Well my first Diet Bet is done... I made my goal!
About 3 days ago I intened on writing a blog entitled "Biting off more than I can chew". It was basically giong to state that trying to seriously diet for my first time during the holidays is like playing in major league baseball before playing in the minors or learning to run before you walk or biting off more than you can chew (see what I did there with the clever title?!?!?!? hahahaha)
I still think that it was a little risky trying to diet (for my first serious time) during the holidays. But I made my goal anyway! I do bellieve very strongly that I could have lost more weight if I would have tried a little harder... or if Thanksgiving didnt exist. :-)
This group dieting has helped me out. Seeing other people get closer to their 100% goal is encouraging. I tried a few of the healthy recipes posted on our Facebook group and fully intend to try more! Its nice being held accountable to other people... even strangers!
This groups next bet is in 3 weeks and I fully intend on joining and winning that one!
(In the meantime I may have 'bit off more than i can chew' again because i signed up for a bet that is ending in 16 days. I have less time to lose 4% than everyone else in that group. This DietBet process kept me on track this time around and I dont want to lose that. So I wish my self good luck on this new bet and we will see what happends!)
