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!!!!!!!!

Day 6!!! It has been a long time! The wierd thing is...after days 3-4 my cravings or almost need for sweets has slowly started to go away!! I find that I crave things my body really needs---no quick fix but it feels SO good to know that I was able to turn to other things instead of food this past week---I CAN do this!

Hey all. Sorry to say, I must give up second place. DH made cookies and I did not resist them. Please restart me for today, Oct. 3. Thank you.

clean! and gosh darn it, it hasn't been easy. why do bagels smell so good?

omg i totally forgot i joined. this!
start me up again for tomorrow!

List updated as of today. Please, those of you who checked in a day late, please try to be on time (check in by end of the day Mondays). I did notice a few of you just past Monday, so I kept you in there. Thanks!!

lrn_298, ms_westy, loseitx, katergater  - 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 !

mrsrood- sorry you gained the second week. I'm sure you'll start to lose again, cuz you're eating good. Good luck with your mri.

psalm- it's ok girl! I understand totally!  You went a long long time! Since Aug 20, who can say that? I mean really! You did great! & I'm sure you'll repeat that again!

Dee

I so need this. I am in! Start me on the 4th! Thanks

oh shoot. i just saw myself on 3rd place. and i just ate a whole buncha bread and spaggetti, a WHOLE bunch. and now i feel poopy and bloated and ew.... RESTART.

I'm completely failing this challenge.  Yesterday: pure unadulterated emotional eating.  SHOVING Ritter Sport Chocolate into my face.  Barely tasting it.  It was a balm to my nerves, an opiate to this particular mass of cells.  If there were a way to directly inject pure cocoa into a good strong vein, and cut out the sugar and fat, might that carve out some calories?  I'll have to ask my GP.  Nancy

Still clean!  (Thanks for taking care of this thread deejlb - it is really helpful!)

tired of getting farther & farther away from my goal when at one point I only had 12 lbs to go! Gotta get serious tomorrow morning!

Restart for me on the 6th!

nancy- omg! if your gp says it's possible, let me know! I'm all for htat! I love the feelign after a lot of chocolate but hate the crash after some time has passed.

Still Clean. This is so great. I am eating better than I have since I started. Thanks.

Dee need a restart for today please.
