I'm definitely not going to hit goal this time. I did great the first 2 weeks, but then got sick. The prednisone has made me eat everything in sight.

I can at least say I am not a higher weight than when I started.

I failed a lot. When I first started I won every game and lost 40lbs. But I got off track and gained it all back. Tried and lost several times. I am back on track and so far won this round. Ryoku it is hard. As long as you keep trying, you will get there. We all fail sometimes but we all can get back on track to our own personal goal. You got this. Little steps. Go for a walk and take water. I believe in you.

Elena P.

I’m with you here. I was supposed to be off prednisone and was hoping to meet the goal…but no, tapering had to happen a lot slower than initially planned.

The diet devil is out to get me today. There is so much candy around the office. I've had 10 pieces of mini chocolates already and my shift started 3 hrs ago.

I totally get it. I think it can work to say this is one day only to enjoy some candy, and still eat your healthy food, and then get back to normal tomorrow.

Amy Z.

It's ok, you are human. Hope it's going better today :grin:

Jill,

I also do what Bean does. I use the TDEE calculator to figure out my maintaince calories and take off around 500 calories. So I do 1450 calories. I look for high protein, low calorie meals to be able to eat more but also feel fuller longer. I use the Aussie Fitness cookbook for some recipes.

Try and be conscience of what you are eating. Ex.Eating a 200cal candy bar vs 200cal in strawberries. It's healthier and you get more with the strawberries. Also try to avoid drinking your calories.

Amy Z.

I try to drink a full glass of water before eating so I am fuller.

  • Hi. I'm confused about the weigh-ins. How often do we weigh-in? I did an unofficial weigh-in today with no picture, but it still says, "Time for a Progress Weigh-in" But when I click that it advertises becoming a member and there's no weigh-in option. I hope this makes sense. Does only the first and last weigh-in count?

Yes, the progress weigh ins are for members to enter the weekly drawing. You don't have to be a member to participate in the game.

Ryoku

Progress weigh ins are for those who got the membership. The weigh in puts you into their weekly drawing.

The unofficial weigh in is to use if you want. It's not necessary for the game. I use it daily to keep me accountable and to see how much I've lost and how much to go. I love seeing it visually. :)

Just wondering if you recommend becoming a member? I need to do something, my weight keeps going up.

Being a member gets your name put into a weekly drawing. it also allows you to join games you normally would not be able to, like a 3% weight loss game vs a 4%.

Megan M.

I became a member last game as well as this game. I feel the weekly weigh ins kept me more on track throughout the entire game and my weight loss was consistent. I’m hoping to win this game as well. Good luck to everyone.

I can't wait to see some recipes and what people are eating. I need to shake things up.

You're a member, so weekly weigh-ins enemter you for the weekly prize drawings. You can also journal weekly or more often.

Kristin E.

What are the prizes usually?

Do you have to be a member? I have already paid my $35
Just wondering about the yearly membership

Shannon L.

You don't have to be a member. If you are, you can weigh in weekly to be entered into the prize drawing.

DietBet takes 25% of the pot, and winners split the rest. I usually come out $11-$16 ahead of what I paid in.
