Lose weight the fun way.

Posted on January 3, 2016

Why do we say we 'lost weight'. Typically when I lose something I want to retrieve it. But I don't want to retrieve this unwanted weight. Let's call it 'dismissed weight' instead, shall we?!

Case in point- I successfully completed my first DietBet right before Thanksgiving. I 'lost' just over 7 pounds, only to find it over the past several weeks. I didn't want to find it. I didn't want it to come back, but it did.

I just submitted my initial weigh in and it is exactly the same as my initial weight in November. (At least I lost those 7 pounds and didn't add another 7 on top of it.) This time, I want to DISMISS the weight and I never want to find it again.

Cheers, players, and good luck to dismissing those pesky pounds!

Oh how I understand your frustration at "finding" the "lost" weight! I too shed weight on a kickstarter that ended right before Christmas. In the few days before my next kickstarter, I had found several pounds back. I went ahead and joined a Transformer just so I wouldn't have a few days off from my goals. As a diabetic, I can't even afford a "cheat" day or my sugars go c-r-a-z-y!

I'm not diabetic, but it seems like I can just LOOK at a carb and I'll gain weight! I love having cheat days, but I just get out of control and sabotage any progress I've made.

Excellent post. I have a similar situation--did a Kickstart DB in late summer and lost 7 pounds. Which is great, because I really need to lose about 30. Stayed at that weight right up to Thanksgiving, and then managed to gain it all back by New Years. This is my first Transformer DB, and I'm hoping it helps me break the yo-yo cycle. Ready to dismiss the weight for good!

I hear ya! I was a little unsure of the length of the Transformer...but it's where I want to be anyways, so I figured it'd be a great tool for keeping me on track- especially since I'm in a friend's wedding in Mexico in July! We can do this!

I think it helps to do the longer transformers. Love this concept of "dismissed weight." Keep it up and log in every day!
