Lose weight the fun way.

Posted on April 8, 2015

Welcome to you and me! It's my first time EVER on DietBet and I already signed up for the Transformer Challenge Apr 15-Oct15! I'm excited, I need motivation because that's what I do for a living, motivate others! I recently started (www.RunOnThis.com) to inspire people to reach the health and fitness goals they've set for themselves. The work of inspiring others sometimes leads to self neglect. All too often, I find myself in need of inspiring information to drag me out my slump and I figured others may need the same thing so that's why I started the blog. There aren't many posts yet, because I've been building and Instagram following for the same purpose (#RunOnThis for you techies).

A little about my journey: I lost 65 lbs from Nov 2012 to May 2013 and managed to keep off most of it, (give or take 5 lbs) but I never reached my final goal of a normal BMI. 20 lbs to go (slightly less, but I'm shooting for 20) and I'll weigh less for GOOD! Running became my obsession to lose the initial weight and I ate much better. Over the past year, along with buying a new home, my eating habits have gone to crap again and thus I'm skinny-fat. Still fitting into smaller clothing but my muscles are 'protected' by a bumper-layer that I need to get off for good! Enter, DietBet!

I plan on posting my journey back to eating better and running more. I'll post what's working and things that bombed to hopefully help you along your journey. Check with me here and on the Run On This family of resources whenever you can. Thanks for reading and I look forward to splitting the DietBet JackPOT with you soon!

DietBet worked for me-I lost 40 pounds and felt fabulous at my daughter's wedding....BUT-once the stress of the wedding was over (it was mostly a DIY wedding with so many details-and I was one in charge of all those details) I began stress eating....I guess to make up for being so good for 14 monthS....I dunno.So, here I am on the verge of having gained almost ALL of the weight back and I joined this Transformer. I hope to wear my MOB dress to a formal wedding in November. This is perfect timing. I also started running about 4 years ago and LOVE how I feel when I do it regularly. I have let that slide so am looking forward to Spring weather so I can get back out there. I will follow your blog-thanks for starting it and GOOD LUCK!!!

Hi Donna, I can SO relate to your re-gaining woes. It's so easy to fall off the routine that worked so well. This is actually the longest I've ever kept this much weight off and I attribute it to protecting (fueling) my mind with all the inspirational stuff I research on the web, magazines and everywhere. It's the main reason I wanted to start my own, I figure, I'll become a better student of the concepts if I teach/share them with others! Thanks for commenting, I'm excited about this experience. I know you'll ROCK that MOB dress in November!

For me personally, writing blog posts regularly helped a lot. I needed that kind of accountability. Good luck. You got this! :)
