I'm a 15-pound sausage in a 10-pound casing today in my Friday work shirt. I don't think the shirt shrank either. The struggle is real. Getting back on track!

In college I used to row. In the spring/summer the races were 2K. My coachs broke it down to 3 sections
The first 500M everyone was fresh, amped up, and ready to go.
The last 500M energy is high for so many reasons.
The middle 1K. This is what we trained for. It is the hardest because there isn't the same energy as the start or the finish, you just need to endure. You don't get sloppy you focus every stroke the oar goes in and out clean, you find the rhythm and you pull over and over until you hit that last 500M rush. That's where we are in this game. The middle, the grind, it's staying focused and constant that will carry us to that final sprint.

Ooof I finally faced the music and weighed myself this morning. I'm up 4lbs since last round. But I'm trying not to be hard on myself. I wasn't in the right headspace and was struggling. Thankfully, I think work will ease up from next week and I'll have more energy and less stress
Once upon a time I posted daily here and I found it to be so inspiring, but this game I haven't been participating. It's not new anymore, I've lost these same pounds before and it just isn't thrilling the 3rd of 4th time of the yo yo. It's also not as easy, maybe my metabolism slowed down because I got older, or maybe I lost lean mass and gained back fat making it harder each time. My point is I think I would like to participate more.
HI 👋 I'm Eli. I've been a Vegan for over 5 years. I Have 5 daughters ages 3, 5, 7, 9, and 13. I have high blood pressure, Triglycerides over 500 and I am obese. I want to lose weight for my health. This time around I have been focusing on exercise over diet, but I feel like I am not doing either very well.

Ok, everyone! Two weeks left until our Round 1 weigh-in!
How are you feeling about that?
Many of us start off very strong with some big 2024 New Year goals and awesome motivation... but we all know the hard part is maintaining that momentum!
This is your reminder that perfection is the enemy of progress.
Has anyone found themselves going so gung-ho with making changes that they feel terrible when they slip up? Or, even worse, it can result in a downward spiral?
Slow and steady wins the race, and it's a lot easier to continue in the right direction if you have a little grace and focus on small changes and forward motion each day.
👉 Share if you have felt this or dealt with it in the past!
👉 Also, share what small, manageable changes you're making this time around!

- Non-scale victory - it is small, but I feel like reinforcing the behavior:
We get a lot of free food at work (usually sweets). Today was Chipotle (giant burritos). Think 800 calories. There was a tofu & beans one specially ordered for me! I said thank you and ate HALF.
Hey DietBet Fam! Since there are thousands of new players since we shared this information last - and we've surpassed 3,000 players! - I thought I would again share the 2024 Make the New Year Magic Transformer FAQs with you! It's has everything from information about each weigh-in to the list of bonus prizes! Nearly any questions you may have should be there. If it isn't, and you're still wondering feel free to ask here!
Another thing is that new players can join up until Day 14 - so invite your friends! It's so much fun when we have more support and more conversation and help in this game!
Last, I hope you feel so amazing about being here. You've taken a big step and made a commitment that is going to be a game changer! This game is historically full of a lot of winners who meet their goals, which is amazing!! I hope each and every one of you will meet and exceed any goals you have!
Since we're taking about asking questions and inviting friends for more support, I'd love to know... What kind of support are you looking for?
- —Diet food that doesn’t suck!
Taco Salads, Cauliflower Mac N Cheese & Beef Stew w/ homemade Garlic Bread
- Salad with ginger dressing and side of carrots with non fat Greek yogurt dip. I did add chicken for protein after I took the picture. I’m also tracking my Apple Watch stats in my planner for added accountability!
Edited to add: Not sure why the pic is blurry!
