Yesterday I was pretty down, upset with myself, and almost ready to give up. I couldn’t believe I didn’t make my round 1 goal (which is usually the easiest especially after the holidays.

Well after not being very good yesterday (wine and popcorn last night) I woke up and found myself 2 lbs down…that’s a lb under the goal…just one day too late.

Does anyone else find their weight fluctuates up and down a lot for no reason? I make all my food at home, very little sodium, and calories are about the same each day.

I lost the $20 for round one but am motivated now to win! I need to get ahead of round 2 so I have a buffer at weigh in time since the scale is so unpredictable!

Happy to see so many people doing well! Let’s keep going.

Idk if I should take my little 65 dollars and leave the platform or if I should play another game?

What do yall plan on doing?

For all those complaining that it's a scam... It's a business that helps you have the motivation to lose weight. I've been doing games since 2013, I've won all but one. The risk of losing money is more of a motivation to me than winning money. If you want to try one where you can REALLY win good money (won $2400 on top of my initial bet this past year) try Healthy Wage, if it's about the money for you.

Somehow I was not logged in so I didn't get notifications and I forgot 😭

I always feel that i do well for a certain period of time, loose a specific amount of weight, and then some sort of internal sabotage kicks in and i start to revert back to old habits, to comfort food, to emotional eating, specially when i do have stress in my life, which i think i will never have a stress free life, so i will need to learn to live with and handle it not escape to food, i meed to teach my brain new habits and new methods to handle stress. Which is not food!
But this self sabotage feels like it has more than that in it, i feel like internally i believe that i will mess up my weightoss journey and that i will regain the weight, it's this internal believe that i am bound the fail, and then is tart to proof it to myself by actually reverting to old emotional eating habits.
I see this now, I understand that weight loss is not about food restrictions, it's actually about learning to handle my emotions and changing my habits, which means a different mindset and a different focus, not only on food but on myself. I want to say to everyone who have similar struggles that's it's not easy, but we can do it, we might have ups and downs, but what matters is to keep going, and to realise our feelings and why we do what we do, our old brain habits will try to steer us into food, but we need to actually deal with the real emotions and feel the feelings without food. And learn this new habit.

Do I have to wear clothes in my weigh in photo 😂😂 kidding....... I think

Less than a lb away from my round 2 goal already.

I started this week down 5 lbs! I worked my butt off last week by working out and walking every day, drinking 100oz of water, staying on top of my macros, and, most importantly, believing in myself! It is amazing what a mindset change will do for you. I hope everyone is doing great! In the words of one of my trainers on Faster Way (which really resonated with me this morning): "Here’s the deal: in 2025, it can be you against you, or you can be your own partner. Partner with yourself. Tell yourself what you can do. Believe what you can do, because you can do this."
