Hello everyone! Very excited to be joining you all on this pre-Christmas challenge!
I am a working mother of two young children, and spend a lot of time trying to make sure the children have healthy meals, but then I eat all their leftovers plus a lot of unhealthy food during the evening after the kids go to bed….
I also had two major surgeries this year, and am still in the recovery period for the most recent surgery, so I’m not able to exercise for a few more weeks still. Very frustrating to be house-bound, and my weight has been creeping up very quickly…
So finding this challenge is just the motivation I was hoping for before Christmas! I’ll do my best. Good luck to everyone else!

Hi everyone! I’m Sara, I live in Michigan. I decided to join DietBet to try to get back on track and stay focused. My non scale goal is to have a better mindset other than food, I would like to have a more balanced lifestyle.

Kicking it off strong. I'm down 0.4 from yesterday when I weighed out of the last diebet. I couldn't weigh out on Monday as I indulged over the weekend but plate it and more water and it went right back down. Today I'm under 5 lbs left to my initial goal weigh and feeling better each passing day!

I’m here because hitting my goal and ultimately improving my health is a Christmas present to myself! There’s something about putting money that kicks my butt into gear.

I’ve got 8 gatherings that I’ll be attending between now and the final weigh in. But if I really think about it, this isn’t unusual. My life is full and blessed, and there’s ALWAYS something to celebrate. I can do both in a way that isn’t packing the pounds.

To keep myself accountable, I’ll post my tracker as often as I can. Let’s do this!
