I forgot that today was the start of it.... I may give up pistachios.... because they are too high in calories, but I absolutely love them.... I say that as I have about 30 empty shells in front of me. Might add pecans and walnuts too!

    I enjoy nuts. They help me to reach my calorie goal without having to eat a lot of food. :bigsmile:

    :smile: Hi, reading your notice made me think I should give up bread for Lent. I am addicted to crusty bread I know I could lose some baggage if I gave up the bread. Just think if you gave up your pistachios, you will have to add an excercise, as by eating the nuts you have to go to the bin to empty the shells lol. Your doing really well thirteen pounds lost. Keep going.

    Funny. My one daughter said she would give up her iTouch. She watches a lot of Netflix there. But she is only 10, and I told her I thought that was too much, mostly because she just got it for Christmas.... Though, LOL, she could always watch netflix on TV, I guess.

    30 Pistachios are a serving. 160 calories. You don't have to give them up, just buy snack bags and pre portion out your servings. That's what I do :)

    I'm not Catholic...but I'm going to try to give up my negative thoughts. They lead to self-doubt and depression and that derails me in a lot of ways, not just my fat loss efforts...

    I am giving up my diet pop, fast food, sweets and chips. I am not going to have any of it on Sunday's (cheat days) I am going to stay strong and I know this up should clean my body of the fats and I will feel so much better at the end. Plus maybe giving this up I wont crave it so much when it is all over.
