4% in 4 weeks. ten days to go

Posted on August 10, 2014

So here I am 20 days later 10.5 pounds lighter. What!? I am really excited to see if I can drop a few more pounds before the end. This last week I have not been walking as much, my darn neck is hurting. I am 4 months out from my spine surgery. But I now weigh less than I have in years. And that feels amazing. My husband asked me a few days ago what diet plan I'm following, and I was happy to tell him I'm not on a diet. I'm making healthy choices. I don't want my kids to follow me into yo yo diet land. I want to be a good example. My husband is the picture of health. He plays men's league baseball, he works out every day. Now I walk 4 miles a day! So now our kids have 2 good role models. Thank you to my dietbet friends for cheering me on and for being my inspiration! I check this message board before I even look at my face book page. (And my best friend who lives far away posts pics of herself and her adorable family all the time) <--- that's why I love fb!

Anyways I just want to wish everyone the best! Let's finish strong!

And then join another game! Lol <3

Wow, it sounds like we have very similar situations! I had spine surgery in August (gained 15 lbs because I couldn't walk for months before). My fiance plays basketball religiously. I'm also being very careful with the way I present the changes I'm making to my daughter. My mother yoyo-ed all my childhood, and I think it had a terrible effect on me. Always great to hear about someone I have something in common with. God luck on your journey!

Great job! I love that you're not on a diet, but making healthy choices!!! THAT is sustainable.

Nice post King lyd!!! Congratulations on your successful weight loss!!! I've lost almost 24 pounds since 5/6/14, & I feel pretty good myself!!! :-) I still have a long way to go to reach my weight loss goal, & I'm really proud of myself. I had been yo-yo dieting for years, losing to gain, & I was sooo tired of that. I started searching the web for sites that paid to lose weight, & that's how I found DietBet. Joining DietBet was the best decision I could have made!!! We have so many wonderful people who are very supportive, whether it's related to losing weight or not. When we're doing well, we receive praise, & when we slip & fall, we receive positive words of encouragement. Who could ask for a better support system than the one we have with our DIETBETTER FAMILY??? I'm gonna miss everybody when this challenge ends............
