    I'm in!

    I need to give up smoking (I know, not technically food/drink but could do with the motivation!) as I want to take up running. And I need to quit the savoury snacking (potato chips mainly!) And gummy sweets! I eat Haribo like it's going out of fashion :(

    The main things I want to cut out are diet soda and crisps, I eat maybe one or two packets a week but i'd prefer if I ate none while trying to lose weight!

    Sign me up! I need to stop with the wine - it is adding too many calories and is just a bad habit at this point.

    I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with a popcorn addiction! I'm not giving it up though. I have a 100 calorie bag every night and that is my daily treat.

    I have been putting International Delight French Vanilla in my coffee for at least 11 years now, knowing how horrible it is for me but I just can't bring myself to stop!!!! And I know I need to. I have other vices, sweets, anything sweet but I'm already working on replacing that with celery. I really need help with my creamer....my name is Juniper and I'm addicted to coffee creamer :laugh:

    My bad foods are Soda mostly and junk foods in general is the second but nothing really specific. I really need to kick my soda habit and try to replace sweet junk foods with healthier alternatives.

    So, I have two problem food/drinks that I simply cannot seem to give up.....

    1.

    Now, I understand a bit of popcorn and a energy drink now and again isn't a big deal. But, I have at least one energy drink a day (sometimes two), and a *huge* amount of popcorn almost every single night.

    I'd love to start a group challenge so that I have to be accountable to others to stop these habits.

    If you are wanting to stop an addiction that is getting in the way of your goals, join me! List your addiction, and I'll come up with a start date and add the group.


    Ugh, I used to be addicted to lo cal monsters too. :grumble: I would drink one or two everyday. I feel soooooo much better now that I've quit drinking them. hmmmm my addiction food/drink I want to stop would be chocolate I LOVE chocolate! :devil: and I want to quit drinking diet soda

    I'd like to join this challenge. My addiction is potato chips. Although I haven't had any recently, there is a new bag staring me in the face right now! I'd kick them out of the house but my husband (thin guy who can eat whatever w/o gaining!) can't live without them. Once I start it's hard to stop - on a good day I can contain myself to one serving per day every day until they are gone. But I need to watch my blood pressure & cholesterol levels, so they are really bad for me :( and so I'd like to just eliminate them completely - they're nutritionally useless to me & I don't want to be controlled by anything so useless. :)

    Ok, I started the group and sent invites to you ladies...HOPE YOU GET THEM!! We'll start this Wednesday, June 13. Good luck..:)

    Can I still join? I'm trying to give up on energy drinks - so addictive :/ Am sitting drinking a Relentless Libertus now and have got to a stage where I have some form of energy drink every day even though I know they're bad for me.

    Is too late to join?

    I don't have a fizzy drink addiction anymore lol, but I'm recovering from bulimia and I want to stop binging, I think this could help lol.
