Meet Michelle, Who Lost 12 Pounds and 10 Inches During the 30-Day Clean Eating Challenge!<\/h1>\n

Hi! My name is Michelle, I\u2019m 33 years old and I live in the Houston area with my husband and 4-year-old son. I taught elementary school special education for 7 years before deciding to stay home with my son. Now that he has started preschool I have been subbing at his school and love dipping my toes back into the teacher’s life while also being available to participate in his activities. As a family we love camping, hiking, and are on a quest to visit every National Park in the United States. We\u2019ve made quite a dent in them so far! I can\u2019t wait to see how my new lifestyle helps as I continue to venture into the outdoors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Before- March 2023 Dr Seuss\u2019 Birthday celebration at work<\/span>\"\"<\/p>\n

I am not sure when I first found CleanFoodCrush but I know it was through Facebook and searching for healthy recipes. At the time I was just trying to maintain my weight so the Challenge<\/a><\/strong> was not something I needed. As I entered my late 20s and early 30s my weight began fluctuating up and down. <\/span><\/p>\n

After struggling with the infant loss of my youngest son I ate all of my feelings.<\/strong> In the first year of grieving my son I gained around 20 pounds. I had no motivation to do anything about it or change my eating habits even though it was making me feel worse. Around six months ago I decided I needed to get my act together not only for myself but for my oldest son. He deserves a mama who has energy and is healthy and happy and setting a good example for him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019d been following CleanFoodCrush for recipes for years but never committed to the 30-Day Clean Eating Challenge<\/a><\/strong>. On a whim, I finally just decided to join the Challenge<\/strong><\/a> and am so glad I did!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve lost 12 pounds and 10 inches in the first 30 days and can\u2019t wait to see what the future holds!\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

April 20, 2023 celebrating my son\u2019s 2nd heavenly birthday. Big brother blowing out the candles on the cake he made \ud83d\udc99<\/span><\/strong>\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My biggest takeaway has been planning ahead and prepping for success and keeping it simple in the beginning. <\/strong><\/h2>\n

You learn so much about your body and its relationship with food through the Challenge<\/strong><\/a> and you don\u2019t feel deprived of good food.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am so thankful to this Challenge<\/a> and to Rachel and all of the supportive admin for <\/strong>giving me my life back and helping me feel good about myself again<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I still have a way to go to undo the damage I did but I am already feeling better and am motivated to keep going.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

The great thing about the recipes is most of them are quick and easy while also being delicious. <\/strong><\/h2>\n

My son even loves so many of them that it makes it easy not having to worry if he will eat what I am cooking.<\/strong> Two of my favorites are the chicken piccata meatballs and the cheeseburger salad bowls. These two are a family favorite but there are so many delicious recipes to try, I\u2019ve barely scratched the surface.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re undecided about this Challenge<\/a> all I can say is jump in and you won\u2019t be sorry! It has changed the way I feel about food and myself.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

After-April 2023<\/strong><\/span>\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Not to mention:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u27a1\ufe0f I have more energy<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u27a1\ufe0f I\u2019m happier<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u27a1\ufe0f I am proud of my progress so far. <\/strong><\/p>\n

I can\u2019t wait to see what month 2 has in store!<\/p>\n
