CHALLENGE! NO FASTFOOD MAY!

MFT2010

Who's in? I'm starting my 2nd month challenging myself not to eat fast food

Welcome aboard you can do it!

Ms_Natalie

I would love to join! I'm having a small chinese tonight with a gal pal and that will be my final one for a month! I don't eat fast food very often, but would still love to get involved in the challenge !

I'm in for trying too. With two small kids we tend to get sucked into a lot of fast food. Our fault I know. This will help me get into the kitchen to create new dishes!

does subway count????

MirandaJayne

I'd be in, but just to clarify what counts as fast food? Are we talking places that have drive throughs only? Or do restaurants count? I.E if I go to dinner at Lonestar or go out for Indian with my girlfriends does that count as fast food?

squoozyq

Does chocolate count? It's the only bad thing I tend to eat......

MFT2010

I count anything with a drive thru as fast food... subways don't so I don't count that either restaurants are fine!


glad ya'll are in!

If we don't count Subway, I'm in! I did horribly at No Fast Food April (I only lasted a week!), so I'm going to give May a shot!

I think maybe we should include pizza to the fast food list though they don't have drive throughs

The Godfathers I used to work at has a drive through!

And I'm in!

hahaha, this whole fast food definition is getting more complicated by the minute.


The hardcore challenge I saw on the news once, wasn't about saying "let's not eat this food", so much as let's just say "let's eat whole/slow foods" <----i would fail on that one for a week even!

I just saw your Blog Miranda - looks like you have the best chance of pulling off the slow foods for sure! and i never knew about the DINK acronym, so I guess I know what my wife and I are now lol.

LOL I never knew about DINKS until about a year ago and now I embrace it like nobody's business!

Thanks for checking out the blog and the confidence. :bigsmile:

Wait.. does that make me and my fiance SINKS? (single income no kids) Haha.

And I'd say the definition of fast food.. any place (barring Subway.. I think Subway is on another plane all together) that doesn't have waitresses or tables.

bowbee

I'm totally in!!

Ummmm, you're so sweet. Thanks for the plug. :happy: I haven't seen the movie or read the book Julia&Julia, so is that a good thing? hehe :embarassed:

But everyone go ahead and check out the blog

I'm in! Might even be able to get the family to do this one. Since I don't eat very much fast food, I will try to go without my Starbucks and Second Cup....I have a weakness for Lattes.

I'm so in!!! New to the site and this looks like a great way to get started. Busy mom here has a habit of driving thru Mcdonalds...that just happens to be 1 1/2 blocks from my house!! I can smell the food from my front porch!! So I'm getting the kids and DH in on our goal.

Always_lil_j

I'm in!!!! Saturdays will be my hardest days cause we go out of town for my man's softball games and always end up driving through somewhere. Tomorrow morning I am packing a cooler with food so we can all eat healthy!

sixtyinchesoffury

I'm in!!!! I did the April challenge was horrible about checking in, but I just realized today I went an ENTIRE MONTH without eating, Taco Bell, McDonald's, BK!!! That's pretty I awesome considering I was eating TB bean burritos about 3x a week! Amazing I'm not single:laugh:

I did eat Chipolte and Subway. I feel like these are fresh foods and they make it really easy to get smart, high fiber meals.

Good luck to all and I'll try to be better about updates :drinker:

I'm in just as long as the salads I order from Wendy's don't count.... I get them once a week during my lunch break at the college, and I don't use their dressing.

FabiolaEnvy♥

i wouldnt mind joining... but i have one papusa leftover and i was gonna save it for tomorrow and eat it... but, that would consider a fast food wouldnt it???

i dont want it to go to waste.. is it ok i eat it and the rest of the other days i dont? i know i can do it.

lnixon

I am in. I just looked at my bank account and every day contained one or more fast food resturants. I am a student with a small child so either my husband or I will generally pick up food or get home only to realize we are too tired to cook and will go back out to get something. This will give me the start I need.

lilykarger

oh yeah im in.. this is easy.. lol

Ryhenblue

No fast food in April wasn't bad so I'm in for May too.

sixtyinchesoffury

hey all!!! just wanted to check in and see how everyone is holding up. I am totally shocked I've continued to do this challenge going

on week 6 :drinker: you know you are driven when instead of going through a drive though ( that was me 6 weeks ago) you

actually stop at a store and buy something healthy to take back to the office. which btw takes the same anount of time :laugh:

so keep up the good work everyone and i'll do the same!!!!:flowerforyou:

Since I don't eat fast food, I decided to go without my lattes this month. I was tempted on Sunday to get a latte, my best friend offered to buy me one and I said no thank you. I had my green tea in the car and that was good enough for me. I think she was impressed that I am willing to give up something I love just to get rid of the extra weight I am carrying around.

Good goal. I'm in. I'm gonna try to make it a goal for what I feed my kids, too.

MFT2010

Thanks for checking in everyone I too am still going strong to my suprise... this week Chick-Fil-a has been REALLY tempting....

I guess I feel better but not see major results on the scale... anyone else?
