Hi all, my name is Ellie and I work in a fast food restaurant.

I have lost 15kg's but a lot of the time I give into cravings and eat the fast food/
Anyone care to join me in a month of giving up fast food?

(:

    No fast food February sounds good to me, I have to walk past loads of fast food on campus and it's hard work!

    I will attempt this challenge! I can pack a healthier lunch and not be so high in sodium when we have to be out of town. :D
    Great challenge!

    a great challenge for you
    I would join you but it would be cheating as I gave up fast food a couple of years ago :)

    good luck to you and all who join you

    I will join in on this one, I gave into a craving of Chip Shop Chicken and Chips the other day, felt good to have it as a one off:-)

    But think it will be a good thing to just for one month not have anything like that. I live by Campus so there are fast foods everywhere so know how hard it can be, but if you keep it up eventually it wont bother you:-)

    Great idea, We can all do this:-)

    Go guys!! You can do it! I haven't had 'fast food' (McDonald's, KFC, Oporto, hungry jacks etc) since April 2011. Reckon I've saved myself several thousand calories and probably several hundreds of $$$!

    If you question for a min about whether to do this or not.. think about it this way.. is that 1 chicken sandwich from BK worth you walking another hour at the gym?? I'm in!!!

    I'll join! I vowed to give up soda til Easter and to lose 12lbs in February. So this one will only help me succeed in the others and vice versa ^^

    Related: I once saw a quote that said "If your food doesn't rot, it isn't food." I then cleaned out my car and found an old french fry that looked exactly as it probably had when I bought them...
