    Nothing. I've just cut back on some things, like red meat (only eat it once a week).

    nothing. I gave up mcdonalds long before I was trying to actively lose weight. Eating things in moderation is the key, I think. I tried giving certain things up when I was unhealthy, and all it did was make me binge on them. So no, I haven't given anything up.

    I have given up whole doughnuts, though I will eat ONE of those munchkin things from DD every once in a while. I also can't remember the last time I had a sugary soda. I think mostly I've just started eating really well--I haven't really focused on what I can't eat.

    Which food(s) have you given up completely that you just love or used to love?

    For me:
    French fries
    Milk Chocolate
    Breaded Chicken

    None, and I don't plan to ever give anything up completely unless I am diagnosed with an intolerance, sensitivity, or allergy to it. I limit them since a big bowl of veggies with a nice amount of fish is much more satisfying long term in a day than a large fry (to give an example) but I still enjoy fries now and then.

    I don't think I've stopped anything 100% but the closest for me would be coffee. I used to drink so much coffee in the morning that I wouldn't eat until oh... mid-afternoon. Plus of course I couldn't sleep well and was a raging beyotch all of the time. Now I have 1 cup of decaf at the church cafe on Sunday's and drink a mug of tea in the morning to get my hot beverage fix.

    Pasta and rice. But I kind of feel like that's cheating because I almost never ate rice and I rarely ate pasta. So it was easy. I gave up McDonalds, except in extreme travel-related situations. I think I've had it once since January...? Regular soda, which I was addicted to. I've had maybe 2-3 times since then. Peanut butter and peanuts (which I love.) All beans (legumes) which I love. Milk. Donuts.

    Nothing I have given up completely. But I went from eating pizza 3 times a week to only 5 times in the last 6 months. And sugar. I would have something sugary every day sometimes several times a day, now I eat it just occasionally.

    I gave up chips, pizza, soda (other than an odd diet one) and a bunch of greasy foods. I never thought I could live without them, and now I am wondering why I ever enjoyed them :')

    My very favorite meal at Waffle House. Two eggs over medium, hash browns scattered, covered, peppered and topped, and a waffle with peanut butter and chocolate chips. And a patty melt if I'm starving. It just takes too much to burn off all those calories with exercise. I'm thinking I may need to go on another all-day hike so I can earn it.

    I haven't given up anything completely. The closest I've came is milkshakes, because it's just not practical to ingest in moderation. Even a small is usually like 700 calories! It sucks too because I absolutely love milkshakes. Maybe I'll treat myself today, I haven't had one in months.

    Tea, coffee and fizzy drinks, basically given up caffeine. Refuse to say I have given up everything else as I will then crave it.
