Well I didn’t make round 1. Yesterday I was just a few ounces away. I drank coffee, water and love your liver decaf tea, had one bowl of veggie soup, and ate an apple (nothing after 7pm) Thought for sure I would make it. Woke up, weighed in AND I WAS UP 1 Lb. So disappointing and frustrating.

Trying to not give up. In the past when I’ve lost the first round, I’ve lost the entire bet. I need a new plan and need to take dieting more seriously. I’v had good weeks, but I haven’t been really strict.

You can do it! I feel the same. I made it but barely and I did dry January on top of it. I’m not giving up, full steam ahead.

You’ve got this. It could have easily been the sodium. Don’t give up. Remember, it’s a lifestyle change which is more like a marathon than a sprint!

  • I was hesitant to do the side by side. The scale said I had lost the weight but I still feel like I have not lost anything. The side by side is keeping my motivation going. Proof that out minds are our own worst enemies.

I made my goal, but just barely! Proud of what I've accomplished so far, but hoping to blow my next goal out of the water!

  • My wedding is in July! As much as I’m happy being fat, I’m working on overall health and taking some pressure off my joints. I’m stoked to have met my first month’s goal and excited to feel stronger not only for my wedding, but for life!

Today is my day 1 - I gave myself New Year’s Day for special dinner and alc.

I’m motivated, no off limit foods in the house. It’s going to be a long hard battle - I have 60lbs to lose, I’ve never been this overweight. I am breaking it down into mini goals.

First is to lose enough to feel comfortable in my fat jeans (right now even those are so tight I hate to get dressed or leave the house). I work from home and pretty much live in my PJs since they are the only thing I have that are comfortable.

My approach: eliminate bad carbs, mostly whole foods (lean protein, lots of veggies, a little fruit), intermittent fasting (2 meals between 12-7pm), move more, drink less alc (eliminating completely to start).

Anyone else setting goals that are not directly tied to the number on the scale?

I’m trying to get back to IF. It’s hard with all the overeating I’ve been doing. I’m currently spreading my meals farther apart, then next week will be only eating 11–7 window. Dry for 6 months. Weigh and track all my food, 64 oz water and stay in calorie deficit every day. Here we go!!

laurenc

I love these goals!! I'm doing something very similar! Also wanted to share/recommend looking into the Fast-Mimicking Diet (you can set it up yourself, find recommendations online for how to do it, or just buy the $kit$ from Prolon). You only have to do it 5 days/month or quarter, so I find it manageable! And I always feel so much better after.

REAL CHANGE STICKS WITH YOU:

What real changes are you committing to? Last time I did a dietbet, I removed sodas from my daily diet. It's crazy that at one point I told my wife, "I'm not having more than two sodas a day." Two a day? Even at two a day, that's more than 100% of your daily sugar! Rather than doing one a day, I went to NONE! It was hard at first and I've definitely had a soda here and there (Maybe one a month) but it's a big treat now and not something I crave daily.

What am I planning this time?

I have to stick with lifting. I've been focusing on getting up to 20 and 30 pound weight work outs. Last night I had to cut back to 10 pounds during a 20 minute work out routine but I got through it. I've seen progress before and it happens slowly. I have to remember where I am at right now and then look back monthly at the changes.

What real changes are you making and sticking to for THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!?

Intermittent Fasting 16 hours a day and dry January. I’m excited to give my body a break from bad habits

Brian S.

Lisa,

Good for you! Understanding where you need to focus is the key. The hardest point in my life was a three year period where I worked from home. I actually hit my top weight during this period. Also, my joints hurt from all the sitting. I started stretching and walking more and dramatically changed me!

I’m competing b/c I’m at my highest weight ever. As the years have gone by, I have noticed myself falling off the wagon sooner and sooner after starting a dietbet. It’s now time for that to change and to make it THE WHOLE 6 MONTHS!

It’s only been two days, but it’s nice to see the scale starting to creep in the right direction.

I’m with you - each year my highest ever weight is a bigger number. Diet bets use to be enough motivation but not this past year. Time to get serious!

We can do it!

Lori A.

Same story, I’m with you. Let’s do this.
