Is it the first person to 4% or whoever has lost the most by the end of the game?

Jen C.

Neither! Anyone who looses 4% splits the pot. It doesn't matter who gets there first or who looses the most! So everyone could be a winner! In that case we would all essentially just get our money back but be healthier too! Only the official weigh-in at the beginning and end count. The only reason I weighed in today is that I'm in another DietBet game with friends (they only wanted to do it with people they know) and I had to do an official weigh in there and saw I had lost some weight since my Sunday weigh in here (probably mostly water weight from the increase in water I'm drinking). Good luck Batsirai!

Hi Jen, it does indeed sounds like we're doing a few things in common! I started C10K this morning (made a bit harder as I live on top of a huge hill). Good luck with the challenge and congrats on the upcoming wedding. Where in NZ are you visiting for your honeymoon? :)

Jen C.

Good luck with C10K! I hope to get there at some point. Running on hills isn't fun at the time but it really helps develop power in your legs. For our honeymoon we are actually renting a car and making our way from a resort north of Auckland all the way town to Queenstown. We will hit Auckland, Rotorua, Wellington, Christchurch, and a couple other places in between. This is really a once in a lifetime trip for me so I want to see as much as possible!

Congrats on the wedding! I'm in the same boat: need to fit into the dress for my Sept wedding. Best of luck!

Jen C.

Good luck Jessie! Let's push each other so we can both look gorgeous on our big day without the stress of letting the dress out!

Welcome aboard & good luck! I say visualize yourself fitting into your wedding dress. If you need tips on weight loss, just ask. Perhaps the rest of our group can also help with their strategies.

Jen C.

Visualizing is a great idea! I've actually made pictures of myself from when I was skinny my background on my computer so that I stare at it all day. I also added a couple pictures of my friends in their wedding dresses (cause I can't put mine up there for risk of my fiancé seeing) to help show me how beautiful I can look on my day.
