Lose weight the fun way.

I am soooooo tired starting off every New Year at least 5 to 10 lbs heavier. I work hard all year to shed unwanted weight and then every summer, like clockwork, gain weight when I go on various road trips. I'm a teacher so I have 2 1/2 months off during the summer. I am always on the go somewhere. It then takes me almost until Halloween to lose it. Then I work hard up until Thanksgiving to drop a few more pounds.

During December, I usually take a month long break from Diet Betting because it's hard to stay focused with all the holiday festivities that are going on. As I begin to carbo load, okay, pig out on holiday goodies, I find myself going to the gym less and less. By the time January rolls around, I feel like one big jelly roll! I can barely fit into my 4/6 jeans. Since dropping 80 lbs the past two years with the help of Diet Bet, I've gotten rid of my size 18/20's and have bought an entire new wardrobe. I REFUSE to buy bigger sizes.

I've decided it's time NOW to break the roller coaster ride that I've been on. Being focused and committed for 9 months a year is simply NOT good enough anymore. My body deserves to be fed healthy, nutritious food all year long.

To help keep my "head in the weight loss game" and stay focused, I've decided that I will take the ULTIMATE HOLIDAY CHALLENGE!!! I will continue to Diet Bet during the hardest month of the year - DECEMBER! I will join 3 new Diet Bets which start around Dec. 1 and will also be hosting my own game as well. I've decided that it's time to

I couldn't agree with you more! I would like to get to the point where I don't have the yo-yo all year long. Apparently I'm known for always being on a diet at work...that's not what I want to be known for. I'm a grown up I should be able to get this under control. I wanted to join your diet bet but I was already in 3 others, each ending a week or 2 later than the other so I could remain accountable for December. I am following along your dietbet by reading the posts from your group and what you post on Jeff's dietbet that I am in. 2 weeks left to make my mini goal for new years which is between 5-7 pounds (the scale was unkind today and up 2 pounds from last week - uurrggg making today's total 7 pounds to go) Hopefully tomorrow it will be back to 5 pounds or less! :)
