    this is a challenge I had already set for myself for March (along with about 4 other challenges) so its nice to see a thread on it.

    This will be hard for me, last year I was eating takeaways 3 nights a week, in January I brought that down to once a week, Feb once every so often and now its ZERO for March!

    I may stop at Mcdonalds only for a salad as long as I use a light dressing. I also stop in the morning for black coffee. Does this count??

    No this does not count. I also eat MCD salads. They are the best value if you are lazy like me and don't like making salads daily.

    This is a great idea! I definitely want to do it too. My husband even said he'd do it too! I'm including pizza in my challenge also! Can't wait to check in Monday! Great idea!

    I generally only have fast food about once or twice a week. When I weighed 500 plus I ate it almost daily, so I have come a long ways. In 2004 thru 2006 I did not have any fast foods because I had surgery and went cold turkey. I want to go cold turkey again and I feel if I get 2 to 3 months in cold turkey I am on my way to a NO FAST life. No fried foods. I have a friend who does eat either and even though I love it, it is not good for me therefore I want to get it out of my system.

    For March, April and May I am including pizza and chineese food. I will have these foods again at some point but very sparingly. But french fries, polishes, burgers, etc I want to go cold turkey. Like some of you stated I want to get to the point that the smell of it makes me sick.......:-) This may not happen for me but I want to get completely away from fast foods. I am also going to make Subway my fast food.

    Anyway enough about me. I made it thru yesterday without any fast foods and that means no Popeyes Chicken. I am deleting the phone numbers for all fast food joints from my cell phone today. NO more.

    Have a good week and I will check in on the weekends since these are hard too.

    This is a great challenge! And the fact that soo many ppl are interested is great. I have wanted to go no fast food for a while but it's really hard in my house of 8 where everyone eats out :( This is encouraging because I will know that I am not the only one trying it :happy:

    If you want something to help you with the fast food challenge, I can suggest a book. I have been free of fast food since Jan. 1st as my resolution. It's definitely not easy, but the book has gotten me through it ! It's called Fast Food Nation. It divulges all the dirty little secrets of the fast food industry. I encourage your mission to be fast food free and support you 110% of the way ! It's definitely one of the biggest reasons I am where I am today as far as weight and unhappiness, not to say that there aren't many other contributors. Case and point, get the book, will help a lot ! All the best !

    Thanks for support and recommendation!

    I'm in! great idea! They say it takes 22 days to create a habit, I'd like to get into the habit of not eating it ever, because Taco Bell... is my downfall!
