Clean Eating Challenge deejlb
  Apr 30 2007 22:09
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!

Dee

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

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!!!!!!!!

Hey!  Just want to check in...I'm still doing well, been working out TONS at the gym, and despite coming down with some sort of cold or something I'm still doing fine.  Just had a couple extra glasses of juice today that I wouldn't normally have had, but figured I needed the Vitamin C ;)

I think I've decided that white rice = bad.  I loooove white rice but it's packed with tons of calories.  I ate a lot at dinner but restrained myself from eating TOO much and put the rest in the fridge.  Man, what kind of person binges on RICE?  lol.  Close call.

I'll be in Vegas for the weekend, so please don't delete me if I don't check in on Monday!  I'm going to do my best at eating well this weekend, but...it IS Vegas and I worked out ALL week and originally said Vegas doesn't count, so we'll see, haha.

Good luck to you all this weekend!!
#802 lisalcd17 Jun 29 2007 11:37

#803 emillilly Jun 29 2007 13:22
checking in and all is well  today is our last day at the beach we leave for home sat.
#804 rebchandler Jun 29 2007 14:21
Just checking in & letting everyone know I'm still here...can't write much today...at work...but will check in later!
#805 sugu Jun 29 2007 16:46
Checking in - I'm eating well!  :)  The weekend will be a challenge, though with get-togethers and all.  I think a burger is acceptable for me, as long as it isn't accompanied by the chips and desserts!  :)
#806 jjlewis305 Jun 29 2007 17:30
Checking in.  Weight loss is soooooo stalled its unreal.  I had to write on my scale "It's not defeat until you quit!"  I'm so frustrated, I have to up my calorie intake and see what happens.  It doesn't make sense, I eat, sometimes up to 1850 on a good day of exercise so what gives.  One whole month to lose 2 pounds! Then before that nothing.  ARRRRGGGGHHHHH! Oh yeah, and clean eating still good.
#807 x17star17x Jun 29 2007 17:42
checkin in! Nobody is going to break me :) I'm still eating clean.

I kind of forget what eating bad is like... Hummmm..
#808 morgen12 Jun 29 2007 18:42
aaahhhh.

i fell of the wagon last night :/

i feel like i let ya'll down ,too :(
#809 deejlb Jun 29 2007 20:09
sstreck, yuffleduffles, - welcome, I've added you. Please check in once a week. Also let me know if/when you need a restart & if you ever don't want to participate anymore, let me know that too please so I can remove you from the list. Good luck!!

18- thanks for the story! Yes, we all can turn it around if we just choose to at that crucial moment. HOpefully we can all be strong like that. Way to go!

nancy- k, I'll make a note beside your name, cuz by monday I'll most certainly forget. Have fun with your company!

n00b0die- I won't delete you on Monday cuz you have checked in today, so that woudl be within this last week. Have fun at Vegas! & dont' forget their motto! lol!

sugu - yep, a burger is totally acceptable and can fit into anyone's daily calories. Have a fun time!

jjlewis- sorry the scale is being a dork! With your clean eating, the weight's bound to come off soon. Maybe shock your caloric intake by eating less calories (like 12-1400) for a day or two.

morgen- you didn't let us down. Just get back up & get back at it!
#810 jodimrn Jun 29 2007 20:31
I'm still doing well!!  Sry I was a day late checking in.  Good job everyone.
#811 morrow1191 Jun 29 2007 20:42
I need a restart as of June 28th. 

Daughter had a birthday.  Birthday cake in house.  Not good. 
#812 mabear32059 Jun 30 2007 03:28
made it a month so far

hey dee hows it going?
#813 yuffleduffles Jun 30 2007 04:09
deejib, could you please change my start date to the 28th of june? thanks ;x

while i'm at it, ive got to remark on my self-control and progress i feel ive made in just today. i did not binge, and nor did i go ahead and let myself indulge in some unnecessary snacks. its been a while since ive felt clean like this.. hope this keeps up!
#814 chchtv11 Jun 30 2007 04:45
Ok, so I really NEED to join this challenge because all I want to do is maintain, and if I keep bingeing like I have been lately, I'm definetly not going to be able to. But, the thing is I'm going to france next week, and I've decided that I'm DEFINETLY going to cheat- c'mon! Its FRANCE! Anyway, so I'd love to sign up for this, but I won't be back until the 10th, so I guess that I'll check in then and get signed up! alrighty!
#815 ananda Jun 30 2007 05:19
I need a restart from June 30th.

Last few days wasn't good at all:(
#816 mcfly Jun 30 2007 06:07
need to help, so I want to join the challenge.
#817 mintberrykin Jun 30 2007 19:55
I've been clean for the past few days. I just need to stay away from Captain D's I think.
#818 aurevoirchocolate Jun 30 2007 20:30
Count me in! 

My own Rules: 

Cardio at least 5 days a week NO MATTER HOW HOT & HUMID IT GETS! (running one mile minimum each day)

No PMS binging...

No snacking past 1200 calories if it has not been exercised off

No Bread, Desserts, Sweets, Soda, Ice Cream or JUNK FOOD (pizza, chips, cookies, etc.)

Must weigh myself at least 3 x's a week

No slacking while on vacation
#819 deejlb Jul 01 2007 00:39
Ok, July 1 is a great day to restart!!! I'm gonna put my day at that. Last night was the last of the "Middle of the night" shows. So now some normalcy. I'm getting back to schedule first thing in the morning. Going up to make a huge bowl of salad for the week right now too.

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

mabear- you're doing so awesome. I wish I had done as great as you this last month. I may have lost instead of gained :(  I'm back at it tomorrow, send me some strength vibes, k?

chchtv11, mcfly, vaportrailed -  welcome, I've added you. Please check in once a week. Also let me know if/when you need a restart & if you ever don't want to participate anymore, let me know that too please so I can remove you from the list. Good luck!!

chchtv11- I've started you for July 10 & wont' delete  for not chekcing in for the next week. Have fun on your trip & ya, eating great might jsut be impossible in France!!!
