  • Not going to make my goal on this one. Very disappointing after winning all three of my games last month. But my Little Bear got very sick very quickly with her CHF and yesterday we helped her cross the rainbow bridge so she could breathe easily and be pain free. I’m very much an emotional eater. And losing my baby of 14 and a half years and dealing with the emotions all last week of getting it set up so she could pass at home has definitely thrown me off my healthy eating path. Congratulations to all of you who make it in advance. I shall start again soon.

So sorry for your loss! I have to remind myself that filling myself with food doesn’t erase that emptiness.
Comfort to you at this difficult time.

Mindy S.

I’m so sorry. Heartbreaking.

I know I’m guilty here, but one thing I’ve noticed is that when I get involved in the social aspect of the game, I do way better. From here on out I’m going to try to post and encourage you all every day. I hope you’ll all join me in creating a temporary community with more social interactivity in our game. After all, we can accomplish much more if we’re in this together!

The day after I joined I was in a meeting where I had to lean forward and look left for two hours. The next day my lower back seized! It took the first week before I could get back to the gym. Getting older (60) is stupid. But I’m back on track and 62% done with two weeks to go. I think I can do this!

I love peanut butter and banana sandwiches, but they kill my diet every time! This looks delicious!

Mindy S.

that looks yummy but way too many carbs for me!

I have sweet tooth, I have found protein hot chocolate has been able to curb some cravings. Hope today is better for you :hibiscus:

If you really want to lose weight and commercials on tv is a trigger you may want to read a book or do something else. Or, I don’t know what you have available, but can you access television or movies without ads? We like to watch dvd’s.

Hey everyone it’s Bart from Idaho. After slowly gaining for the last 6 years I finally decided it’s time to get back to a healthy weight. I have a goal to loose 40 lbs this year. I started this week with focusing on eating. I am tracking my calories and cutting out sweets. I am also focusing on drinking 1 gallon a day. I will try to make it to the gym a couple this week, but starting next week I plan on going 5 times a week. The last part of my goal is to get in better sleeping habits(7-8 hours a night).

What are you all doing as far as goals for this game?

My goal for this game is #20.
This year, to lose 90 lbs.
I’m working on smaller goals: this week I wanted to hit 45 minutes working out, and surpassed that.
This next week I’m looking to hit 70 minutes of working out and 2 miles of walking.
I’m also working to stay within my calorie budget.
I’ve got a trip to the DR coming up in late April and want to lose 40 lbs by then, so trying to hit it hard, but make sustainable changes.
Let’s go! :raised_hands:

Mindy S.

Sounds like you have a great plan.

Hi everyone.
Last night around midnight I ordered a full icecream cake and ate all of it. I’ve been late night binging for months now and I don’t know how to stop. A couple people posted on my last post - thank you for that. I’m only writing again just because I’m looking for a magic pill to stop but maybe there isn’t? The idea of resisting my urge just before bed just seems like a ‘fact’ that I can’t. No other option. Anyway, thanks for listening.

You are not a failure. With the right help you can overcome this. If this is becoming more common it’s moving into habit/addiction mode. Find truth and speak it into yourself. Run away from temptation. Your worth is not found in food choices or body size.

AllanInCleveland

It sounds like you didn’t have the food there and had to order it, so that’s good because it means you have cleaned your environment of unhealthy foods. If you haven’t, start there. Dump the ice cream etc from your home. Make it harder to slip up.
If you live with someone, have them keep your credit cards after dinner so you can’t buy more food. If you’re on your own, maybe go out after dinner and put your credit cards in your car glove compartment so you have an extra step before ordering, especially if it’s cold out. Lock your car!
Start with better self-talk during the day: “I can resist bingeing.”. Keep telling yourself that truth: I can resist bingeing. Bad self-talk can sabotage you. You do have the strength for this.
Find a friend you can call when you feel the urge coming on to binge. I’d say check in here, but feedback time is probably too slow.
Remind yourself that you will be able to eat whatever you’re craving occasionally as you aren’t taking holy vows not to ever again, but just not tonight. One night isn’t too overwhelming.
Don’t accept the “I’ll start being better tomorrow” or “I’ll make up for it tomorrow” excuses. Now is the only time you know you can control, so choose to do it now. DietBet is great for that: you have limited tomorrows or you lose money.
You’ve got this! You can do it!

Welcome All and best wishes on this challenge!!!

I’m in full fledge diabetic range and now on medication. I have a dream of losing 15-20 pounds and totally getting off the meds.
I went all of last year without even ONE sweet treat (ice cream, cookies, cake, pies, etc). Super proud of myself!!! But of course substituted my sugar cravings for breads and other carbs and basically stayed same weight and no blood sugar improvement. After going on a three day sweet eating binge I am ready to tackle this.

Good luck with this game and with finding fun and healthy sugar-substitutions! I’m a type 2 that used to be on Metformin and it’s a daily challenge to not give into temptation in an effort to keep that A1C down. You can do it!!

Motivated2Lose

Thank you Mindy and Lynette for the words of encouragement. It is really awesome to see that you've both had success by sticking to a plan. Yes, Metformin is what I'm currently on and I am convinced it contributes to me feeling exhausted. I want off of it! We can do this together.
