Hi everyone, my name is Alyssa. I have yo-yoed with my weight for years and have not been faithful with diets or excercise and I'm hoping this will help keep me accountable! Last year I lost about 20 pounds which got me to 185lbs and slowly I have gained much of it back (currently at 195). My lifestyle has changed so much over the last year as I have started a new relationship and have gotten very comfortable with looking... ehh, pudgy. We are busy from literally sun up to sun down and often don't eat dinner until 9pm! We also drink a few beers throughout the week and hit it a little harder on the weekneds- (I know, not healthy and bad for diets). I want to look good for the summer, for a wedding I'm a bridesmaid in which is in June, and hopefully my wedding next year! Any motivation, diet tips, recipies, advice would be helpful!

Sign in to CommentHi Alyssa!! Welcome to DietBet - we are so excited to have you as a part of the community. :) First of all, congratulations on taking the first (and most important!) step: recognizing that you want to change. Lifestyle changes can definitely be overwhelming, but I would recommend the following: 1. Break your goals into small steps. What can you do tomorrow to get yourself one step closer to your goal? What about today? 2. Find a supportive community that will hold you accountable. DietBet is great for that! Once you sign up for a game on our site, feel free to post your accomplishments, challenges, etc. Our community is AMAZING and other players will have lots of great ideas for you! 3. If possible, consult with a doctor/nutritionist/trainer about what changes might work best for YOUR body. Everyone is different, so it's best to find someone super knowledgeable who can assess your situation and recommend changes. Take a deep breath and tell yourself that you can do this! We've got your back and can't wait to see the progress you make! You've got this!!!
