    I have to take baby steps and only do this challenge for a week. I have to see how it goes. But Chris_Pierce that is amazing. Did you lose any weight from it yet? You must feel amazing.

    I haven't eaten out since 15 Mar, it saves money and calories to eat at home. Kudos to you for trying it!

    I've lost 4 pounds since I started MFP. Eating out doesn't really make me gain weight since I fit it into my macros as best I can.

    I'm in! Last week I wasted all my money (and calories) sitting in restaurants and coffee shops!

    OK had a big piece of failcake today. On the way home from the gym my son was complaining he was starving and talked me into stopping at Chipoltle. At least lunch was relatively healthy. I can think of far worse places to stop. Honestly, I forgot about this thread.

    I could easily not eat out for a week but I can't and won't give up my daily coffee.

    You don't have give up coffee. You can make your coffee. If you want to drink coffee out just get it plain. This challenge is all about trying to cut back at all the extra cals we get from eating out and a bonus of saving money. :)

    Who would like to join me in a challenge of not eating out for a week? and that includes not drinking coffee out.

    This challenge is all about trying to cut back at all the extra cals we get from eating out and a bonus of saving money. If you really need to buy coffee do so without sugar or milk or just bring your own coffee. I use to bring my instant coffee to work and have a cup there because if I bought coffee, it would always end up as a latte. lol
