    I have decided to give up most dairy products,most grains like breads and pasta, processed foods, fast foods, sugar, regular salt, any junk foods, juices, sugary drinks, products with artificial sugars, etc. I am not sure if I want to start eating them again after I lose weight. Those foods are how I got here in the first place. Plus I feel a lot better when I do not eat them. I hope that once I am finished I will not crave or want them at all.

    alcohol b/c I'm pregnant. Other then this, nothing. I still have my chocolate bars, candy, donuts, my daily iced capps, McDonalds, etc. So long as it fits into my allotted calories and I am still getting the right amount of nutrients to properly feed the babies, then I can eat the junk too and enjoy every lip smacking moment of it.

    Remember, success is about moderation.

    I've given up the habit of overeating and being a couch potato.

    Soda (cola in particular), but not completely. Mostly because I just had nearly ALL my teeth fixed, and don't wanna EVER go through it again, and I think soda was a big cause of my tooth problems. I'll still have it periodically though, and other than that, I haven't given up anything!

    Habits? Cereal for breakfast and a snack before bed every day. I still eat it before bed occasionally, but not like before.

    Other than that - nothing. I still eat burgers (homemade and In-N-Out - yum!), pizza, ice cream, drink alcohol, etc. I drink sodas sometimes, but it's the natural Hansen's stuff made with real sugar.

    Life change, baby. I'm not going without my favorite foods for the rest of my life, so I've changed my habits to enjoy them in moderation, eating healthier the majority of the time, and being more active. :drinker:

    Dairy, Gluten and Caffeine. However, I "gave these up" for more reasons than "diet".

    I started having migraines when I was 18. I tried (poorly and unsuccessfully) to pin-point my triggers and avoid them. Caffeine seemed to make them worse (I've worked in a coffee shop for 7 years), so although I was never a coffee drinker, I stopped drinking espresso based beverages a few years ago. This seemed to help. More recently, I've been experimenting with reducing wheat grains in my diet and eating a gluten-free diet. I've done it 80/20 for a year and 100% the last two weeks. I am also lactose intolerant, thus avoid it as much as possible, regardless of my "diet" and have Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Making these diet changes have helped tremendously with how I feel. I am no longer bloated (feels like a 20 lb weight loss!) and my migraines have been significantly reduced - I can almost tolerate their presence in my life).

    For my current weight loss goals, I haven't "given" up anything in particular. I still eat out (avoid gluten and dairy at all cost) and I still snack on snickers and ruffle chips more often than I should. But I 'm taking a multivitamin (yay new good habits!) and staying under my daily/ weekly calorie goals!
