Not always on track

I gained 30 lbs in 3 months a little more than a year ago and have been having trouble losing it. If I could gain the weight so fast, why can't I lose it just as quickly? I joined Dietbet because I like challenges. I thought for sure that I would win. I only needed to lose 4% of my weight, just barely over 7lbs. But, I did not succeed. I was about to lose around 5lbs which was not enough to win. Not only that, but I gained back all the weight I lost since that challenged ended.

I have done different things to help me lose the weight. I gave up chocolate chip cookies, donuts, ice cream and McD's for good. I also purchased a Fitbit which I have been using religiously to help motivate my movement. It also accurately tracks my weight, so that I cannot lie to myself. But, the reality is, that I need to do much more because I am not getting any lighter.

I'm starting off this challenge with the idea that I am going to win this time. This blog will detail my journey.

Good for you for trying again. It's not easy, if it was, we wouldn't have an epidemic of overweight in this country. My focus is on diet, and to lose weight I am pushing fluids and fruits and veggies, and making sure I get enough protein. Keep working at it to find what works for you.
