Amanda Lost 14.5 Inches in 30 Days With CleanFoodCrush

Meet Amanda, Who Lost 7.3 Pounds and 14.5 Inches During The CleanFoodCrush 30 Day Clean Eating Challenge!

Hi there crushers!  My name is Amanda.  I am 43 years young and am blessed with the most amazing husband a girl could ask for and 3 awesome children.  I work in the mortgage industry as a Loan Officer Assistant and have a very sedentary job as I am at a desk all day long.  

I enjoy being with my family and our friends as much as we can.  I also enjoy spending my time watching each one of my kids as they play the sports they love.  

I have a daughter in high school that plays soccer, powerlifts, volleyball and runs track.  I have an 11 year old son that plays, football, baseball, basketball and runs track.  My youngest….well he just likes basketball.  So needless to say, I’m on the go a LOT.  

We spent so much time eating out because we were either at a field or a gym watching one of the kids playing something that cooking just didn’t work.  Now I use my Sunday afternoon to prepare my meals for the week so there’s no fast food temptation. I will even take a meal prepped meal with me to places where my husband wants to eat sometimes.

The clean eating challenge has helped me in so many ways.  My husband and I have been together around 13 years.  He’s never experienced me fully happy with how I look and has seen a million different diets that I get on and then change courses on.  

I have always thought veggies were ok, but never had a love for them.  This program has changed that!  

My husband has begun to see a new me, a happier and a more confident me.  He’s referred to this as a diet many times (why wouldn’t he with all of the diets I’ve done in the past) but I have corrected him that this isn’t a diet it’s just eating clean and it’s something I am not going to veer from.  

  • I am no longer interested in eating sugar, fast food or box food.  
  • I am fitting back into clothes that I couldn’t fit in for a long time and it’s such a great feeling.
  • I have lost a few pounds (7.3) since starting this challenge
  • I’m no longer swollen from eating junk food, 
  • My rings fit better, 
  • My clothes fit better.  
  • I have lost a total of 14.5 inches and 4.5 of that from my stomach

The BEST THING… This wasn’t something I had to suffer through because I am LOVING what I’m eating.

I am pretty much the only one in my house doing this so it can be a little tough.  I will watch as they will eat donuts on the weekends or other things that I want to stay away from.  But when I make a meal for them, I at least know they’re getting something clean and healthy.  

For the ones on the fence….get in the yard and have some fun with all of us CrushersYou get a WONDERFUL support system through the CFC Admins and also with your fellow crushers.  It’s the best ever.  

My words of advice to those taking that leap of faith….get a food scale, take measurements, TAKE BEFORE PICTURES, don’t worry about that blasted scale.  It doesn’t paint you a whole picture and it can be a discouragement.  Weigh once a week but don’t put too much thought into what it says.  Don’t forget your “why”.  Why are you doing this?  Make sure nothing is stronger than your why.
