Yea! I am ecstatic. I HAVE LOST OVER 9 LBS IN ABOUT 6 DAYS (surely water weight as well). Anyhow, I am really happy because I have met my DietBet goal and won the 3 challenges I am in. Now, I am going to continue to try to lose weight until I reach my end goal of 142.5 lbs by February 2015. I am not sure if I'll try to do another DietBet. I am scared it will be too hard to lose 4% in 28 days as my weight gets lower. I still have about 3 weeks left before the DietBet challenges I am in now end. I will hopefully lose at least 6 more pounds before then.
I am so amazed by my progress this past week. It is truly amazing because I have been trying to lose weight all summer. I have been losing a lot more slowly. Betting money has really motivated me to not cheat myself. Recently, I finished planning my move to Spain and school endeavors, which alleviated a lot of stress. I also realized that some of the seasonings I use have sodium in them. I've been more conscious about my sodium intake. I have also exercised less (I was doing a lot of 2 a days) and slept more. Those may be other reasons I suddenly lost so much weight. Good luck to everyone else in the challenges with me. I'm still rooting for ya! :)
