Good job Kat for staying under yesterday! This past weekend, I did not do so well. I went WAY over my calorie limit on Friday-Sunday. It was just one of those weekends. Bleh...but I started back on track yesterday and today!0

Meh, sometimes those weekends happen. The great thing is you jumped right back on the wagon yesterday. Keep it up!0 -
Thanks Kat!
It's almost Friday! Just 2 more days left of March! I hope no one at work brings donuts!!! I dunno if I can resist!! lol0 -
Well I completely fell off the wagon after going out of town last Friday. Are we going to do this again in April?
You all are doing great Kat and Meeaham!! Keep up the good work!:flowerforyou:0 -

I'll go again for April. This has made me think twice before pulling up to the drive thru.0 -

I'm down for April as well! Having this tread has helped me a lot when I go out to eat. Like today, my husband and I went to Dos Coyotes (Mexican restaurant). I was tempted to get my usual steak burrito but I decided to get a shrimp salad instead!0 -
Ok, ladies I will do another thread for April!! Thanks, I will do better this month!0

I didn't do so well this weekend. =( I didn't exercise and ate over my calorie by A LOT! Went to a buffet with some friends on Saturday and had a housewarming party today. Oh well, I'm just going to move on and start a new day tomorrow!
How was everyone's weekend?0 -
My weekend was not the best either but not too bad. I am ready to have a much better April than March. Today is a new day!
Have a good week everyone!!0 -
Hi Everyone!:happy:
Got a question... so if I've gone 2 days with no fast food I should have a 0 next to my name, correct? I wasn't sure which way it worked. Just double checking.
I love this group, so glad I ran across it yesterday and joined. It's such a good idea, as when I get paid somehow I run around doing so many errands, don't have proper food with me and end up stopping someplace because my blood sugar is so low I can't think straight. Thus the places never being healthy that I choose in a pinch.
Definitely a good daily reminder for me to plan ahead so that doesn't happen to me!.:drinker:0 -
Welcome Hearts Desire! if you have had no fast foods for 2 days then the number by your name should be 2.Hi Everyone!:happy:

For each day you eat no fast food you numbers go up. The goal is to try to do as many days as you can with no fast foods. The challenge is to get 25 days for the month of April!! Good luck!:flowerforyou: 0 -
Hello everyone! I'm new to the site and this board. Fast food is a big issue for me. Especially in the morning. Today I stopped and wanted to try Burger King's new menu items. I got a Medium Caramel Frappe and a Medium Hashbrown. Well the Frappe isn't that good. Very sweet and when I found that it was 500 calories, it really turned me off. I've drank about a quarter of it and probably won't have any more. I did eat the hasbrowns though. I never realized that those two items take up nearly all of my calories. So I'm going to work on eating better for the rest of the day, since there's not much I can do about what I've consumed thus far. Tomorrow is a new day and will be a day without fast food. 0

Welcome Reese and good job on not drinking the rest of Frapee especially if not that good. I personally do not have a problem with drinks with high calories. I refuse to drink something that has more calories than a meal when I could have eaten it vs drinking it. But i know many struggle with liquid calories.
Welcome again! BTW - I still have to look up calories on the Cinabon they have. I did not find it on BK website the other day when looking for it on smartphone. Did not have time to keep searching for it that day but I had the single one only and that was satisfactory. I will look up the damage today. 0 -
OH! Now I understand, thanks for clarifying Mollie:flowerforyou:

Welcome Hearts Desire and Reese! It's always nice to meet new people!
Today was my fast food day. My coworkers and I have been wanting to try the new Doritos Locos Tacos at Taco Bell so we decided to go get it and it was actually pretty good! Now that I had it, I can stop thinking about it and move on! I looked up the nutritional value for it and it's 200 calories per taco. Not too shabby!0 -
I agree 200 calories is not bad at all! Actually Meea Taco Bell has a lot of low calorie options especially if you opt for the salsa sauce they have vs. sour cream etc. I forgot what they call it but You can really stay within calorie range with many of their selections. I have not been there in a while since I like authentic tacos and Chicago has too many better options for Mexican food I ususally go for 2 tacos or fajitas which I can keep healthy. 0

