Haven't seen you around on the new game. Just wondering how you are doing. Hope all is well for you and you are feeling good. All the best to you!

Well, I think I'm going to do the next one. We've only had yesterday and today since our weigh in and I still have done all my miles and drank my water (more than half way done with todays and it's not even noon) and I am confident that I really could do hit my May and December goals on my own. Especially with how great I'm feeling and that I went into the closet yesterday and pulled some clothes down that I haven't worn in years and they fit! So I just want to keep it going. But I liked the accountability I had with the game and what I'm really excited about it hitting my May goal at the end of the next DietBet. A whole month early. So that is what I have my sights set on now. Win or lose this next one, it's another step in the right direction. Hope to see you there!

Enjoyed looking at your profile. 11 years ago, I lost 60 pounds and over the last years have gained some and lost some, but have never returned to that old weight again, which I'm proud of. Before starting this I was 17 pounds above my lowest weight. My third child is now almost 8 months old, and we have a vacation coming up in May. I really want to get to that lowest weight by then and then lose another 15 pounds by the end of the year. I started working out again about 3 times a week at the beginning of this year, but this DietBet has really pushed me and I've been walking every day since it started. All the best to you and you I know you can reach your goal! Hoping 30 will be a great year for you! You've got this!!!

Thank so much for your fantastic words of encouragement, Faith! You can be very proud of not returning to your old weight. I haven't either, and it's the not wanting to that drives me! As of now, I have just under 30lbs to lose to hit my goal weight, which is 11lbs less than my lowest. I know it might be a tad ambitious, but I want to do this by the beginning of August, and it's stories like yours that inspire me to keep trying! I don't know about you, but knowing how far we've come, I want to lose the weight once and for all, and put an end to this up and down journey we've been on for the last couple of years! I may not know you, but I know exactly where you're coming from, and I mean it from the bottom of my heart when I say that you CAN do this, and you WILL do this!!

I got the chance to look through your pictures and I must say you've inspired me. I pretty much am starting where you were in 2008 and it helps to know that someone can do this. We're going to do awesome with this!

When I was starting, The Biggest Loser was quite popular in South Africa, and seeing all those people do it motivated me! You have made me feel so humble with your kind words, Gabriela. And yes, we are going to be awesome at this!
