Training for my first/only marathon after a setback last year (bursitis). And because my awesome husband is too good of a cook! (I've gained 20+lbs in a year and a half)

I haven't gained! But I've only lost 23% of my goal.

  • 10lbs lighter from my last 5k in July. I was able to run this time a 5k under 32minutes which it was my goal. ☺😊

Strong work! I have my first 5k in a year in two weeks! (With my marathon runner husband)

Holly W.

So exciting. I just signed up for my first 5k and it is this weekend. I will probably walk most of it but I have to start somewhere. I can't wait until I can run the whole thing.

  • Yesterday was day 12 of 30. And I'll run again this morning when my husband brings our toddler to Costco.
    The scale hasn't budged though, so unless i get a major whoosh, I don't see a win for this bet. 😞 I do feel a difference in my body, though.

I can relate to this too! Truly hoping the big woosh is coming... for both of us. Just yesterday I started adding 30 mins to my workout. Fingers crossed!

Good luck to you, too @KelJol!

  • Day 9 of 30 running every day in September. Slow day today because it's our monthiversary and we grabbed dinner at a Middle Eastern place. I limited myself to half of my falafel pita and one dolma. And a little karkady because they gave our toddler a free sample of everything.

  • Day 5 of 30 of running at least a mile every day in September.
    I also had to run at 10:30 last night because we drove home from the in-laws'.
    Feeling changes in my body even if the scale isn't showing it yet.

I saw your first post and I made myself join a step bet to help with my accountability. And it is helping! Thank you for your motivation!

Some mornings (like today) I expect the scale to show a lower number, but sadly it doesn’t 😥. I keep reminding myself that it is trending downwards overall, and that’s all that matters. Stay strong everyone 👍

I keep gaining and loosing the same 5 pounds. ?‍♀️?‍♀️

Same. This is very frustrating when you’re doing what you can and still not seeing a difference. People say get rid of the scale. That is what I’m gonna do. Waiting for a number to drop is so exhausting. Makes me wanna just give up

Finished day 3, at least a mile every day in September. Had to do early morning because we're driving to the in-laws right after work tonight.

10 years ago, when I was in much better shape, I ran a mile or more every day in September, so I'm aiming for that again starting tomorrow.

  • Training for a 5k at the end of September.
    Last night while my husband took our toddler on errands, I hit the treadmill for some intervals to work my way back to steady state running.
    My treat for treadmill running (because I can't maintain a pace to save my life) is to pick a show that I can only watch while working out.
    Currently watching Grantchester.

  • 8 two minute intervals plus a couple bursts at the end!

OMG~ you go girl :hearts:. Love the idea of treating yourself to a show while doing this. That would be the extra incentive that would motivate me. Thanks for this reminder

What if I lose the 4% early? Do I drop out or submit a new weight?

You want to make sure to do your weigh in at the end of this Kickstarter at the listed timeframe. Even if you lose more than 4%. That's the way to win this DietBet.

DietBet Audrey R

As the others have said, you are able to lose more than 4% of your initial weight. However, you can’t lose 12% or more or you will be disqualified.
