This is incredible, it's been two weeks since we ate restaurant (for us it's usually ordering in or picking up something from the restaurant since we have two young ones).

I'm very proud of this, today we are starting our third week!!! Reading previous treads on the subject I realized it was an issue for many other families and I decided it was time for our family to do something about it. I made it my goal to end eating restaurant food unless for special occasions. It worked so far, I hope we can keep this up.

Any of you did the same thing or are thinking about it?

We are doing very well too!!! Plus I have not stopped for fast food on my own for quite a while, which is huge!!! I love fast food!

I rarely take out or eat out anymore at all. This started when I wanted to lose weight and I could control much more by cooking myself. I'm proud to say that doing this for 10 months has helped me lose 54lbs! I probably have taken out only 4 times in 10 months and that has been from Swiss Challet. I've had 2 meals out in that time. I can't imagine how much money I've saved by eating at home.

Good for you!!!

Just last night we said we were going to go 1 month without eating out. I'm not so sure how it will go. We'll see.

Good luck to you and keep me informed on your challenge, maybe we can exchange ideas.

Good for you. We're aiming for about once a week but with the baby coming that might be cut back even more. We'll see how it works out. This use to be a MAJOR issue for us especially when it was just my husband and myself and we lived in a bigger city - little towns don't have as many good places to eat at.

That is really good!Good Job!I know it would be tough for me.

Great job!!

That is fantastic! :yay!: I think the longest we've gone without fast food, eating out or ordering pizza is about a week. We're working on it though...
