    Carbs, carbs and more carbs! That and spending the majority of my adult life (since I moved out of my parents house) chronically under-eating and drinking tons of 'empty' calories (alcohol and multiple energy drinks a day).

    Without a doubt, fast food and eating out. One meal at a restaurant or drive-thru would equal 1200+ calories most of the time (1200 is supposed to be my daily caloric intake). So, it's no wonder that I gained so much weight. It is a bit shocking how many years I went eating almost 3,000 calories a day and not even knowing it.

    Cookies....well, any dessert really. My husband manages a big bakery and he loves to bring home treats. I have lots of trouble saying "No!".

    For me it was greasy fast food and desserts.

    But honestly, I can't blame the food. I was the one who put the fork in my own mouth. The food didn't jump in there!

    Mine is very sugary sweet foods like cake and candy
    And way too much pizza and fast food when the hubby and I wouldn't bring anything for lunch (which was more often than not).

    I blame myself more than the food, but now it's all good and I am definitely more conscious of what I eat.

    What made me fat was drinking, eating a whole pizza by myself in 2 sittings, mac n cheese, burgers, cheese stuffed hot dogs, cookies, ice cream.. . oh the list could go on and on. College kids have awful diets.. let me tell you!

    Now that I'm home, I've cut all that out except for maybe once or twice a week.. still gotta my "junk" sometimes!

    I have so many!

    Butter (tons of it on toast, bread etc)
    Sweet things like cake, slices, biscuits
    Party food - a demon I'm still fighting
    The fat on roast beef and pork.

    Portion sizes were also a baddy.

    Thank goodness I've found MFP!

    When i ate whatever i want whenever i wanted i reached a weight of 240-245. This included about a case a beer a week which is 10,650 cals a month. I've reduced that to 1/3rd to around 2640 beer calories a month. The funny thing is i never gained passed a certain point no matter how much i ate or drank. Other then that i rarely eat desserts although i do love ice cream i avoid it now. I don't eat candy , never really have much and i no longer eat bagged snacks ie chips, pretzels, dorito's etc, etc. When i eat pizza which is a rare occasion it's 1-2 slices and not 4-6 Being a PIG when it came to food and drink made me become like one Now when i eat i ask myself what benefit does this food do for me and needless to say everything i do eat now is nutritious. Amazingly i eat tons more food now then when i was seriously overweight and i've been losing every week since the 1st of the year.

    What fruits and veggies have carbs????

    All fruit have carbohydrates....fruit has natural sugar and sugar is a carb. Veggies that have carbohydrates are starchy ones...potatoes, corn, peas, some squash...

    me too! I lived in the drive thru! and also loved those fancy blended coffee drinks....
