1.5lbs off!! Oh well, it's my own fault for slacking off during my whole birthday week. I'll make it next round.

I really wish we could get paid out every round instead of at the end. The $$ would come in handy! :)

If you are looking to make money here that probably won't workout, the whole goal is the incentive that you don't lose the money that you put in.

  • We did it! The game has ended and it's time for the final weigh-in!

    Make sure to submit your FINAL weigh-in (not just a Progress weigh-in) during January 29-30 in Pacific Time.

    Can’t wait to celebrate your wins!

    And remember, if you didn’t quite make it, that’s okay! What did you learn? How can you use that knowledge as you move forward?

    Win or lose, I definitely recommend continuing to build your healthy habits by joining a new game today! There are always new games starting, and if you’re at your final goal, you can join a Maintainer game through DietBet membership!

    We've had so much fun, I'd love to see you in my next game. It starts on February 2. Here's the link!

Hello! Accidentally submitted my final weigh in as my progress weigh in today. Hope you can assist!

Referee Nancy

Anne, you should be able to use the progress weight. Just start the weigh in process and the option should appear.

I’ve never done a $100 DietBet. Are the weigh ins the same as the $40 ones?

I always gain weight after exercise, be it cardio or strength. Always have, even after dozens of attempts to change it up (fewer calories! More calories! Protein! Exercise earlier! Exercise later! Yadda yadda). So I've watched the weight loss slow down quite a bit since I've been making sure to regularly exercise. Not that much of an issue, since overall exercising is good for my physical and mental health, but it is a bit annoying. I blame inflammation and the fact that I put on muscle stupid easy. (:

I hear people get actually swollen when the workout muscles so maybe that could be why

Happens to me every time! After leg day, I will be up 3 pounds the next day alone. But eventually the inflammation and weight come off!

Mercedes B , sourdough is actually a lot better for you. It’s easier for our bodies to digest. Also great for people who struggle with blood sugars and have pro and prebiotic qualities

Beautiful!

So, on average I've been eating 1500 less calories per day than I'm used to. I've been having heartburn. The only other time in my life I've had heartburn wash during pregnancy. Does anyone else have that happen, or had that happen?

I often have heartburn when I have had a big change in my dietary habits, whether good or bad. I am not sure what the science is on it, but give your body time to adjust to the new you. Maybe Mariele has got a point!

Alesha S.

I am not prone to heartburn but I have gotten it in the past year or so when I heat a lot of fat for a few days. Had it really bad after Thanksgiving last year...it was horrible!!!!! I did read that drinking pickle juice helps, something about the vinegar....i hope you get it figured out cause that burn is awful!!!
