Like many of you, joining a DietBet was the best thing I've EVER done for myself. I never really had much diet success before, maybe a max of 10 lbs--but I would always gain it back.
Thanks to DietBet I've lost 26 lbs over the last 6 mos. (30 lbs altogether before joining). I know that I will NEVER gain this weight back. I did not think it was possible to get below 145 lbs when I began. That's hard to believe now. My final game weigh-in was at 130 lbs after pushing hard when I starting the game at 136 lbs. Haven't been 130 in 20+ years!!
I know people that have resulted to bypass surgery because they felt they had no other option and just couldn't lose weight. YOU CAN DO IT is what I want to tell everyone!! Weight loss surgery does mean you lose weight - but also your muscle since the focus isn't on exercise.
Doing this the right way means so much. I DID THIS with my own intention (and support of DB friends) by limiting portions, tracking calories, eliminating junk food snacks and exercising religiously. I am SO MUCH stronger now than 10 years ago thanks to my workouts (Insanity/T25 and Turbo Kick classes). I can hold a plank for over 1 minute and can do 10 full pushups (4 months ago I could do 3).
Feels AWESOME to regain my fit body as I approach 50 years old in less than 18 months. We can do anything we put our minds to and BELIEVE is possible.
Don't Doubt Yourself---You CAN Do This!!!!
