Pizza... to calorie/fat heavy. I want it but it's just not worth it to eat for me now. I think about ALL the other stuff I could have for those calories and can't make myself just eat the pizza! .... and I know if I buy a pizza I will eat it until ALL gone.. nope not going there!0

Ive only given up on going my local Chinese buffet, I cant justify spending $13 and only having a cup of this and a cup of that for that that price. Otherwise I have given up nothing.0

Chips
Beer
Fried foods
I will never give up chocolate.... No negotiations there!0 -
soda and bread0

Starbucks -- I haven't been there since I started MFP and I don't miss it. I still have my coffee at home, but I have no desire for the fancy lattes or frapuccinos, etc. It was a daily ritual, and I'm glad I broke the habit. I figure I'm saving about $1300 a year just by not stopping at Starbuck's on the way to work.0

Soda/Bottled Juices
Candy
Beef/Pork
I'm working on chips, bread, and ice cream.0 -
Pumpkin pie.
Of course, I've always hated it, so...0 -
Meat but not for weight loss purposes.
For weight loss I haven't given up anything and won't. The "bad" foods I love I will still have but will have smaller portions or get an extra workout in to give me the cals needed.0 -
Limited, certainly ... some very limited. Giving up entirely? Nothin'0
-
Fried Food and Soda and FLuff0
-
Soda and fruit juices. I make crystal light gallons for my family and I instead. It's just sweet enough with none of the guilt.
FIY: Did you know that if you add baking soda and peroxide to a 1/4 bottle of MT. Dew you will have a homemade GLOW stick (or bottle)?
That alone makes me never want to touch that stuff!0 -
Definitely giving up the drive thru is the best one all around! I refuse to buy take out at all anymore. I cook at home and save so much money and guilt. I've also given up dairy and fried foods.0
-
Wheat in all it's forms. and refined sugar.0
-
Dairy
Red Meats
Most sugar (but thats hard to get away from)0 -
fast food. this has always been my biggest weakness...if i allow myself to have it just once, i think it will open a door to making more bad choices. So, I haven't had any in 5 weeks! And i don't even miss it!0

I don't eat chips, cookies, or ice cream. Chips were the hardest to give up. But I'd sit down with a bag of them and eat the whole thing .. so they're one of my weakness foods and that's the only reason I cut them out completely.
No more fast food, because it's another weakness. I friggin' love McDonalds.
Everything else, I wouldn't mind having once in awhile.
Soda, I drink once a week .. when I used to be drinking at least 2-3 a day.0 -
I didn't give up anything so far. I believe in evreything in moderation. I don't want to deprive myself and then end up gaining the weight back in the end.
this.0 -
Not because of MFP, but:
Mayo
Most dairy, I still eat yogurt
Meat, except fish
Alcohol
Most processed foods (all junk food)
All fast food0 -
For medical reasons I have given up meat, eggs and dairy (all make me quite naseous/dizzy and set off my IBS) and gluten because of Celiac disease.
So that also means I gave up donuts, cookies, anything breaded, pizza....the list goes on.
I also can't have anything overly greasy/oily, so very lmited chips, fast food french fries etc.0 -
I haven't really given up anything. I just measure things more closely. I have found that I have underestimated most of my serving sizes in the past. What I thought was one serving turned out to be 2 or more. So now I am trying to stick to the right portion sizes. I also always ask myself "Is it really worth the calories?" If not I dont eat it. There are times when I do crave some "junk". I have found that those times a small portion of the junk food is worth the calories because if I don't eat something I am really craving I tend to overeat other things trying to satisfy the craving. Good luck to you in obtaining your goals.0
