Hi Sharen, congratulations on losing 7.4 pounds! That's wonderful! You're going the right direction and that's what matters! Don't give up, I hope to continue this journey with you on another DietBet. I think I might join the Transformer one and the Bruce Pitcher one. Would still like to be friends on Fitbit so we can continue encouraging each other even if we're not on DietBet. Here's the link if you want to: www.fitbit.com/user/22YZYG

Good job with all your exercise and your positive attitude, even if you don't make your goal. Really it is how we feel that matters, not a number on the scale. I hope you consider the 6 Month Bet to keep you focused. The next Transformers starts on Aug 26th. I am planning on joining soon. You need to lose 3 % the first two months and then the target goes down after that so it isn't such pressure. I think it will help me keep focused through the challenges of Thanksgiving, Halloween and Christmas. I also have a lot of family birthdays coming up including my own.

We're half way there. Let's finish this thing strong! :D

Hi Sharen. You continue to do so well on your exercises. I am trying to get my 10,000 steps in daily. this is at least double my norm. I have averaged about 7,000 this week so I am on my way. Next week I hope to add some true exercise as well. Baby steps.

Hope your still doing well. You can do it!

Yeah cheese is a biggie I have been doing pretty good with that now but it took awhile! My thing is processed foods I love crackers and of course sweets! Real struggle for me! I also work really hard on remembering to drink water all day! I can tell when I do not get enough in during the day!

Hope your first few days went well. I see you are a vegetarian. My daughter is vegetarian, my son is vegan and I am mainly meatless now. I am discovering so many new foods. Just wish I could give up my cheese. It is a weakness for me.

Have a great day.

p.s. What would you like me to call you?
