    I stayed away from fast food for the week, but still managed to have pizza and a veggie burger at sit down restaurants so I don't think it was a total victory ;)

    Hey all! I hope everyone had a great week. I did well most of the week. No fast food, except I did have 2 slices of plain pizza for dinner on Friday night. Other than that, I did pretty well. Exercised every day, even though I wasn't feeling that good (annoying cold, both me and my daughter suffering from it!)
    It's the weekends that are tough for me. I was under my calorie goals all week, except Fri. late night, I went over. I was helping my best friend stuff invitations for her wedding and she made all these yummy dips and wine! Fortunately I stayed away from the wine (which is a MAJOR victory for me b/c I LOVE my wine!) But I did have a couple scoops of the different dips she was offering. Sat. was also tough, and I forgot to log in. But I will log in today and try to stick to it.
    Here's my weight updates:

    SW: 167
    CW (as of Fri. morning, before my weekend slip-ups!): 164.5
    GW for Jan: 159
    Ultimate goal weight 140 by summer!!

    Maybe for this week's challenge, it could be something about working out? Like trying to get in exercise 5 days next week? Just a suggestion, I'm open for any and all challenges!

    Thanks so much for ALL the support everyone! Whenever I feel like giving up or not logging in, I"ll check my email and have "1 new message from myfitnesspal" and it gets me right back on track!!

    Have a great week!

    I haven't had any fast food all week. I went grocery shopping on Friday and have went over my calories. I need to get back to working out and keeping track of what I eat. I weighed in today and I've lost 6 pounds, so I'm happy about that.

    another day no fast food...did have starbucks skinny lattes the last two days on my way to the evening shift at work but counted the calories and fit well within my budget. Did manage to avoid the other junk that tends to make it's way to work on the weekends. AND today was day 14 in a row with at least 30 min of exercise...now if the scale would just move a little more quickly! :)

    Keep up the great work everyone!

    No fast food. So far so good. I was really proud of myself yesterday. My mother ordered a veggie pizza, but I didn't have one slice. I just wish I could stop all of this snacking I'm doing. One day at a time. So far I haven't had any fast food since the challenge started.

    Day 6 for me. Had to take my son to ortho apt. I decided to jog up and down the stairs. There are 4 floors, I made it up and down 2 whole times but couldnt catch my breath after so went up and down a single flight 2 more times. Decided I could breathe better outside in the freezing cold(nope) but power walked for 20 minutes. Then had to take boys to Burger King for take out dinner. I got the apple fries, no caramel sauce and drove home. I'm making a sandwich right now to eat. I am so determined to do this.

    My rule is--if there is no drive-in physically attached to the restaurant, it isn't fastfood--so you are okay in my book. The only exception is Pizza Hut. If it isn't fast food, it should be considered.

    I still haven't had any fast food! I'm SO glad I joined this challenge because now I don't even let myself consider having fast food whenever I'm out!

    I have had no fast food at all! My husband and I did go out for our anniversary, we went to Applebee's. We don't get out that often never mind without the kids, so we indulged a little. No appetizers, a meal and a mudslide each. The mudslide made me go over my calories by 300. I just had our 2nd child 3 weeks ago and obviously haven't had a drink in a while, so it was worth every calorie to me!! Other than that I've been eating better than I have in years! =]