I had my first fast food for the month tonight. We didn't get out of my daughter's volleyball game until 7pm and I forgot to get any meat out to thaw for supper. I grabbed a spicy chicken from Wendy's and took off half the bun. I skipped the fries and instead came home and popped a frozen veggie blend into the microwave to go with it. Spicy chicken plain with half of the bun plus a big bowl of seasoned veggies = a very yummy 550 calories!0

@ Mollie: Yea, I saw their healthier selection. If I ever go there again, I'll probably order from there.
@ Kat: Great job on the choices you made! 550 calories is pretty good!
@ Hearts Desire: You got it!
I have not been doing so well this so far this month...only had one day w/o fast food so far. I did not make good choices but I'm gonna try to change all that this weekend! Tomorrow is a new day!
Have a great weekend everyone!0 -
You too Meea!! You will get back on track and are doing fine! It is so early in the month.
BTW - You can "Fresco" anything from Taco Bell by saying "Fresco". It is salsa substitued for sour cream, etc and is 25% less fat and reduces the calories.
Enjoy your weekend every and me mindful of your choices 0 -
Hello all,
I really fought today not go back out tonight and gets some fried chicken. I won and stayed in. I may get me some next Tuesday or later I weight in Thursday.
Hope you all weekend is going good.0 -

Great job Mollie for fighting back!!! Sometimes it's just easier to go get fast food but you didn't!!!
My weekend went well! Spent the weekend with my family and I didn't eat any fast food! It feels so good! Hope everyone else had a great weekend!0 -
Happy hump day everyone!
So I'm planning to go to Los Angeles for the weekend with one of my girl friends. We're leaving tomorrow and coming back Sunday. This is gonna be a test for me! I might have to do one day with fast food during this trip (we're driving so it's a 6 hour drive each way)! We'll see what happens!0 -

Hope you have a great trip meeaham! I ended up having fast food again last night. We were out of town and planned on getting something decent to eat, but my friend unexpectedly had to get back home asap. We were starving so we stopped at Taco Bell. :ohwell:0 -
Thanks Mollie and Kat!
I just got back from my trip today and it was lots of fun! I got one exercise in during my trip! We hiked the Hollywood Sign and it wasn't too bad! Also, I ended up eating fast food for one day! Ended up eating at McDonalds. Why are their fries so good??!!!
How was everyone's weekend? Tomorrow is a new day! We're halfway in April now! 0 -

You all are the BEST, this Challenge has been so helpful to me. Knowing if I push past the craving I get to add another day to mine is like getting a gold star on my Homework back in the day. Doing it for me but love the mental gold stars that make me realize all this is helping break the impulse habit.
Hope this continues to be a monthly Challenge. I came in on this in April so not sure it was something ongoing or something new this Month.
Cheers to all for committing themselves to this challenge... I'm having fun with it.
Oh and I do apologize for seemingly ignoring this thread, I forget it's out here and only check the other thread. I'll work on coming in here and chatting a bit.
Warm hugs to all :flowerforyou:0 -

I'm glad to have you on here as well! This is my second month doing this challenge and I too hope it will be ongoing! Thanks Mollie for starting this thread!
I'm off to a great start this week! No fast food so far! My husband and I have started cooking more at home now. Home food never tasted so great! Hope everyone has a good week! 0 -
Glad it is helping. I know it helps me be mindful of trying not go the FF route for sure. And if I do stop for fast food to make sure I make a healthy selection. This is my 2nd month doing it. Last month we only had 3 of us so it is so much better this month we have a few more.@ Mollie: Yea, I saw their healthier selection. If I ever go there again, I'll probably order from there.
