So we want to know: What did you give up that really kickstarted your progress?
Maybe giving up alcohol made a huge difference for you.

(OK, probably not that big of a difference, but y'know.)
Or maybe you ditched Netflix because it always sucked you in when you were supposed to go to the gym.

Maybe you decided to cut out dessert for a week just to see how it would go.
Or maybe you gave up your weekly weigh-ins because the scale was putting you on edge.
