1 day, 22 hours, DAY 26

Posted on February 26, 2016

Well, it's official, a little area is on the DietBet site (the 1st of 3) for February that says 1 DAY 22 HOURS to official weigh in. So, I'm going to try to be REALLY good and cross my fingers and we should be right! (maybe I should cross my toes also?)

Along the way I have "spoken" to so many. One of my best friends lost 6 pounds. She isn't going to make her required goal, but 6 pounds is AMAZING and I'm so proud of her. So, even though she isn't going to "win", she DID WIN. I think she tried really hard this month and that is the main thing. Another friend is not going to make her goal either, but she has played the games before and "won" and she is just accepting it this month and continuing with an admirable exercise schedule.

So, the point it..regardless of whether we made our goal or not, we have had SUCCESS. It has made us think about what we eat and it certainly seems to have sent people onto serious exercise. So, if that is how we go into March whether we are playing a game or not, that is awesome!

Good luck everybody on the weigh-in. Keep up the good work and see you around! :)

Later, Denise

I WILL take 6 pounds!!! it is 6 pounds of over 100 pounds I have lost in the past year. BUT when health issues and medication throw you for a loop, you have to let go of the anger, frustration, depression, and keep on keeping on!!! I will get to my goal, I may be 90 years old and having wheelchair races for exercise BUT I will continue this battle. I have many friends going through MUCH rougher and more emotional battles and for me to keep holding onto mine is selfish and wrong. SO therefore, step on women warrior, continue the fight, except the setbacks, rejoice over the success, and as a dear wonderful special young later who sadly lost her life last year unexpectedly believed in 'Energy like you, has no beginning and no end. It can never be destroyed, It is only an ever shifting state' (by Panache Desai) I believe in my heart deep inside that she is with me, encouraging me to continue the fight to keep on keeping on to be strong.... So yes I will!

I'd like to join in on that wheelchair race at age 90, whooping and hollering and laughing all the way to the finish line!

YES - that is my mantra - although I always say PROGRESS! But I like SUCCESS - we all define it differently for each game. You don't even need to win each game, success for each person is different depending on where they are in their weight loss journey. Some months success may be losing 2%, some months (especially if there are vacations or a lot of special events) success may be just maintaining and not gaining.... it is all so personal. You my friend have had great SUCCESS this month - you are going to knock it out of the park!
