CONGRATS, JAMIE!  Oh man, my story is a long one now! CSE has been a part of my life for about three years now,  and I think it always will be. So this challenge is just another chapter in a very long book! I’ve experienced a lot of changes in...

CONGRATS, JENNIFER! When I see my face in my first picture back in the fall of 2020, I can see the sad, heartbroken mother I was. I had just been through the hardest year of my life; my second high-risk twin pregnancy, knowing one of them would die from a fatal...

CONGRATS, LUKE!  My first challenge, I was almost obsessed with food tracking and doing 5+ long cardio workouts every week. This time around, I was a little more lenient on tracking and really wanted to focus on putting some muscle on. I only did a couple cardio workouts, but sticking...

CONGRATS, KURT!  If I had the ability a year ago to see where I am now on my fitness journey, I wouldn’t believe it. I am in the best shape of my life. Where I am now probably wouldn’t be possible without CSE. Since my first challenge a year ago,...

CONGRATS, ERIN! So this challenge has looked a little different for me. I’ve recently changed careers and am now teaching high schoolers. With this switch, there has been a lot of stress as I’m navigating different work hours and our family of five. Throughout it all, Clean Simple Eats has...

CONGRATS, BRITTNEY! This challenge has changed my outlook on my fitness journey forever. I've always approached my goal of 'losing weight' by extreme diets and lots and lots of cardio. With little to no success, I would eventually feel down and give up, and I found myself not achieving my...

CONGRATS, BJ! A few years ago, my wife asked me to do a CSE Challenge with her. I ate the food my wife prepared and gave a halfhearted effort in healthy snacking and exercise. After the challenge, I quickly went back to the poor eating habits I’d had before the...

CONGRATS, LACY! For my entire adult life, I have struggled with weight and feeling yucky (bloating, cramps, digestive issues, inflammation, etc.). I felt like I had tried every diet under the sun and just kept losing weight and then gaining back more, while living with a constant bellyache.  A few...

CONGRATS, JAMIE!  This is my third consecutive challenge I’ve participated in, and I’ve learned so much about myself during each one, while seeing the forward progress I was hoping for when I initially signed up.  I knew I needed a lifestyle change at the end of 2021 when I was...

CONGRATS, HAILEY!  I’ve done a few CSE challenges. I wanted to do the 75 Day Hard Challenge with some friends. I knew that CSE meal planning would be a perfect combo for helping me stick to my macro diet. I downloaded the CSE+ app then got a few friends to...

CONGRATS, EMMA!  I love all of the CSE meals and snacks!!! It’s been years and years of meal plans, and I’ve never gotten tired of them. My family loves them too. When I had my third baby in 2016, I was able to get healthier and lose excess weight during...

CONGRATS, MORGAN! Let me just start by saying, I don’t feel like this part of the challenge is my strong suit! I feel like I never can express how much I truly love CSE or say how much this lifestyle change has helped me, not only in my physical health,...

CONGRATS, COLLIN! I had always been pretty active and fit and was able to consume whatever I wanted with little consequences on my physical appearance. Once I turned 30, I started to see the consequences of eating poorly. I was slowly putting on pounds, having a hard time sleeping at...

CONGRATS, ANNIE! When I started using Clean Simple Eats two years ago, the goal was to be smaller, to weigh less and to take up less space. This challenge, I flipped a switch and I decided to be done taking up less space. I decided to take up the space...

CONGRATS, BARRY! I did this challenge three years ago when I finally decided enough was enough. I had been diagnosed with high blood pressure and sleep apnea and was on the verge of getting a CPAP, just like my dad and brothers. At that time, the first weeks were extremely...

CONGRATS, GABBY! I’ve been doing CSE since spring of 2019, and I’ve been hooked ever since. It has always been my go-to way of getting healthy. This winter challenge was very different this time around. I had my second son back in May 2021. And for whatever reason, a month...
