    Just want to make sure that I'm in! A week in to cleaning up my diet, and it is going good... but normally, my motivation tanks after the first 4 days! This is the type of challenge I need to keep me motivated!

    Welcome to the challenge, everyone! I'm so happy that so many are joining in. The challenge will be open until Sunday, but really it's always open, but ends on October 31, so if you join late, you won't get the full 21 days.

    I think that I will keep this challenge open for the duration, and keep on posting here instead of starting a new thread! It will still end at the the end of this month, so anyone starting late will have to miss some of the days, but should be okay. :bigsmile:

    I'm starting tomorrow, because I ended up having a lot of leftover birthday cake and just had to have some for breakfast today! Really, I had no choice in the matter. :laugh:

    Today is grocery shopping day and I will be stocking up on healthy foods and staying away from the junk! I'm pretty excited to see what weight loss results I'll have during the next three weeks, by pretty much staying away from simple carbs. It should be good results for me.

    I hope that everyone is having a great start to the challenge!

    I'm new here and I like this challenge. As soon as I start thinking of chips, it's the beginning of the end for me. This will cause
    me to rely more on water and fruit.

    I'd love to join! The item on the list that is an issue for me is the chocolate - I just LOVE it and it's hard to resist, so this will be good for me. I'm going to continue eating peanut butter, but will otherwise stick to this list! Here's to a healthier 3 weeks :)

    I am coming to realise that I have a big problem with junk, even when I stay within my calories I squeeze in some junk. so as hard as this will be, I am willing to give it a good try!

    Count me very reluctantly in lol. I have major issues with chocolate - add me as a friend if you can relate!

    I hope this will be good accountability for me. And dammit it's the 10th here already!

    for me I need to add muesli bars (if that's what you call them in the States) - I know some can be healthy but the are something I am hooked on so for me it's about breaking the mental addiction.

    I may lose the will to live by about Wednesday afternoon!

    Please count me in. I have never been in a challenge before so I'm not exactly sure how to keep in touch with everyone, but hopefully I will get the hang of it.

    I'm in too!

    I've let myself go lately and now its time to get back on track, junk food is my downfall, especially in the evenings so this challenge will be great!

    Well it's night time on 10th here and I am going to bed - feel like I am getting the flu. If I manage to resist touching the chocolate in the cupboard it will be the first night in about 20 years that I have succeeded - I kid you not.

    Day 1...... Already thinking it may be a hard day~! Need to plan out all my meals/snacks for the next 3 days to avoid the HUNGER and grab anything phase!

    I'm in! I am already starting my own 6 weeks no sugar/wheat challenge today. So I'm going to jump in here to get some accountability!

    Today's day 1 for me! So far the only change I've made is replacing Jif peanut butter with natural almond butter in my oatmeal.

    Grocery shopping actually ended up saving me money this week, so I am really thinking that my junk foods were expensive!

    Offical Day 1... but I've had a whole week of clean eating! Just need to keep the momentum going! I thought about having some sort of sugar last night but decide, why? I've been so good all week, I can go 28 days!

    some of this is unclear to me but Im in to attemtping no junk food for me for the rest of the month, but stuff like my all natural sugar sweetend coffee creamer, is that junk or not? but I will put the effort in to cut out clear cut junk foods

    Basically, the list is open to personal interpretation! If you think that your natural sugar coffee is a junk food, then cut it out for 21 days. But if that's a part of your healthy day, don't worry about it.

    I've added a few things to the list for myself (food bars, sandwich thins, light wheat bread) because I have had binge-issues with those foods lately and have allowed natural almond butter to not be considered a junk food. I'm also considering pretzels to not be chips, since I have no problem limiting myself to one serving of those.

    Many are keeping those two foods in, and just following the other "no"s. :-)
