    I love Scotch and Brillat-Savarin cheese. (But not at the same time.) I don't consume a lot of either, but I will never give either of them up. Quality over quantity!

    I gave up fruit juice and sweetened drinks and soda pop...for the most part. Can't tell ya the last time I had soda pop. Maybe 2011?

    This. Though I have found lower calorie options for a few things (diet coke instead of regular, light ranch instead of regular etc).

    Monster Java. I will not give that up. It is 220 calories a can, but it also has B vitamins, C, potassium and a quite a bit of protein. So it is my breakfast.

    I won't give up the two or three glasses of wine or cocktails I have over a weekend. I log the calories and rarely drink during the week. I also have one babble cheese every day. Its portion controlled so I am not in danger of eating too much and I look forward to that little treat every afternoon :)

    Coffee, dark chocolate (okay, any chocolate), wine, beer

    So mostly drinks! But I make them all fit into my daily calories. Not willing to cut back on any at the moment.

    Ice cream, candy, chips. If I'm trying to lose a few pounds, I'll try to make substitutions like Halo Top, Pure Protein Bars and Quest chips. Otherwise, one or all three usually end up being daily consumed.

    I'm quoting myself because apparently my reading and replying skills were on pause.

    I didn't give up anything other than soda pop and fruit juice. I can't stand diet, so that's not even an option. Pretty much all I drink is water or my one cup of coffee in the morning with sugar, chocolate and heavy cream.

    I haven't given anything up because giving it up would make me crave it like crazy and eventually binge. Though I have made some changes to the way I eat and there are foods I won't/can't keep in the house like chips or cookies, but I don't tell myself I'm not allowed to have them ever I just have them on special occasions. For example I will have cookies when I visit my parents or have chips when I'm at a party because I am in public and I can control myself, but at home alone I can easily scarf down a whole party bag of chips.

    chips, those are a must for me- now I buy the single size bags of my favorites- and leave them out in the car- I take 1 bag out each night for my nightime snack;lol

    Half and half in my tea, and rum (but not in tea). Actually, for the purpose of weight loss, I haven’t really given anything completely up.

    Have you tried the nugo slim bars? They are my new favorite protein bar and they really satisfy my need for dessert when I'm cutting (which is not to say that I have given up any desserts, either, but sometimes I want booze instead and it's hard for me to fit both into a weekday on a cut).

    They are crispier than PP bars and actually taste like chocolate. New fav thing (they only have ~17g of protein, tho nugo has a line with 25g also - doesn't taste as much like a candy bar, tho).

    Anyway! I won't give up tortilla chips, but I do have to cut back in the number of days that I eat them because that salty goodness with guac or with salsa... I can eat my weight in them. Mostly I sub popcorn if I don't have the cals for chips.

    I have not given anything up. I just make sure it fits into my calories. HOWEVER I am trying to make wiser choices-I won't eat it if it's not amazing. I was eating anything that was there for the sake of eating it. I am trying to make choices around my treats and making sure it's something I really enjoy.

    Diet Coke (although I have cut down considerably)
