Is there something unhealthy that you do?
How about an unhealthy food you've been unable to give up?

This week, kick the bad habit, get rid of that unhealthy food, and stick with it for 7 days! After 7 days, you might have broken the habit and give it up entirely :drinker:

    This is an excellent and timely challenge for me! I enjoy my wine too much, and too often. I am going to kick it for the whole week for sure, and am actually shooting to give it up for the entire month of January!

    I will not eat peanut butter without measuring - just one serving not one jar!

    How interesting that someone else other than my DH struggles with it! Good luck to you!

    Does this begin on the 2nd?

    I will give up sweets for the week. I REALLY cut back anyways, but honestly, I don't indulge in bad things very often.

    I think I need to cut out pop, even though I drink diet coke I know it isn't good for me. Here's to being pop free this year (except for rum and cokes! :D)

    I have a bad habit of not getting enough veggies in so i'm going to be sure to have some type of green veggie during one of my meals for the week and hope that this is a trend that will stick for the road ahead :smile:
  • I need to limit my intake of sweets. Especially candy. That's my addiction so heres to limiting myself to 1 candy a week. It'll be good for me!! Good luck everyone!

    I don't believe in completely avoiding anything (well, I almost completely avoid most bad things already so there's not much left to banish) but I'll try not to eat sweets or pop or anything for the week (I've had tons during the holidays so I don't even feel tempted to eat all that crap anyway). Friday I'll be having chocolate though (spa day with girls and we're having a chocolate fountain but I'll be eating all fruit with the chocolate! :D )

    Give up soda even the one glass a day that I have drinking.
  • I will give up chocoalte for the week. Now that is hekka hard.
  • I will give up excuses for the week! I can get up early and pound it out with Leslie or Jillian:smile:
  • This week I will give up goldfish crackers! I know it sound silly but I could eat a whole bag if I don't pay attention! So if I need a snack carrots or apples it is! Swim away little fishes!

    And to those going without peanut butter, I wish you luck! I love peanut butter!!

    Not eating fruits and veggies. My challenge will be to get at least 3 servings of fruits and veggies every day. I know that is not the recommended amount, but honestly, there are weeks when a fruit or veggies doesn't cross my lips. :embarassed:

    No Soda! and No Cigarettes for me!!! I can't lose weight drinking soda all the time and still smoking. Funny, it's been easier without the cigarettes, than the soda!! :laugh:
