I actually made it. It was a super interesting experience, but will still be my last Kickstarter bet. I didn't enjoy the pressure and can recommend the transformation bet for everybody, who needs to lose a lot of weight. I just feel like going at 3% a month as my goal works better for me pressure-wise :) If it's more that's great, but it just doesn't have to be.

Does anyone have a good plan for avoiding Halloween candy? Halloween has always been the start of my weight gaining season. I signed up for this game just because I knew it would keep me focused through this time of the year.

Sometimes I get frustrated because I'm losing weight but I still have a big belly. It helps to focus on the areas where I'm visibly getting thinner - for me that's my face and neck and my muffin top. By the end of this round I might even have visible clavicles.
Are there any surprising areas where you all are seeing your weight loss?

Anyone else gain weight when going to the gym? I’m sure it’s just muscle but it’s always a let down 😅
Swapped my weights and cardio so I do the cardio last now, but hopefully I start going down instead of up 😳😬

Last night I had a dream that I was at a big backyard barbecue, I got a giant plate of food and set it down to go get myself I drink. When I came back to the table everyone was done eating and they had cleared the table and thrown away my plate.
Even though it was a dream, the pain felt real. My takeaway from this - don't go to bed hungry.

Submitted my weigh in it made goal. Was in another dietbet used that weigh in but it hasn't been approved. I was at 100% before it moved to round 2. Does this sound right. Submitted weigh in 1st day

Hello to the 522 of you.
Are you looking forward to the weigh-in tomorrow? I always get excited about the weigh-ins... they are both dreaded and welcome. It is a bit like a test at school ... no, I am lying, I was never looking forward to tests and I know how my students really feel about them now. Anyway, good luck to everybody.

In the midst of a covid exposure scare (fingers crossed for the test results tomorrow… stay strong vaccine!) which has thrown a wrench in my weekend. Stayed at home today and got some stuff done around the house. I am on day 3 of eating plant based. I did about 80% from Jan until March but then my living situation went nuts (unexpected move back to my dads and then bought our first house). Finally feeling a little more settled and remembering how good I felt eating less meat and dairy earlier this year. So, back at it!

Anyone else love podcasts? I found this one really motivating…
