I love the support of the group and the competition, but suspect I too may gain the weight back later because 4% might be too much too fast for me. I spent the last year adjusting eating habits and exercise to my age (60+). (In other words, wrapping my head around the fact that I am not 40 anymore and shouldn't eat/drink/exercise/yo-yo diet the way I always have!) This is my first dietbet and I'm treating it as a gift: a jump-start to a better weight and good health. I enjoy the social aspect and read dietbetter's posts for new food ideas and sustainable exercises to incorporate for life, not just until the end of the bet. I am so tempted to join another one as soon as this is over because it's fun and I want additional weight loss, but I think my body would appreciate it more if I work to maintain the new weight and new exercise routine until it becomes a more permanent lifestyle. Once I feel I can maintain, I'll be back!
