    alcohol! for me, I love going out and having a drink with my friends. at this age (22) my main goal is to look good in my going clothes.. so if i have to give up my social life for it it doesn't really seem worth it for me.

    I drink probably every week, and have lost 2 stone so far so i'm not doing too badly...

    I've totally changed my attitude to food and exercise. I give up nothing, but I manage my food intake and my exercise so that I'm not having to make compromises or go without.

    I haven't given up a single thing. :) Everything in moderation.

    ETA: I take that back. I have stopped drinking soda since I started losing weight but that waisn't because I thought it would help aid my weight loss. I just decided that I was addicted to it and it was far too expensive for me to continue drinking Diet Coke in the amount I was drinking it. I switched to plain ol' water with the occasional carbonated water (because sometimes I just want that carbonation). My 17 yr. old daughter also gave up soda.

    I don't give things up, but I am willing to compromise on most things: low sodium, low fat, etc. versions of things.

    HOWEVER, lowfat cheese? eew it's like wax. I will not give up creamy full fat cheese! I just won't eat it as often.

    As long as you accurately count calories there's no need to give up anything except how much of it you consume. I still eat pies, roasts, cream sauces, curries....just less of them.

    I have given up my biggest weakness (bread and gluten). I am super stubborn that way!! I gave up meat when I was 10 years old. Only eat fish and eggs and tons of veggies. I can't eat a lot of dairy like ice cream or yoghurt because it makes me sick to my stomach and now I am only eating once a day. I am basically willing to give up whatever it takes to win this battle once and for all!!! I am sick sick sick of being fat.

    I have a lot of trouble with sugar. I try to eat as much sources of natural sugar to fill my craving. If I absolutely need to have something sweet, I grab a Dove Almond Dark Chocolate Bar. I know it is full of sugar and fat, so I allow myself one per week on those really immensely crappy days. It is better than grabbing some Breaded Cheese sticks from the deli, which I have trouble giving up any cheese in general (I love pizza, so we make it ourselves instead of ordering it out or getting frozen pizza). Also, I have an issue giving up energy drinks. I've gotten myself to drink V8 Fusion + Energy, but every now and then I have to have a Sugar Free Red Bull. I know if I could get myself not to drink caffeine for a week, then I wouldn't need it at all. My excuse is, I have to work evenings, between the hours of 2pm to 10:30pm.

    So at the risk of being repetitive.... Nothing. If I want it, I eat it, then bend the rest of my day around it. No big deal. There are things that aren't worth it to me though. But I didn't give them up, I just don't want it...like soda, crackers,. kid candy (star bursts and junk like that.) I work at a front desk and theres a giant dish of it right there, but I don't care, thats all crap...Now if it was chocolate we would have a problem!!!!
