I was so excited to find Deit Bet and even more excited to win my first 4 week/4% bet!
I think this has helped keep me accountable to myself, knowing my $$ was on the line helped keep me away from the sweets and the extras, and make better food choices, especially during a 2 week vacation where we were eating out all the time!
I am also in a 6 month / 10% bet and next week is the first month checkpoint. I have met that goal and am on the way to the 2nd month goal. Hopefully participating in the 4 week/4% bet will keep me on track and ahead of schedule for the 6 month bet.
My eating plan is low carb but not ultra low carb. Trying to keep it under 50 carbs a day...and trying to walk at least 5-6 miles a day. So far, so good...I've lost 19 lbs in 7 weeks. Hopefully at the end of this bet I'll be able to update that to 30 pounds total lost.
