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!!!!!!!! cerhiunnhn - hiatus Jan 30 chanb73 - Dec 10 - 3rd Place, Congrats!!!!! deejlb - Oct 27 - 1st Place, Congrats!!!!! emmylou - Dec 17 ewwxroflzz - Dec 9 - 2nd Place, Congrats!!!!! healthnut24 - Dec 15 jennlett - Dec 14 madronam - Dec 15 nancy1967 - hiatus s57chevy - Dec 17 shadowmystika - Dec 20 skinnyogi - Dec 18

Hey! I fell off the list! Has it really been a week? Put me back, ya? I'll be good from now on :) Lifes been stressful. With the moving out stuff, getting a car, learning to drive, break up with my fiance, etc etc. I've been "clean" but not so much. Really focusing on upping my fiber again, drinking a gallon of water a day, and cutting back on sodium. Those things matter more than I thought!

Thanks dee- this maintaining stuff ain't all that easy. I fell of yesterday, I let myself get too tired which led to eating crap. So restart as of today-again- Aug. 29. I'm trying to clarify my "rules" to make it easier for me to stay on track. I'll post them when I have it nailed down. It was so much easier to follow a structured plan, now I'm lost. So I'm going to come up with a list of simple guidelines for me to hold myself accountable to. Let you know what and how its going
#1243	skinnyogi	Aug 29 2007 22:10

#1244	dyingtolive	Aug 29 2007 22:39
Can I join? Starting as of tomorrow August 30? I binged today...ugh!

I am like utterly shocked and truly amazed all in one . I am taking this nutrition class and I don't know if I was more shocked or horrified to see the actual serving size of some foods. I learned that even with cutting my portions in half there was still way more food on the plate then was actually read on the side of the box as a serving. The meats were pretty basic but the instructor measured one teaspoon of mayo there was like nothing there. I got sick to my stomach with how much food was still on my plate and then it hit me. this could very well be the reason that I am not loosing like my graph says I should be. Then that starts my dissappointed/stressed out cycle that leads to my binge. I got some pretty good info and I have to do this project where I have to record strictly measured food for three days and put in my intakes and all and then do my averages. It should be pretty interesting. Lets see if I can stay clean while doing this project. LOL

Take me out of the running please, I don't think I'll be checking in as much as I used to and while I'm not taking a break from calorie counting, I need some time to help myself get back on the right track.
#1247	skinnyogi	Aug 31 2007 02:04
ugh. only my second day and I messed up! I need to restart... >_< but tomorrow is a fresh day! and i'm going to keep myself in check from now on!
#1248	austiemg	Aug 31 2007 04:57

I dont think that i will be able to eat clean enough to consider it fair...so dee would you please restart me for Sept. 5th! thank you...and i am really going to try not to use this restart as an excuse to compleatly pig out over the next 5 days!

"why do we fall? so we can learn to pick ourselves back up"-Batman Begins quote...I wish everyone luck this weekend...we can do it...today is a new month for me and I know that we can do this.
#1255	mabear32059	Sep 01 2007 17:17
Still clean! 4 days as of today. Exercise well thats a horse of a different color. I did so well there for a while like 40 days straight and have exercised maybe three times this week. and had to force my self to do that. while many might not see that as bad I commited myself to woprking out at least 30 minutes of cardio daily and fell way short this week. I have convinced myself to chalk it up too my body needing a much desreved rest and TTOM and plan on getting back in the saddle with that this weekend. now if only I could convince my body!! lol
#1256	newbegining	Sep 01 2007 17:22

#1259	skinnyogi	Sep 02 2007 03:20
YAY two days of eating CLEAN. I know it doesn't seem like much but I was on a cycle of binge/good day/binge for a while. AND I think I'm losing some of the bloat that come from that! :)
#1260	ananda	Sep 02 2007 07:58
