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!!!!!!!!

Dee, can you put me on "pause"... I have an emergency and may be away from the computer for a couple of weeks.  I imagine I'll be clean for the most part but will report back in as soon as I can.  Everyone, take care.  Nancy

Hi,

Can I join? I've been having a pretty rough time of it of late.

Name: Emmylou

Start Date: 17th December 07

Weight: 151lbs

Alright, I'm doing finals all day tomorrow, then I'll be without a computer until January 30th or so... so I am going to need to ask for a hiatus until then

I'll be good as best as I possibly can.  Good luck to everyone around the holidays!

Hi Dee....... please forgive me for being so unreliable and not getting on here enough! Its been a real, REAL bad eating time for me, I have been truly worse than ever, I have gained so much weight, I have over eaten ridiculous amounts! I must get back into this, it worked for me before and it WILL work again! I will let you know when I am ready to restart, I am enjoying Christmas for a while and then back to serious clean healthy eating.... I cant stand this weight gain, its really knocking my confidence! I plan to restart tomorrow, see how it goes and I will give you a definate date as my day 1 asap! Hope you enjoyed Christmas and indulged atleast a little! Take care and speak soon! H xxx

woooo im still going, 2nd place!

Still fine. I'm home with my parents and, for whatever reason, I really lose interest in food while home. It's strange.

Yes! Im feeling positive, cravings are dissapearing! PLEASE put me down as day 1 today Dee, Im going to give it my everything! Speak soon, H xxx

Is it way too late to join??

i got my wisdom teeth pulled...im not sure how to go about counting the next few days...i will be lacking a lot of nutrients but i definitely wont be overeating....

ah well, i need to be restarted for dec 27 anyhow

Hi everyone and Happy New Year!

Wish you a great start and very successful year.

I haven't written here for a while (4 moths i think) and the result is that i gained about 20 pounds :(

I would like to start again and will be glad if you add me to your list. I'm starting from now because i know that tommorow never comes.
