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!!!!!!!!

still clean :)

alright well im checking in!!

school start about 1 1/2 weeks ago and everyone is saying "how skinny i look" or how much weight i lost over the summer.

it was just 10lbs but my clothes fit way different, so maybe i lost inches. either way im really happy!

i hear it from a different person every day too!

Checking in; eating well and feeling better!

Checking in...surprisingly still clean! Yesterday my friend bought a huge bag of my fav candy...I even held it for awhile but controlled myself. I didn't even eat a whole serving, only a bit! I'm very pleased :) Usually I'd eat the entire bag...lol.

all is well here, still eating clean!

impedimenta- welcome!!! I've added you. All you need to do is report in here at least once a week. Let me know if you need a restart on your date & if you ever want to no longer participate let me know too so I can remove you. Good luck !

skinnyjordan- awww, that's so great that people are noticing your hard work, good for you!!

jesskah- way to go girl! I'm like that too, eat the whole darn bag, so saying no & just having a little bit is a huge victory! keep it up!

This is a group I DEFINITELY need to be a part of.  Today has been a clean day for me - the first in a long time!  Thanks for being there for accountability (and support!)

Still eating clean!!Day4  & checking in for the week

Still holding on Day 5 just couldn't remember if I checked in or not but I guess I did lol

count me in!! as of today: Sept 9th!! this is awesome!!!!

for me, cheating means MINDLESS EATING. eating when i'm not hungry, when i'm bored, and of course, the processed foods (having more than "a taste").

Checking in to say I'm still doing okay. I'm eating LOTS of veggies at lunch and dinner. And today we celebrated my mum's birthday. I saved up calories for some of the yummy cake my brother baked for her! Mmm.

Keep it up everyone! You can do it

my eating has been going great. its only been a week so it not time to celebrate yet. im just trying to stay strong and positive. i weigh tomorrow...im exicted. good luck all!

ohh i need tips for eating less carbs more protien. thanks!

checking in....still going strong!

Still clean! I just broke my plateau too! :/  )

 Keep going everyone! We can totally do this!

So I did pretty good yesterday on the road. I do allow myself one cheat item once a week on weigh in days (there's no better day than that, you have all week to get rid of it!). But I did have an extra treat, so I'm gonna restart for today.

Even though I'm gonna restart, I'm still going strong & not gonna falter.

Yay!! for everyone..

Thanks to clean eating ( i.e. 1200 to a max of 1400 calories for me) I have actually reached an even 130 lbs as of this  morning! This is my current lowest point (I keep yo-yoing to 135) and I am hoping to go even lower because of continuing a clean diet!!

My newest discoveries : strawberries (around 50 calories for 10 - 15) and plum tomatoes (@ 50 calories a cup) Oh such refreshing and yummy and light snacks..!!

Deejlb- too bad @ extra treat :D..Hope to see you back soon..!

checked my weight today.. i've lost  almost 3 lbs.. YIPPIE!!

Woohooo, I'm still going strong. *happy dance* Clean eating is good. :D

checking in :) i'm still good to go.

impedimenta I soo love just popping grape tomatoes. a much fuller flaver and about the same calories per cup. I do however use plum tomatoes on sandwiches!! Yummy!
