I'm jumping on the nuh uh boat. I know I wouldn't be able to last a week, much less a month. Best of luck to you who take up the challenge!

I don't have to!
You can't make me!!
Seriously, I am very selective about my sweets (on purpose so that they can be included in my daily diet). You wouldn't want me to break my diet, would you???

Though it's now possible to get canned fruit in its own juice, or in fruit juice. The canned fruit to avoid is in "syrup," heavy syrup (which means "lots of added sugar") is the worst.

Shelley-count me in. I have a terrible sweet tooth and am known to eat chocolate chips out of the bag. This may be just what I need to help me focus more on my diet. Not sure I can last a whole month, but just the effort of starting may get me going in the right direction.
Guess I'll have to give up that mid afternoon 2pt pria bar!

Alright I am in - I just told my co-worker that if I ate one chocolate candy or sweet of any kind during the week, I owe him one dollar and he will hold me to it So that will work for checks and balances in the office, and at home I will have to think of something like that as well with my husband.......like if I eat sweets, I have to scoop the dog poop that day or something.........

RE: The
I can't believe I'm doing this.....
I'm IN! No sweets for me for all of June. ACK! What have I done? Can I really do this? I'm willing to find out and do my best. I'm glad I ate 2 pieces of cake yesterday at my parent's BBQ.
I bet this will help me reach my mini-weight goal of 199.

RE: The
I am in, too! Although my kiddo graduates from kindergarten in the middle of the month, and I shall be having cake that day.
Seriously, this is a great idea. I gave up sweets for Lent and the weight just came right off. I am generally fine until I take one bite, then it is over! Addicting stuff, for sure.
Great idea!
Cheers,
Marie

This is a really awesome idea. I find I have less headaches when I'm off the sugar. It's going to be tough because that stuff is VERY addicting and EVERYWHERE, but the effort is well worth it. I think everyone is going to do REALLY well. We'll be crankier for awhile, maybe, but healthier!!!

Awww what the hell--count me in.
Me, agreeing to a whole month of giving up sweets, I must be on drugs.
Shelley, b/c I'm giving up sweets for a month, you have to give me a substition, other than drugs or alcohol, to tie me over at work from working with someone who can be SO ANNYOYING.
