I won too, but I’m disappointed with the payout. I paid 240 and won 310. So it’s only a 50 dollar profit. If I don’t lose 5.5 pounds by April 25th to meet my 3 month DietBet, I’ll lose that 50 bucks! Geez, that’s gambling for ya, I guess. I better diet hard this month.

I'm just wondering how many of you lovely people have already reached their final goal weight already and are still losing or just maintaining? I'm already about 10 lbs under my goal weight (Yay), but I'm just curious as to how many people are in the same boat?

Recent pic and down 35 lbs. Hope you guys all reach your goals and keep eating healthy!

I’m under goal weight and continuing to lose. I joined another 6 month transformation on 1/1/24 so that has lower goals than this one did due to already losing at first weigh in

I can’t keep up with taking things in! I take in a pair of pants to fit perfectly but then by the time I wear them again they’re too big! I know, it’s a nice problem to have but I don’t think I’ve ever done so many alterations in my life! As soon as I fit in the next smallest size, I’m buying some new spring clothes. Enough of this. And two sizes down is hard to alter properly too.

I love having this kind of Luxury- problem! I've been altering several clothes but I like shopping too. What a luck, we can make shopping- money by losing weight. That's a perfect combination :thumbsup:

Yep, I’ve decided I’m using my winnings to buy new clothes. I’ve been online window shopping a lot lately. I seem to have taste that is more expensive than I can afford though, lol. Maybe I can get some sale items from the expensive places. I’m going to go in person before Easter and get a nice outfit for that.
There is no way I’m gaining this weight back. I’m working on building strength and endurance so I can get lots of exercise for maintenance and I’m joining maintainer bets too. It’s either that or suffer all the health consequences of obesity.

I highly recommend NOT timing a vacation for when your round 5 weigh in is due, and especially not right before that time of the month. I made it but not without the stress of will I/wont I.
I got my weigh in today at the start of our allotted time because I can feel the bloating coming, and have 2 dinner catch ups planned early in the week. Timing is not on my side so I weighed in before those hit 😂
How’s everyone else doing? Excited to continue on this losing streak to the finish line with you!

Mary, that's such a good tip, thank you! I was actually able to make my weight this morning, I just had to take the dog on a long walk and skip breakfast. Definitely not cutting it that close next time!

Yourmomma I’ve also been known to weigh myself in just my underwear then get dressed for the full body photo lol. Every little bit helps.

one of my old sweaters is definitely hanging VERY loose 😀

That’s great! I’m very busy these days taking clothes in and digging out old clothes that fit again. I don’t want to buy anything new yet because I’m still losing and want to drop another size first. It’s a nice problem to have, constantly having to try your clothes on and take things in!

You can take that sweater in. Just sew up the sides however much you need to then taper the sew line down the arms. I do that if a sweater or shirt is still pretty new and I still really like it.

3 more weeks in this round...how's everyone doing? I've gained a pound since last week, but I think it's just water/food weight. I've pretty much maxed out my diet/exercise/calorie deficit strategies, at least for me, I hate being tired or hungry, so I'm not pushing things too far. So now I have to just patiently wait for the rest of of the weight to fall off, which I hate, because I'm not patient. Anyone have any good diet book/website recommendations? Sometimes those help me to stay focused/distracted while I'm waiting for things to happen.

I've tried not eating anything after dinner and definitely noticed a difference, but I get so hungry that sometimes it interferes with my sleep. So now I do a small snack, but I'm really trying to eat it earlier and earlier to where it's closer to right after dinner. It is a game changer it's just so hard! Maybe I'll just start with one or two nights a week, I can probably do that without feeling like I'm starving, lol :grinning:.

Yeah I have to eat at least a few hours before bed or I can’t sleep. I know it’s not good, but neither is not sleeping!

Squeezed that one in by the skin of my teeth 😬. 0.1 pound under 😅😅😅😅. I’ll have to double down this month! I’ve come so far I don’t want to fall down before the finish line 💪💪💪

What Sarah and Yourmomma said.

Been there! One month I had to do my weight in my underwear then put on pants for my full body pic

Well, it happened. I'm losing my motivation! I've been exercising hard and eating healthy, but I've been eating too much. Before Christmas I had lost enough weight to win this round too, so I totally overdid it with the cookies and I'm back on track, but still a couple of pounds over where I need to be for next week. I think I can still make the weigh-in next week, but it's going to be tough. How are you all doing, still feeling motivated?

I’m totally with you!! I lost extra weight last round and put enough back on I’ve got 2 lbs to lose by the 25th…. We can do this!!!

Same here Sara, I've got 2 lbs to go. It's going to be tough, but we can do it!

It’s getting harder and harder to stay motivated… I’ve been very proud of my progress so far but so much deprivation - especially before Christmas - is getting harder and harder to take! I just went nuts all week and am up 5 lbs

Some of it is water too. Get back on track and you will fall a few pounds quickly. Gaining is normal. Keeping it off is an amazing feat of perseverance. That’s my thinking. I don’t beat myself up for putting weight on.

That’s a good way to look at it!
