Confused with limits

Posted on October 30, 2014

I am on day 3 and I am down about 5 pounds. I was going to post an update to my weight but I saw somewhere that you can get disqualified from losing too fast. I am confused!! How do I find out my limits I don't want to get booted in the first week!

Thanks in advance!! I did a search but didn't come up with the answers I was looking for.

Hey Teresa...this game hasn't actually started yet. Are you referring to another game? Your official weigh in won't happen for a few more days as far as I know...good luck! And, the beginning usually goes fast then it slows to a more normal rate.

Don't be afraid to update your weight: here's the truth: while your loss so far is AWESOME and you are ROCKING IT, the truth is, your loss will *probably* not continue at the same pace. Believe me, you most likely will NOT keep losing 5 lbs every 3 days...so update your weight! You will still be within the limits of the DB

It's in the rules under winning, then disqualification. Here is the section I found. This is for the Dietbet 10 rounds. Disqualification. Each round in DietBet 10 has its own disqualification threshold. If you lose more than the maximum allowed weight, you will be disqualified for the remainder of the game. This is to prevent players from going overboard or using bariatric procedures during the game.

Round 1 - 12%
Round 2 - 18%
Round 3 - 24%
Round 4 - 27%
Round 5 - 30%
Round 6 - 30%

Also, you can be disqualified for losing more than 12% in a round. For example, your starting weight is 200 pounds and at the end of Round 1 you were 192 pounds. If you then lost more than 23 pounds in Round 2 (that is, more than 12% of 192 pounds), you would be disqualified.
