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

OOH! Me too, please! I'm REALLY trying to lose weight right now, and so far it's been going great! (However, I went on vacation for 2 days this weekend, and somehow managed to come back weighing 2.5 lbs more than I did before I left... change in altitude? haha I think not!) It's wierd though, because I excercised both days, and tried to eat reasonably well... I didn't exceed my calorie intake or anything! I'm a little frustrated right now, and I could DEFINETLY use the support. Great idea, by the way! Anything else you need to know about me?? How do we check in? Just look for a post in the forum?? Thanks, Erin

Hi everyone! I am alive, and I am back at the computer finally. I have to report in all honesty that I was NOT clean yesterday. It's been several weeks since I could type in, but while I was in the US, even though I did eat everything I wanted to eat which I miss here in Italy (Asian, donuts, tacos etc.) I was pretty much clean and counting calories to boot. But I've been back almost a week, and after our 9 - count 'em 9 - guests left us, I kind of went on a mini binge yesterday. It might be that my body just needed the calories but did I really have to go straight for the cookies and ice cream? Nope. So, I'm unclean but at least I am back in action and looking forward to getting back on track. I need it. THanks Dee!! ciao guys, Nancy

#1327	skinnyogi	Sep 18 2007 12:37

Dee I need a restart for today the 18. I did fine yesterday and then we dicided to see a movie and I had planned on the popcorn. We had to wait for an hour for the next show we wanted to see so we opted to go next door to Applebees for coffee and desert. mmmmmmmm on the lips but I am sure my delightful chimmicheese cake put me right over the edge. I am Back on track now!

gah! mabear do NOT eat movie theater popcorn. That stuff has nearly 800 calories and 20+ grams of fat in a medium sized bucket. And thats without butter. Scary I know. You were probably better off with the dessert and coffee. I bring gerber baby food munchies to the movies with me. That or 100 cal pretzel packs, or I pop my own popcorn and purse it. Orrrr I bring cheerios which are an awesome munchie. Just lookin out! Oh and I'm clean Dee. Been doing good. 6 more pounds until I have lost HALF of myself. I kept the better half of course. No need to worry :)

#1336	deejlb	Sep 20 2007 22:14
4 lbs down after one day of clean eating. What a lot of water to hold hey? Crazy! Well, at least now it doesn't seem like I put on as much weight as it did yesterday :) 1/2 my meals down & my workout too! yay! Can't wait to get back into the 140s!
#1337	cerhiunnhn	Sep 21 2007 10:26
Hey again. I've been doing pretty well since my restart! But I've been noticing my weight going up -- maybe from all the time on the elliptical machine? I'm going to drink some more water and eat a little more protein and a little less carbs to see if I can't get the numbers to keep going back down I saw my doctor yesterday and she told me that she's verrrry happy with my weight, especially since I'm in college and all. That's inspiration enough to keep eating clean!!!
#1338	linnieom	Sep 21 2007 12:53
I cant seem to make a week of clean eating!!! My dad made his pizza and calzones and sent some over to my house and of course I had to eat some!! I am making a new start today ! I can do this :)
#1339	psalm139140	Sep 21 2007 16:17
Hey all, I'm sick again! :P But I'm still eating clean. YAY!!
#1340	nancy1967	Sep 21 2007 17:19
Hi guys, I need to come clean. ... with the fact that I am not eating cleanly. I was in denial but looking at my food journal I can see it clearly. Cookies (Pepperidge Farm! They don't sell those in Italy! and McVities Digestives, freebies from the supermarket, argh!) and wine. Yeah, it's back to WINE. But it's soooooo good and I have been sooooo stressed this last week and a half. I thought all my dog-walking would cancel out these no-no's but to be honest, it just doesn't feel CLEAN to me. It may sound to some of you like I'm being overly hard on myself, but in reality I was being too SOFT on myself. So I'm not clean. I will try for tomorrow, Saturday. We got a liter and a half of this Shiraz from Cortona Italy, it's only 3 Euro a liter and BOY is it good. But it still doesn't beat the Montepulciano Rosso that we usually get ONE EURO a liter. If wine cost more maybe I'd drink less of it. No, that's not true, either. I was knocking back the California whites while I was over there and it's NEVER cheap! If I can report in on Monday that I'm clean, that will only mean from Saturday, but I'll 'fess up, honest. Have a good weekend gang! Nancy
