Clean Eating Challenge

Ok, there seems to be a mysterious condition going around that is causing sabotage to our eating. I know I'm not alone here when I admit that my eating this past little while leaves a lot to be desired, causing slight weight gain after such hard work to lose it.

I also know, that I am the same person who was practically flawless in my eating for like almost 90 days straight, so I know I can get ahold of this - who's with me?? 

There is no deadline for sign-ups, anyone can join at any time!!

All you have to do is check in once a week (at least) & let us know how you're doing. If/when you "cheat", simply let us know & I will restart your start date.

A cheat is defined as whatever a cheat would mean to you personally, whether it be going over your calories, bingeing, not eating enough, too many treats, etc. We all know when we've cheated, so just be honest with yourself

Let's be honest with each other & keep each other eating clean k? The PRIZE to the winner? Well that's easy - weight loss!!!!!!!!! (or maintenance for those at that stage!) Let's do this!

********************************************* ***

Here's the list of all signed up & the new rules:
(let me know if I missed you)

If you lose your mind & cheat, just let me know. Then you can re-start from the next day. I'll simply unbold your name, along with updating your new start date.

After being clean for a week after a re-start, I'll re-bold your name. So you always have a chance to feel like you are succeeding. 

Also, if you just don't feel like you want to partake in the challenge anymore, can you let me know so I can remove your name from the list? Thanks!!

Anyone not checking in for one week (December 25 - December 31) will be removed from the challenge.

Good luck all! People's names in bold have been going the longest or have not restarted for at least a week - way to go!!!!!!!!

I lost my stubborn 10 lbs and not eating totally clean...but mostly clean which is more realistic for maintaining I think. I just started running 2x a wk...total of ~8mi per wk in addition to my regular workouts...made a huge difference.

can you please remove me from this challenge!  thanks guys!  :)

mmmm sodium <3. I quit caring about it :) Because I LOVE flavor!

Woo hoo for being back. Missed you guys. And you can bold me all you want. I like standing out ;)

@};- roses for everyone!

whoo! i love that boldness of my name :)

hahaa still clean! my goal is to oct. 1!

Aw dang-it gang, I blew it tonite! Do you ever have one of those boring few hours & it seems you just can't get enough inyour mouth? ahhhhhh! I did that. & I turned to my skinny cow ice creams & over did it! Boredom is always what gets me.

now I'm starting the week away on a bad note, so I really really have to buck up, get my head on & do really well till we get home.

I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS. I hope if I get tempted, I think of you all & know that you'd all be sayign "don't do it Dee".

I'm restarting for tomorrow.

(oh we're leaving at 4am instead now, so I'll get a somewaht normnal night tonite - just shorter).

I'd like in . . . don't know why I keep eating . . every morning I wake up do my run and say today is the day I get back on track!  Well tomorrow I will be on track knowing I have others with me!!!!

Great IDEA!!!  THANKS!

Yay I am still going Strong!

still clean with the eating. I did not think i would last more than a few days but the challenge is helping. :)

i know i have not check in in a while but i have been so busy and my baby was so sick that we are just now geting but on track from that but i would like to get back in the game can you restart me today please. thank you lisa

Still doing great.
Keep it up everyone.

okay def had a binge fest this week so i would like to start this.
i always see this post, but i never thought i would actually join it. but i think it would really help me and motivate me not to binge, especially now where i am being tempted. NO! lol but yeah this is a great oppertunity to stay on track.

Hi Dee, hi gang! Quickie message from a library computer... I am not eating cleanly.  I-m not eating excessive calories but I thought I'd fess up.  I am out of commission until Sept. 12 as I last posted but now I REALLY hope to get back home sooner or I will turn into a BBQ potato chip or Peppermint white chocolate brittle.  Things aren-t lookin' so good, clean-wise.  Not feeling too cool, Nancy

Still clean Though today was a tough one for me!! while I was at the gym feeling sorry for me not running as well as I thought I was(even though it was more then I did my whole life) my two teenage boys were at the ranch trying to kill each other. My younger two teenagers were babysitting and calling me franticlly.

I was so PI**ed off! All I wanted to do was scream at them the how could you guys do this speach don't you know some one could have been hurt? ( I think that was there point ) lol And I didn't I stayed calm and talked to everyone to figure out what happened and I was shaking the rest of the night. still am now but not as much. But boy oh boy did I ever want to eat like nobodies business!! All I could think about was the cookies that I bought for the little ones to bake, or making brownies or anything knowing Darn well I would have eaten what ever the kids didn't.

BUT I DIDN"T BINGE !!! YEAHHH!!! I cooked dinner did the laundry played with the babies and told everyone else not to come out of there rooms till I figured out their consequences. I stayed clean and now its bed time!! I didn't do my second workout either but I didn't do my emotional eating, and I do feel like I accomplishe dsomething today. Things will look better in the morning especially when I don't have the guilt on my head for once of screwing up royally!!

Still doing good, but I can't figure out why I'm not losing then. Hmmm

Hey hope everyone is doing better than me, sorry I missed checking in on monday, I have been pretty out of it for the last 4 or 5 days I hurt my back and the meds I have to take for it put me on a different planet LOL but I'm back on earth now (at least for the most part ;) lol) if I could have a restart I think it is called for cause I honestly don't even remember what I ate, it was what ever my mom brought and alot of stuff that I don't normally eat (micro dinners and such) so anyway hopefully I can get through this move without any more problems. I can't wait till it's over.

Still clean, feeling a little stressed about tomorrow. Going to planned parenthood and not sure what they're going to make me pay and then I get to go pay this quarter's tuition at the college. Money always makes me really stressed out. I hate spending it because I always spend my monthly earnings in far less than a month. Tuition, books, loaning my mother money that she swears she'll pay back. >.<

Ah well, I'm eating clean, exercising, got someone who loves me, and I'm getting an education. Those are the good things in my life that I need to focus on so I don't get stressed and eat.


And congratulations mabear on not binging!

I'm clean. Like teeth in the Orbit commercial.

LoL. I dunno where that came from, but it made me laugh.

buhri113 what are you going to PPH for? 

17star - I went to Planned Parenthood for birth control. Which I purchased today, my bank account does not like the loss of any of that money.

I've been eating clean today, got some almonds to help with any nighttime cravings. I figured I'll eat it before or after dinner to give it some time.

ohhhhh booger.

I need a restart. yesterday and today were BADDDDD.

BUT its ok because now I'm back on track. Thanks deejlb!

I'd like to join this challenge if its not too late! I'm trying to stay awayyyyyyyyyyy from my biggest nemisis- Ice Cream. And this being summer and all- I'm finding it verrrry difficult. So I guess my start date will be today, Aug 9th (even though its nighttime where I'm at, I ate 100% clean today).
