  • Hello everyone! For those of you who may not know me - my name is Lexi (aka fatgirlfedup). I joined my first dietbet in 2016 and it helped me to stay accountable and lose 312lbs naturally in 2 years. I didn't have a meal plan, surgery, or a trainer. I took the foods I loved and made healthier versions, and started working out 5x a week for 30 mins. I used myfitnesspal to track calories and dietbet to learn from others, which is why I now host! Dietbet helped me change my life and now I want to help you change yours! A few things to start our game:
    - Welcome! First timer or not we are so glad to have you here! Together we have lost over 39,000lbs this year and counting!!! In the process we have also become a family, positive community, and a weight loss force!
    - WATER is your bestfriend and will help boost metabolism, flush out water weight, keep you full and help so much with weight loss! Make sure you drink atleast a gallon a day!
    - PICTURES! Take them all because you will WANT them I promise! Plus we cant wait to see your progress!
    - MOVE! We all start somewhere. Even walking can be beneficial for weight loss! Start small because it all will add up to big results!
    - TRACK! As mentioned I used myfitnesspal and it really helped me. Keeping a food log can help you stay accountable and help you learn about nutrition.
    - Be sure to tag #fatgirlfedupsdietbet on all social media so we can find eachother and be friends! We will also have others joining us for 14 days!
    - Any weigh in problems email support@dietbet.com and they can help!

    Remember that you are worth more than a number and already a winner by choosing to be here! Let's do this!! <3

How often do you submit an official weigh-in? I have an alert it is time for the progress weigh-in. And what is an unofficial weigh-in?

Shannon L.

@Jen, progress weigh-ins are for members to enter the weekly drawing. You can add your weight as an unofficial weigh-in as often as you want. You onku have to weigh officially at the end of the game. That date is at this top of this thread (by 48 hours of the close of the game).

Stepped on the scale this morning after a busy, hectic, didn't eat great some days week, and the scale read 5 lbs down since I started! 💪 So motivating that even small diet changes and drinking more water will help move the scale.

No weight change for 9 days. I’m still 52% of the way to my goal, but this is what ALWAYS happens to me on diet bets. I lose 50% and that’s where it stops. Determined to get to my goal this time but will admit I feel really down about it today.
Daily weigh in, done. Fasting complete- though I’m starting to think IF may not be the magic bullet it’s made out to be. I said I would give this new OMO app one month and if I get below 150 again I will keep it. We shall see. Results are needed!

Stress can make your body hold on to fat, and it sounds like youre pretty stressed about teying to lose the weight.

Depriving your body of sufficient calories can make your body think it's starving and hold on to fat.

An egg fast might be the thing you need. Or a cleanse. Both have worked for me.

Believe in yourself!

Shannon L.

IF isn't a magic bullet, nor is any app. The magic is in you.

I got food poisoning last night, so my routine of morning workout and healthy breakfast got thrown out.. one of my biggest obstacles is getting back on track after a disruption (like getting sick). Please send me suggestions for not getting derailed when things don’t go as planned. Happy weekend!!

Shannon nailed it! First just LOVE you and where you are. You are not stationary in your journey. There is just a need of 1% better each day. Tell yourself how awesome you are! I AM affirmations day and night in a journal.
Your vulnerability is strength. You GOT THIS!
Positive vibes sent your way. ✨️ ✨️

I’m amazed the food poisoning didn’t kick start a loss

  • Post gym breakfast! As someone who usually does just a high protein breakfast, I never imagined I'd like having vegetables with my meal in the morning, but it's been helping me stay full longer, create a high volume meal to start my day + you never regret eating more vegetables! It's an interesting combo but I've been having eggs, center cut bacon, salsa, light sour cream & seared brussel sprouts for awhile now. Sometimes I'll also use egg whites or broccoli. It sounds different, but it's good! What's your go to breakfast?

You are SO right about the veggies!! My favorite breakfast is a southwest style tofu scramble with lots of veggies plus leafy greens like kale and spinach, Avocado, salsa, roasted potatoes and a side of fresh fruit....omg you inspired me to have a beautiful breakfast! Thank you!

Rhonda L.

I avoid dairy since it is so inflammatory for me. 2 eggs scrambled or omelet with roasted green chiles, onion, a couple of cherry tomatoes, salsa and crispy turkey bacon. Iced coffee with almond milk. It keeps me satisfied and I don’t feel cheated. Breakfast is my favorite meal and I love lots of carbs so this is a shift for me. I try to get 8 to 12 veggies in a day. My goal. Don’t always get there

We all must have done pretty well if the profit on the original bet is just $1.25! Good work everyone!

Shannon L.

64 winners out of 81 participants. After diet bets 25% cut, we would get back about $94.75, so they sacrificed part of their cut. But 25% of $35 seems more reasonable than 25% of $100. They're making a boatload on us! I'll stick to the cheaper bets in future!
