Question: if I am going to be out of town on the 1st and 2nd, how should I do weigh in? Should I just buy a cheap scale at Target or something? Anyone have advice? Thanks!

Does anyone do OMAD? Does that work for you..? Before I have done the 3 meals and 2 snacks a day, but I can never get in all the food I’m supposed to eat when I go off that formula.. I’m curious how much OMAD works for people as I can usually fast for awhile anyways. Thanks!

0.2kg left. Which is:
A) Great! I'm clearly doing well. :)
and
B) A disaster, because now I can tooootally slack off over the weekend, there's plenty of time!
Nope! Not this time!

- Took my son out of school and went to Arkansas to see the eclipse.
It was a perfect day!
Fyi- the aluminum foil hats were just us having fun.
Good morning I hope everyone is doing well and has made their goals. Now I’m going to go and wake up my wife to tell her she has to get up early so she can help change a flat tire or she will be late for work. 😂 Aprils Fools

I just did my progress weigh-in, and, if it's accepted, I should be able to reuse it for the official weigh-in Monday morning. If so, I made it. Barely. Like I said before, it's been a rough month, and any loss was probably due to anxiety and stress more than diet and exercise.
I've got two more pounds to go. It's tempting to increase my deficit and try and get it over with quickly, but that won't support my exercise goals, so I'm still aiming for just a 100-calorie deficit daily.
ETA: I had lunch with some family visiting from out of the country yesterday. Last time I saw them, one asked, "Have you gained weight?" I had. This time, she asked, "Have you been losing weight?"
It's always a little jarring when that side of the family starts with comments on everyone's weight (it's a cultural thing), but at least this time it was confirmation of a job well done. No one else is likely to say anything, even if they notice (which they might not -- it's only a dramatic change to me, I think).

- After much thought and contemplation, I decided to shave my beard.
Needless to say, my family was shocked. I almost forgot what I looked like underneath all that hair.
I now need to find a new online username I guess.
- Just thought I would share something that I’ve been thinking about lately.
When I started this DietBet I thought it would try something different. When it comes to losing weight I have often felt it was a struggle, I would have really intense cravings and poor self control and struggled feeling full. This time my cravings are easier and at the end of the day I feel full and content. The major thing I changed? I stopped meal prepping. I know it works for a lot of people but I often turn to ordering in because the food in my fridge doesn’t excite or tempt me after a day or two. But a freshly cooked dinner and getting to play around and experiment in the kitchen while choosing to focus on healthy but non restrictive dinners has been life changing. I’ve cooked a fresh dinner almost every day! I’ve also stopped being afraid of carbs!
In a way it feels like I’m only on a diet when I’m at work where I still do full meal replacements breakfast and lunch. When I get home I eat what i’m carving that day, and that flexibility and ability to give in to my food craving has been amazing. Today all I wanted was Thai cashew chicken, after work I dropped by a local Asian food market to get a couple of things I was missing and made it happen! Currently feeling very satisfied and full!
This morning I’m down 15 kg (33 lbs) since January!

I wanted to say how happy I am to make goal and then some for the month of February. I know Feb. is always a hard month to stick with a Dietbet I’ve lost a few for sure. That said I was so proud of myself for being under almost 5 lbs from my goal weight for Feb. and also on a 2 week vacation to Florida. Good luck to everyone for the month of March you can do this just don’t give up.
- I reached a milestone today! This was 6 weeks. Started Jan 8 at 240.2lbs. 🙌
