I officially hit my January goal for this game and the kickstarter! Traveling the next 2 days so need to resist the travel temptations. I did pack my food for today and tomorrow.

Now I will say I’ve done this game in years past and have watched others be in this position. Feeling like what am I doing wrong. Reflecting on the past. I wasn’t logging and truly measuring my foods. I wasn’t incorporating flavors/tasty foods. Chicken and vegetables can get boring quickly. While I have always worked out. I’m also doing the step bet and moving more throughout my day to get to my step goals.

My go to breakfast this week has been 1/3 cup Kodiak cake mix and 1 egg made as a waffle. I’ve been topping with choc zero’s cookie butter 2 tsp and 1 tbs of their maple syrup.
Then I add some chicken breakfast sausage. It’s so good!

How has everyone’s weight loss been going so far?? For me, I have lost about 1.5 lbs so far. I am trying to track what I eat each day and stay within my calorie range, but I haven’t been 100% with this. Trying to be a little better each day!

Tomorrow is going to be very busy. We have to get ready for a 6 hour in car travel day on Monday. The prize at the end is a hospital stay for an overnight EEG for my daughter. I need to meal prep for the week, do laundry, pack and get some work done.

I was able to walk for 2 hours today and get some work done. Aiming to do that again tomorrow before everyone else in the house is up.

My win today is I did get over 11k steps today starting my day off walking.

How do you get a chance to win prizes?

Ladies , it’s my last day ever to be 38 years old and I just completed 3 sets of 8 pushups. I feel like a freaking beast !
… and this one is for the ladies, yes, because a lot of us fat-bottomed girls grew up being told we couldn’t do pushups.

Hurray!!

Oh no, we got 20 days left and I am over my starting weight. I’m starting to freak out!

I have a little less than a pound to go for my month one goal in this game, but about 2lbs left for the kickstarter.
My affirmation for today is I will continue to stay consistent!

I just joined today but I'm excited for the journey. I gained back 15 lbs of 50 lb weight loss over the holidays 😑 but I am optimistic that this Diet Bet is at the very least getting me back in the right direction. I've had success with DietBet before and hope to lose weigh more than the 15 lbs. I've gained back and lose another 25 lbs on top of that this year. I'm very heavy now so this should be doable with accountability. I am a runner so my goal is to also do my 4-5x/ week 5Ks like I have been doing for the last 15 months. December was hard with the weather, illness and holidays. I'm writing this here to out it out there.

I’ve been in such a slump since end of October, when my activity and efforts all too a nose dive. Started with colder weather and I (unintentionally) hung up my daily 5 mile run, couldn’t keep my hand out of the Halloween candy, rolled straight into prepping non-stop sourdough and starter deserts for the holidays, December is cookies galore. UGH.

DietBet (I hope) to the rescue! My last DietBet was this time last year (see a pattern?) and it was my most successful round yet (I’ve been doing them for several years). I met and surpassed my goal and kept going. I lost 50 lbs total last year… now I’m back up 20 :( it feels harder than ever to get this weight off again.

AND! Like I read from several of you - our family is sick. I’ve been hit hard, which is double hard being a mom of 5. Went to the Dr and tested negative for the whole menu… so I’m stuck throwing a cocktail of over the counter crap at this virus :( I’m really going to try hard to not gain that “bounce back” weight that seems to happen to me after being sick and not eating much for a few days.

I also joined the StepBet… and haven hit my goal yet, but warmup week ends today so I hope to get back at it tomorrow.

Question - does anyone in here do the Conqueror Challenge and medals? I finished Salem in October and I’m looking for a new one to join. Pairing with DietBet and StepBet is always a great time :)
