I can’t find the post that shows the winners of last weeks weekly prizes. In fact, I can’t find any posts that show winners of any of the weeks. Are these weekly prizes for real or did I waste $30 dollars?

Also, this transformer is really popular with over 5x the participants I've ever seen in any of the other games I've played, so it'll probably be easier for posts to be lost among all the other posts.

I've won two prizes in previous games, they're definitely real :)

If I miss my goal for round 1, am I eliminated from the whole game?

Nope, you just have to lose 6% by the end of month 5 in order to be eligible for the final month.

Courtney P.

I forget where I was reading it. There’s actually a maximum amount of weight you can lose between rounds and not a minimum. The only round they will consider you not a “winner“ is the fifth and sixth round I believe. Which is helpful too because if people are losing too fast then they see that as suspicious. It’s very common not to lose your goal weight in the first round. I see the first round as my figuring it out round.

This will be the first transformer I've done where I possibly won't be making the 6% requirement for month 5 (but I'm still trying!) and I most definitely won't make the 10% overall goal. 😔

I'm still making progress towards a healthier me and I've lost about 4% overall in the last six months. I started doing Diet Bet in Nov2023 at 250lbs and I've lost about 60lbs since then, so I refuse to be disappointed in myself or my body! 👍

I've joined the Aloha Transformer for a final push and I'm making good progress towards the first months goal. If all goes well, in 6 months I'll be at a "healthy" BMI, planning my first cruise, and hopefully be done with intense dieting for a while. 💪 Wish me luck!!

I have 2lbs to go to reach the 6% so I’m with you and working hard to get there. Then getting another 4% off for the final round will be a huge challenge (but I’m going to give it my all). I also joined the aloha transformer.

Good luck to you! I’m crossing everything that I have for us to get there.

  • 🌺 Happy Monday, Aloha Transformer Crew! 🌺

    The energy in this game is incredible! I hope you're off to a solid start. If you haven't already, now is the perfect time to set yourself up for success.

    ✨ A Simple Formula:
    Set Your Goals > Make a Plan > Do the Work > Crush Your Goals

    Take a few minutes today to choose one or two personal goals and write down a simple plan for the week. Writing it out (even in your notes app!) makes follow-through much more likely.

    💡 Keep it simple:
    Plan meals or snacks
    Schedule workouts
    Set a daily water or movement goal

    💬 Let’s talk:
    What’s one goal you’re focusing on this week and how do you plan to make it happen?

    We’re cheering you on every step of the way.

Drink more water!

I'm staying away from all processed foods by planning my meals ahead of time. Another goal is 30 minutes of exercise each morning, making that work by planning out my day. Seems easier when you have things planned.

I didn’t win this round either. Congratulations to those who have been consistently dropping pounds and winning rounds! Looks like there are many of us struggling to get rid of the weight so at least I know I’m not alone.

I’m not giving up. I doubt I will win round 5 but I plan on being at least to the 6% so I can still compete in the final round to try and win some of my money back (the only round I won was the first one). And I’m determined to 2026 will be the year I get down to a healthy weight!

I'm also struggling to get the scale to go down (and the holidays definitely haven't helped!)

Here's to hoping that we can both make some good progress over the next two months!

Jessica B.

We are going to make the 6%.

We've got this! Has everyone got their plan for unhealthy holiday offerings and toxic/enabling family gatherings?

Moderation is my key along with movement.

Laurie K.

Small portions of most things and filling up the plate with mostly veggies. Starting hydrated also helps!

Mostly though, I'm keeping in mind that it's just one day and it doesn't undo the months of hard work I've put in to get where I am and that's a wonderful thing! (Ok, it's actually more of a whole weekend, but still!)

Well I am not winning this round. Lots of stress this month and I lost my motivation/will power

I'm definitely not as motivated as I once was either! I've looked at the math of where I am and where I want to be, and I've mentally reset my personal goals.

Sure, I could aim to be on track to lose the full 9% for next round, but instead I've mentally set my goal to just 6.5%. I'll win less money, but I plan on still making progress towards my final goal of a healthier weight and body.

Mary S.

You’re not alone. My body decided this game was the perfect time to throw in cortisol spikes and hormone imbalances that come with peri menopause. I lost zero lbs this round.
The great news is we all still have time to catch up. You’ve got this!

Massive non scale win for me tonight!

I like to sew and I also am tall, so I buy sewing patterns and some clothes online (gotta get those tall sizes) which means that it's very handy for me to track my dimensions every once in a while. I measured myself tonight and compared to my measurements from before I started using Diet Bet in November 2023 (60 lbs ago) and I've lost an average of over 3"!!!

Over bust 39 to 38 (-1)
Full bust 43 to 40 (-3)
Under bust 37 to 33 (-4)
Waist ribs 36 to 34 (-2)
Waist bellybutton 45 to 39 (-6!!)
Hips full butt 48 to 45 (-3)

I highly recommend checking your progress with your dimensions and not just the number on the scale.

  • Skinny chicken Alfredo spaghetti squash. I can have about 1 1/2 cups plus we have 2-3 servings of steamed veggies on the side. My sweetie really likes it, he is fit and walks several miles a day so I make sure he eats double.
