Dear dietbet friend- You have been selected because you have inspired/ encouraged/ liked a post/ or in some way helped me and I thank you for that! Now I hope we can help each other-- I am starting a dietbet called Forget the Fudge ( http://diet.bt/in8Zw ), and people are needed!! My friends outside dietbet are, for a multitude of reasons/excuses, not joining, so I am appealing to you, my DB ppl who have helped me get down about 60#. I still have about 15# to go. Can you help and finish off 2014 better than you started?

Josh, I definitely do not think you should give up but do not do anything unhealthy to lose 7 lbs in 7 days. Remember it is the long term that matters. You have already lost 2.2 lbs this month and that is amazing!

Don't give up!

Josh, You need to focus on your long term goal. One weigh in isn't your life. On the other hand, losing 10% of your body weight (over as long as it takes) will bring happier, healthier and more years to your life. My issue with Weight Watchers was that they allow & even promote some crappy processed foods. I find I can only lose weight if I totally give up bread, most cereals & sugar (including all booze). It takes about 3 weeks for those cravings to go away & I usually replace those calories with raw nuts...but the weight is coming off & I feel better. If you are using MFP my user name is redrockshiker. Good Luck, Sue

Hang in there, Josh! Sending you good vibes to focus on your goals!

You can do it Josh!!!
