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!!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone,

 This sounds like a good challenge for me! Sweets and chocolate are my weakness and with halloween candy around i need to watch myself!

I've lost about 5 to 6 pounds in the last 2 or so months. Scale is finally starting to budge. Although yesterday I was bad. But so far so good today!

grrrr My new start date is October 26

thanks

Red Velvet Cake did me in....startover on the 26th

Need a re-start October 26 for Sabine YVR

ok I defnitiely need a restart, October 27 please

Is it too late to join this challenge? I am trying to stop binging and lose weight at about 1800 cal per day. I think I will still lose eating this much because I have a pretty fast metabolism even when I don't work out. It is just my binging that has made me gain. Hopefully, today will be day one. I have not cheated yet, but it is still early.

Great job everyone else. It looks like a lot of people have been sucessful in following this challenge.

Okay, I don't want to fall off by not posting.  So far, clean.  I'm dog sitting for a friend these next couple of days and won't have access to a computer, so figured I would post it now.

 

 

I'm in!   I need someone or something to help me remain accountable.  My husband and son eat any and everything, for now I'm going to be the change I want to see in my family.  Can you give me suggestions on how to stay clean while at work?  I want to lose 40 pounds (wow, I've not said or written that before).  It's no longer baby weight if my kid is walking, talking, and going to the bathroom by himself.  Let's get it started.

Hey all! Gotta un bold & start again today. Not a real bad cheat but a cheat just the same. I'm ok, I'll have a week under me again in 6 more days!!

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

h8-  I find the more time passes making good decisions, the easier it becomes too! Way to go!!!

vanillivi-26, lisajdiaz, shorelover, arleiapierce  - 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 !

skinnyogi  - hope you're feelin' better :)

arleiapierce- bring good quaity snacks to work. I love almonds, one hanful a day (no more cuz they're high in cals) but they seem so filling.

Dee

Hey Just checking in. Dee Can I get a restrat for today please. I had buffalo wings last night . MMMMMMMMM baby loved it but Wasn't in the clean eating plan for yesterday.

Well it's been only a few hours (so it seems).  Doing well, thanks for the tip.  I purchased a bag of almonds on Saturday morning!  Working on eating clean and keeping my name in BOLD!

Leia

Reset for the 27th, please!

I had to go home over the weekend, and my mom served this dish full of cheese.  And I ate it, and eating a lot cheese makes me sick.  So seeing as how I ate enough cheese to get sick (bleah!)... I figure getting sick doesn't qualify as "clean eating" so I need to be reset

Eep!  I'm not gonna make that mistake again!

I had one of those fantastic days today where you just can't believe how good you were AND you worked out. Now I have to change it in to a perfect week! :D

Hi Dee and everyone eating clean!  I am still clean-ish, but this week will make it really-clean.  I've hit the wall and am getting serious today.  I have to come to that point where I'm feeling actually unwell before I finally get a grip on my eating.  Just got lazy and overconfident I think!  Nancy

I would like to join as well. Food in general is my weakness. I love to cook and  I love cooking comfort foods and baking when the weather gets cold. It is so much easier for me to lose weight in the summer when all I want to eat is salad with meat on top. Fall and winter when it is getting cold, all I want is soup, stew, and mashed potatoes with gravy. Then sweets of course! I am going to try like heck. I am doing a soup cleanse thing this week (mostly because my hubby is and I refuse to cook something different for me). He says at the end of the cleanse cravings will be gone (or so his friend said) and he is trying to quit smoking so he is hoping this will help. We will see. Soup is my all time fave food so it's not too bad.
