A recent study from Fitness magazine surveyed 2,400 women ages 18 and older to find out how far women will go in order to lose weight. The results? Shocking.

While it is healthy to make certain small sacrifices to accomplish your weight loss goals (like forgoing fried foods and cake), giving up healthy lifestyle habits like sex and regular meals is certainly unhealthy. The statistics from the Fitness survey were eye-opening and surprising to say the least. Some facts that stuck out at us were:

51 percent of women say they would skip sex for a year.
Only 7 percent of women say they never allow themselves to eat junk food
Nearly 40 percent of women went on their first diet when they were in middle school or high school

How far would you go to lose weight? Find out if our readers would give up sex, or other things, in order to reach their weight loss goals.

Wow! Their sex lives must suck... I'd give up housework lol.

Well those women must not love their partners or must not love themselves; sex is a wonderful thing for you and your partner, for a relationship.

Fit V.
That's crazy. Just crazy.
