    Fast food, well and my total lack of discipline were the primary causes of my weight gain. I try to avoid it, maybe once per month now.

    Define fast food. Does stuff like chipotle count? If so ummmm

    I dunno. 4-8 times a week maybe? kind of varies depending on how we feel that week, how lazy/busy we are, etc.

    well, I sort of have lived on junk food,and beer and wine. January 3rd I started MFP. since then I have become aquainted with vegetables ,fruit and water...my, do I feel better. I haven't had a TUMS in2 weeks. I watch my calories,and if I really want something I will choose my favorite and squeeze it in. I did get a breakfast burrito from McDonalds 2 weeks ago,and when I got to work and looked it up for my daily food, I found it had 300 cal. The 25min. on the treadmill to get rid of the calories made it a never again food!. Good luck, people who have never or rarely eaten 'junk' food,have a hard time understanding the draw....I don't! good luck

    I quit cold turkey and haven't had any. Everyone has slip ups but, in general I try to eat as natural as possible and not to eat out often.

    Edit to say before I ran into MFP I lost weight doing just what you are. I sometimes would not eat until later in the day and would need to make up the calories so what better way than fast food. I still lost weight but, the food itself is not good and have a lot of mystery ingredients.

    I love my Subway! Eat it everyday for lunch and always after I workout at Curves. I always get a 6 inch of their healthier subs on wheat.

    I haven't given up fast food completely, but in order to get it, I make myself go in. NO DRIVE THRU. If I make a little more difficult to get, I usually just go home and make something. I would have to say I make the effort to go in and get about once or twice a month. Not too bad, all things considered.

    I agree, Everything in moderation. It is a personal matter. There is no right or wrong.

    I'm for Team Moderation! :)

    It's a personal choice for many people. Some people are dead set against it, others are cool with it in moderation. I have cut fast food out pretty significantly as well as soda for if/when we eat out. I usually ask for water or unsweetened tea.

    I used to treat my son to McDonald's once every two weeks but now he's into Subway. Which makes it SO much easier for me to resist french fries! (My weakness)

    Moderation is key! I feel if a person doesn't give in now and again, it's easier to go on a crazy binge of nonstop eating.

    Once, maybe twice a week, and it's usually
    Subway. I get the 5 dollar footlong, eat half
    for dinner, then have lunch for the next day.
    No more Italian BMTs sucks, but hey it works
    out when we're really busy.

    Normally I cook dinner, and have plenty of
    leftovers for lunches.

    Maybe once a month. Mainly because I like to cook & when I cook I know how to make it just how I like it.

    I go to KFC once a year. It has been on the 2nd of Jan for the last 4 years but I haven't made my annual trip yet. I just go to see if they've improved since last year :tongue:

    once each week, and I allow myself a treat.
    Today was that day for breakfast - McDonalds!

    I had the Big Breakfast with hotcakes and 2 extra orders of hash-browns.

    LOVE IT!
