Only a half a pound to go to make this round, really hoping to get there today. It’s coming off so much slower now, ugh. I really have to watch everything I eat and drink closely. How is everyone else doing?

I'm under goal, but I'm waiting until tomorrow to weigh in so that I keep myself in check this weekend. Anyone else? I've done a few diet bets and many times have pigged out when one round ends only to have to relose those pounds in addition to the goal pounds.
What an inspiring group!! Some of you are off to an incredible start!
Early on I saw some of you ask about your weigh-in goals and / or losing too much weight. The exact breakdowns are in our Make the New Year Magic Transformer FAQs, but I want to put your mind at ease about a few things.
First, your goals are all set already based off your initial weigh-in. They will not change during this game. If you lose more this month, you're that far ahead for your Round 2 goal. To check your monthly goals click the Round Info button by your Round 1 progress on desktop, and All to the right of the Rounds at the top of the app.
Second, you would have to be experiencing some very unhealthy weight loss to be disqualified during a round. Unless you experience an illness, in which case you can reach out to support@dietbet.com, losing 12% of your starting weight during one round is unlikely. See the breakdown for each round here.
Third, there is a difference between our prizes for this game (awarded monthly to anyone active in this game, regardless of weigh-ins or membership) and Weekly Membership Prizes (awarded weekly to Members who have completed the weekly progress weigh-in by Wednesday of each week). Find more information here.

A) I've had a large loss already and it feels great!
B) Slow and steady, I'm feeling good about my pace
C) I'm just getting started
D) I haven't seen a loss yet, but I'm doing the right things!

F) I haven't even looked at a scale yet
G) Other - tell us about it!
Welcome everyone!!
I'm so happy you're here and committed to living a healthier life. It's fantastic that you've put your faith in yourself to make the first 6-months of 2025 magical, uplifting, and life changing!
I'm Kristin, a mom of two from Minnesota, and I'll be your host and biggest supporter through the next 6 months! I’m a WayBetter fan and DietBet player since way back in 2013. I love this community and am so inspired by all of you!
I regularly host a variety of games on the WayBetter app, but every so often I get to go on this 6-month Transformer journey with you - and it's the best! Past January Transformers have ended with tens of thousands of people making life-changing improvements in their health and well-being. It's the most incredible game of the year and it's such an honor to be a part of that!
I would love if you’d tell us a little bit about yourself and why you're looking forward to this 6-month experience!
