    I'll Start:
    I'm Rhonda, an artist in Northern California. I'm close to my weight goal and need to focus on building muscle this month (and the coming months). I've always been muscular, so scrawny shoulders is just weird on me - and not doing my physical well-being any favors😂

  • Hi Artchik and fellow players of this game!

    I’ve just returned to my home in the UK after living in Italy for over ten years. After my almost-18-year-old dog passed away last autumn, and then dealing with problems with our tenants until we finally got our keys back this summer, I had gained a tremendous amount of weight. While restoring our house—which is still ongoing—I decided it was time to return to my daily routine of healthy eating and exercise so I could enjoy my old habits and hobbies again: long outdoor walks with my dogs, allotment gardening, and more music practice (I’m an amature musician).

    I’m now close to my goal weight and within a healthy BMI range. Luckily, I came across the game hosted by Artchik last month. I enjoyed her and fellow player’s posts so much that I decided to join this one too—maybe a little crazy with the festive season just around the corner, but here I am!

    My favourite forms of exercise used to be figure skating and swimming, which I did for many years. These days, I mainly do power walking, Pilates, and Barre workouts. Because I have osteopenia, I also add dumbbell workouts a few times a week. Seeing my mother struggled with rare cancer twice and having friends with health issues, I feel grateful every day that I’m able to move my body, exercise, and enjoy good food.

    Sorry for the long introduction, but I wish everyone the best of luck and a delightful holiday season ahead!

SB-Thanks!

I have a few whys: to feel more comfortable in my clothes, to look better in my clothes, and to be here for my kids... that last one is the most important

Envy

Having our why’s as our focal point usually keeps up dedicated which I like. Yes being here for our kids typically are also a driving point!! Good luck you’re on your way!!!

Well, I went to the doctor today to check up on my cholesterol and now I have an elevated blood pressure! Frustrating! So now I have a new toy- a blood pressure cuff... I'm going to try and bring my blood pressure down with a better diet and some exercise. Honestly, I know that losing weight will really help. If anyone has some delicious, savory, easy, and healthy recipes... I could use some inspiration!

  • This is a recipe I made up that is anti-inflammatory and high protein. It is sooooo good. It takes time because of marinade and slow cooking, but it’s extremely easy and if you don’t get quantities of anything correct, very forgiving.

S B.

Thank you! I love forgiving recipes!

  • Hey guys, I need your help here if you want the Artchick games to continue.

    Occasionally DietBet takes all the member-run games off the "find games" search. Right now my future games can't be found without the links below and we have 0 players. This is pretty disapointing for me because I really like our group and put a lot of effort into running it. If we don't have at least a half dozen players by the end of next week, they will change my start dates. This will force me to cancel games.

    Sooooo, what you can do is please enter December (& January) soon if you're planning to. And maybe email support to get our games back on the board.

    Thanks!!!

    December game is posted!

Thanks!!!
Well, if only that was true. I typed artchick into my own search and was not findable. Now I can be found again, but I think that’s cause our players got grumpy :-)

Plum Barn

I’ve joined the one starting next week!

I've joined this game at the very last minute, but I've missed this group! So I'll work hard, and probably won't meet my goal, but I'll still have a group to help keep me on track. It's nice to be back!
