Gray, it's good to know you're starting out with 1nce and me. Maybe we can keep each other on the straight and narrow!

I don't eat chocolate bars (candy bars to you), but I allow myself DQ FF fudge bars or the choc pudding shakes described here on 3fc. They don't seem to make me crave "the good stuff", and I do enjoy them.

We're both starting this round at the same weight. Let's both be a whole lot lighter in 21 days, enjoying our permanent stay in Onederland!

Carla, Thanks for the nice words. I'ts comforting that a few are starting out at the same time.

Gray, I know that feeling. It will pass, but that doesn't make it easier. I know. We are here with you!

Mez, I think the combo plan sounds great!

So far, so good. End of day 2. At the moment what I would really love is a big glass of diet pepsi with lots of ice and a bendy straw. Thats the way I like it. But I know it would just screw with my sleep sched. so I guess it's gonna be a big glass of water.


challenge rounds completed

Completed Day 18 yesterday!!!

I'm sorry, but yet again no time to post much... just 10 days left until my big move and still so much to do! Red, congratulations!!!! I knew you could do it, and I totally understand what you said about the no sugar thing becoming like a habit. Good luck for your new challenge!

carla49 - Thanks for the kind words! Congrats on Day 1.

gray eyed girl - That was a very good choice to rid of the chocolate. I know at times I think I'll just take a small bite. Then its gone!! How does that saying go out of sight out of mind. Well for me it's out of sight out of my mouth, hips,waist... Congrats on Day 1!

1nceagain - Thanks I have found wonderful recipes on 3FC and that has been a HUGE help! Congrats on Day 2. I can only have stuff with caffinee in the morning if I even take a sip at night I'm wide awake.

Sushi Penguin - Congrats on Day 18!!!

New challenge for me - 96 oz of water a day! Just completing my first day!

Red sounds like you got a great challenge ahead! I know you can do it!!! I can't wait to add a challenge smiley to my signature. Miss you??!! Hummm yup I'd say so!! Your so encouraging and you have a wonderful way with words, a sense of humor... shall I go on or do you believe me??? hehe

mscat -- That is a really good challenge! One I should do... I'm terrible with drinking all my water. Humm you have planted a seed.... Congrats on you 1st day!

Yikes, Red, that's one heck of a tough challenge! But we're glad to see you back.

Mscat, you'll be floating away one of these days. I drink a lot of fluids, but I'm ashamed to admit most of it is caffeine-free diet pepsi. Yes, I am hooked.

Mez, You've only got a few days to your smiley! Believe me, it's quite an accomplishment to stick to ANYTHING for three whole weeks!

As for me, Day 2 went well challenge-wise, although there was a little too much nibbling in the evening. But this morning I'm down again, only 3 pounds away from my pre- binge week weight. I'm glad I know now not to panic at apparent 6 pound weight gains: it takes longer than a week of overindulgence to gain that much, and once the fat and salt leave the system...

Take care all, I hope Gray and 1nce are still on track and doing well.

Hi girls,
We have had a family emergency and I have to fly back to the states tomorrow. Everything will be fine-eventually. I will check in when I am able. Best of wishes for all of you in your challenges.
