Hi, I'm Lindsay, from Chicago. I was motivated to join the group because I've been in a pretty good mindset lately and wanted to give myself some extra accountability to keep it up during the holidays. My non-scale goal is to get more sleep - I'm a single mom with almost full custody of 3 school age kids and a full time job, so I get so little time to myself that it's hard to make myself go to bed during that brief period of time when the kids are all asleep and I have a little bit of time to myself.

Hi! I'm from Long Island NY. I am doing this diet bet because I've put on some weight that needs to go! And a NSV I'm working on is feeling better in my clothes.

I think one of the reasons I didn’t win Ilana’s last game was that I didn’t set mini goals to meet through the 4 weeks. I do better when I have boxes to check, so that even if the scale doesn’t reflect my effort every day, I have a record of all the good choices I made. More good choices usually snowball when I can achieve small wins. Action begets motivation begets momentum.
This week I’m aiming for
-Closing my rings every day
-Water First before every meal
-Watching the 2B Super Block on weekdays

So far, I’ve watched SB W1D1, and WF before breakfast and coffee. 32oz down!

Edit- did the things!

I love this idea and I think it’ll help me as well. Midway through the last round I was summoned for jury duty. While that killed my planned lunches and means I have to eat out every day, I was more active and drank more water.

Trial’s not over yet, so setting some small daily goals that are achievable will help keep me motivated.

@ Carissa oof! That would be a curve ball. Great job seeing the positive!

Just a quick rant and then I’m good - hormones are the worst! Every 3-4 weeks my weight jumps 2lbs and will stay there for a week before slowly re-entering weight loss mode.

I know it’s a little petty, but I really wanted to meet the DietBet goal but timing wise, I’m not sure I can now. I know this is more about accountability than a number, but it’s so discouraging and I admit I was quite angry during this week’s weigh in.

Whew - I’m good now ☺

I get it it’s not easy ! The hormones with our cycle!
Imagine that I have pcos and never know where in my cycle I am ‘ it’s even more frustrating! My weight to goes up before and during my period !!! Don’t get discouraged ( I personally don’t weight myself everyday when on my period )

Like everything else in this world, it seems even weight loss is rigged against women. That sucks. So sorry. Hang in there and do what you can. Hope you make it. I’m cheering for you!

I just hit my first 2lb weight loss goal this morning 😍

I admit I was not fully on board with the idea of 2lbs at a time, but dang does it work. It helped me keep focused on a small goal and I was more determined as a result!

I find that when in a deficit, I often wake up around 3am and can’t fall back to sleep. Sometimes, I wake and eat a snack while others I try to just go back to sleep, but it can take hours. Obviously, the fatigue makes everything harder. Any tips?

Love this reminder you left for us. Thank you :raised_hands:

Snack Smart!
If you’re feeling snacky, reach for a veggie! Carrots, cucumbers, or even air-fried zucchini chips can keep you full and on track. What’s your go-to healthy snack? Drop it in the comments!”

  • I’m a sucker for loaded potato soup. So comforting to me and keeps me soooo full.

    Tried the Mindset Menu variation this week and it’s the perfect replacement for me - I don’t miss the heavy cream or cream cheese. 😋
