    WEEKLY PIZZA.

    I love pizza and have been eating it about once a week lately. I always go all out and do 3-4 slices plus ranch which is my whole day's worth of calories. I'm good about planning it in but it means shorting myself before and/or after which sort of feels like I'm making up for it the rest of the week. I think I'll institute a single pizza day each month. That way I can still look forward to it without regretting it for the rest of the month. :)

    I just deleted a bunch of freeloading, half-arsed friends from my life.
    That should count for something, yeah?

    I think that's call dead weight loss.

    I've done that several times. It's very refreshing. :)

    Me too, but why do I feel so guilty about doing it?

    OP - giving up my dislike for strength training. Not giving up anything else I need my foods!!

    I'm giving up control! I'm giving up the comfort I find in controlling what I eat as it ends up controlling my happiness. I'm giving up restricting myself to an unrelenting focus on health as it lessens my well being. In return- I expect to gain a sense of security from not fearing food or losing control. I'm going to turn into the spin to stop it!

    Giving up the occasional soft drinks I drank in the previous years, trying for 100% water and fruit juices in 2017

    I'm giving up on maintenance to lose the last several pounds.

    Also, giving up on excuses that prevent me from achieving my fitness goals of jogging far, kicking higher, punching harder and lifting heavier.

    No way in hell I'll be giving up my treats like chocolate, cheese puffs, etc. My aim is to NOT be miserable next year. ;)

    Am with you
    I need to finish what I started

    Alcohol at home. I'm going to allow myself the occasional night out of course, but no longer going to drink it just because it's there.

    Only one thing I'm giving up in 2017; failure.

    Just about says it all.

    I prefer to add things when I'm looking to make a change, rather than cut things out. Mine are:
    1. Add a legit strength training routine to my workouts
    2. Meal plan and cook at least 2 family dinners a week
    3. Get > 6 hours sleep every night

    Sometime in the 90s, I made a resolution to give up giving up things for New Year. It's the only one I've stuck to ;-)
