween candy last night and didnt fudge. The scale was down a pound this a.m. too, so things are good.
