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!!!!!!!!

If you are still around, PLEASE reset me as day 1 for January 2nd, I am 117 pounds and really want to get back to 110 pounds! Hope all is going well, good luck everyone on here, lets try our hardest to shift this christmas fat! H xxx

Dee can I join ? I've been clean since 1/1/08. Hope all is well with you. Doc told me I had to change my diet back to what it was or I was putting me and the baby at risk of  gestational diabetes. he told me do the cals I was eating before plus 500 and the nutritionist said only up it by 300  any who I couldn't think of a better forum then this to get me and keep me back on track! he sait more meats and veggies and cut carbs. I know however the body needs carbs to make energy, so I am open to suggestions and if anyone can tell me how to decipher good carbs and bad carbs or better then other carbs I will be greatful. thanks.

Hey.

 Add me to the list please! 

my first mini-mini-goal will be to stay clean for a week.

(starting today)

Hi Dee, thanks for putting me on hiatus - I'd like a re-start for today (it's Friday) and I will try to remember that my body is my temple.  Nancy

hey, i'm still clean :)

Dee, where are you? Hope you came back soon.

Dee....I think we are all getting worried....where u gone? Hope you havnt lost so much weight that you have dissappeared! I am still going strong....yes, good willpower and I am into day 4 now, 116 lbs. Im feeling good, just need to keep it going.....need your inspiration, so hurry up and get back here for us all!!!!!!!! Speak soon, H xxx

Dee.........where are you????????? I need your inspiration.......PLEASE!!!!!!!! I was doing so well and then 2 nights now I have had these average size binges, its just NO good! Lucky you didnt re start me after all! Okay.... January 7th here we come, lets start again, make that my day 1! Just write on here Dee to let me know you are ok, love H xxx

Hiya, hope everyone's okay out there...!  Dee, when you can please put me as today, Monday, for my re-start.  I'm getting back down to the business of clean eating.  I called my girlfriend and told her if I eat right this week, what say we eat Chinese for lunch on Friday and she said Yeah!  So, I've got her counting on me to eat cleanly this week.  Otherwise, neither of us would get a chance to eat at what is probably horrendous local Chinese food (we're in Italy) because our partners flatly refuse.  Nancy

Checking in and still clean.

Dee .... Are you out there? hope all is well come back soon we miss you!

I would love to join - this could be exactly what I need to keep me from bing eating at night!  :)

YES.... you guessed it..... please reset me and today IS DAY 1 - January 8th! If I dont start today then I give up! I will let you know if I suceed! please hurry up and come back .... we all need you!!!!!!!!!! love H xxx
