This was really a gratifying experience. I entered just to get a kick-start into losing weight. I'm not a calorie-counter, nor scale person. I don't even own a scale. Had to go to my daughter's to get the pics taken both times. Over past 3 yrs had 5 surgeries; and all I could do was sit. Well, I put on 50 lbs. I had very little motivation going into this because I just didn't know where to start. I never thought I would get into the sharing and comments; but I did---And it helped. I lost more than my goal weight: a total of 10.4 lbs. For 1st 2 wks I concentrated on sticking to the diet portion ( cut out all the white stuff: flour, sugar, potatoes, etc). My goal for the next 4 weeks is to lose 8 lbs. I'm trying it w/o dietbet. If I don't, you'll see my name back on dietbet. Thank you to all who commented and cheered me on (Yes, I'm talking to you, Lydia); AND WELL WISHES FOR SUCCESS TO ALL WHO ARE CONTINUING WITH THEIR EFFORTS.

Lydia K.: So glad that you met your goal - and even exceeded that. I do think you should feel proud of your persistence and drive. I am starting the One Fund Boston charity dietbet on Friday April 26th. Maybe I'll see you there!

Yahoo!!! Wasn't sure I could do it but I did! Now the question is... take a break or take the challenge again? :)

Lydia K.: I am doing this One Fund Boston charity dietbet starting April 26th.

Amy M: I might go again but a $5 DietBet, since right now I am 4.4 lbs below the lowest weight I've ever maintained so I'm really not sure if I can lose another 4%. I'd love to but don't want to set myself up for disappointment if my body resists! (I should have started another on Tues since I've already lost another 1lb since our final weigh-in!)
