Calling all Maintainers - join us for NO-vember!

[jlou]

Welcome FYM and D28 - glad you could join us.
One of the reasons I created the challenge is so we can prove to ourselves that given an incentive, however small, we can do it. And once you have started to do it or done it once you know you can do it again . We all did plan for around 6 months so we have the strength an determination to be able to stick to something but I think having a GOAL to work towards makes it a little easier .

Great idea!!! Count me in.

I will say no no no to:

Cakes, biscuits and lollies! Choc will be my only treat, and of course broadbeach gelato here I come next week. Day 1 tick!

ff

[jlou]

FF when do you arrive here???? We are having a catch up on Saturday...?

[forfreddie]

Not til next week : ( on 11th. Which sat is yr catch up????

[giddyupgirl]

Well this challenge has already worked for me. I was strongly tempted to 'sneak' some chocolate but thought better of it because I would have to own up to it on here and I didn't want to have to do that. You can't be sneaky when you are being accountable can you?

[louise41]

.................not when we have cameras in everyones fridges

[giddyupgirl]

[louise41]

Oh no, my secret is out!!

[Never Give Up]

SMILE - YOU'RE ON CANDID CAMERA...
had to say that hee hee!
worked out what I'm doing at last - I've got things on every weekend (unusual for me) and I'm away on 2 long weekends (unheard of for me!) soooo,
NO EATING BETWEEN MEALS
NO LOLLIES/JUNK/'DEAD' FOODS
and I think that'll do me.
LETS ALL JUST DO IT.

have a great month everyone.

[louise41]

Maybe if we did imagine there was a candid camera in our fridge when we were contemplating that treat we have pledged to give up for NOvember it would help us to be extra good and definitely not succumb!!

[jlou]

Plenty of DEAD food in my fridge for the camera to see but not the kind you were referring to NGU

[giddyupgirl]

Been good today, probably the worst I did was had a larger than allowed mango for afternoon snack, but did had a little bit less protein for dinner, not by choice but because I dropped a piece of my steak on the floor and it was instantly vaccumed up by the dog and that was all I had thawed out.

[jlou]

LOL GUG.
I had the smallest Melbourne cup lunch in history - when I got there all the non-seafood was gone except a tiny piece of roast meat. No salad, no Veges. Found some cheese but had to make a sandwich when I got home (ham cheese and tomato - first time in over a year!!) so I didn't faint it get IBS. The hunger was also making me crave liquorice and have a glass of wine!!!! So better bread than those....

[giddyupgirl]

Well that just sux, hmmm hc&t sanga, yummy, better that than the nasty's, glad you were able to say NO!!! Must find a no emoticon for us.

[jlou]

We need an emoticon for completion of the challenge too....

[giddyupgirl]

On to it, will post a couple of options for everyone to chose from if you like.

[jlou]

Cool!

I think I need to pop in here and go sugar free for the rest of the month. No biscuits, cakes, lollies chocolates or desserts.
I've proved I can live without them, so I don't need to check whether they have changed much since I last tasted.

[jlou]

Well done MUm Chum! Will certainly help with the tip toeing into maintenance!

[Never Give Up]

Hi Jlou - I thought your fridge would be packed with living good food!! lol. I have some dead things too, but they are recycled into the worm farm/compost, so I don't feel so bad about them then...by the way, what do we actually get? a mango for a week of DF? or is it one for the month? I hope its a week...I can be so WEAK at times....lol...sad but oh so true...and I'd so love even one lonely mango...I'd try really hard to make sure it gets company...
