New to the clean eating!!

So my husband and I chatted tonight about changing up our lifestyles and have decided to begin the clean eating challenge. I am very excited!! This is a new thing for us and am excited how this will effect our lives. Does anyone have any suggestions or tips then can give? Thanks:smile:

    Oh Mall you are going to laugh at me but this is the first time I have actually gotten on the computer for my fitness pal. Oh my phone I can't figure out how to read any of your posts....that is why I never respond much:) Motivation is the key and of course keeping the junk out of sight. Whenver we have get together or are out...it's hard to say no but at home if you don't have it you don't eat it. One of Justin's and my downfalls was Colby Cheese. We would buy a block a week and have no problem finishing it, then we looked at the claories and realized this was an easy fix by buying sliced reduced fat colby for only 50 claories a piece. Keep up the tracking I know it helps.....

    You make me smile! Thats what I love about you my very dear friend! I'll tell you what... I ate one of the little mans fruit snacks today (2 actually:grumble: ) not thinking about it just because they were available and I won't do that again. Those little treats are full of CALORIES!! Time to make those from scratch! I'll make a batch for the both of us and see what the kids think :happy:
