    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!

    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?

    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

    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.

    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.
