8 wk challenge day 1

This is my day 1 of the challenge and yesterday was Halloween, Candy is everywhere and i am having sugar withdrawl. If i can make it 1 week, I think I will be completely detoxed. Just needed to shout out! Help. Melinda

I am going to try to so the 8 week also.... I need to get rid of Peanut Butter . It has been my IF I HAVE TO HAVE SOMETHING thing for a long time . It however has alot if calories in it and I am wanting to lose 10 lbs .. I am 3 years out this month and it is starting to be a struggle now ............Go**** is depressing .... Shirl

Welcome to the challenge to you too! Sometimes the best thing is to purge your house of trigger foods. If PB is yours, PB be gone! Good luck, Kathy

Welcome to the challenge! Even before WLS, I learned that keeping away from sugar meant that my craving disappeared. Detoxing can really help. Good luck to you, Kathy

Thank you both for being there. It is scary that a substance as "innocent" as food can have this much power over an individual. I am truly shakey, irritable and extremly hungry. No candy as of yet. I'm holding strong. Melinda

I started the 8 weeks by getting back into the pool---at 6am no less! It felt great and I'm glad I did. Today I am wearing my pedometer, which is the 2nd part of my 8 week challenge. I was planning to try for 10,000 steps a day. But here it is just after lunch time and I am already up to 7300. I think I may have to revise my goal upward. How cool is that? It just shows how much my mobility has increased. The first day I wore a pedometer was 6 months pre-op. I didn't get up to 750 steps. All day...on a work day. Now I'm 10 times that before my work day is even finished. Yea! Good luck with the detoxing and other goals.... Jeannie

Hey cool - I started swimming laps last week at tye Y - BUT AT 5:00am - have to be home and get the kiddies up by 6:20-6:30ish.....Pedometer, humm, that's a great idea. Now, I just have to go a whole day without sugar and start the detoxing business.... DeAnna

Okay, I'll bite! Give it to me....what is the 8 week challenge? I know, I know, I've heard of it before but I need details! Help! I need to detox, detox, detox! Sheryl---almost four years out!

Well, I will have to start tomorrow without the sugar. I just kept eating it today..... Better luck tomorrow (for me ).
