Just finished a diet bet (squeaked thru by the skin of my teeth) and I wanted to take a vacation from dieting for a while. However, my previous “diet vacations” have turned into regaining the weight. I know my ADD brain does better with guardrails and a clear goal, so here I am joining a new challenge. Our target this time around—2% per month—seems pretty sane to me. We could all win this time!!

Final chance to weigh in today, and I finally made my weight! Whew!
It took two days of water fasting, and an extra 11,000 step walk but I hit the target. I was pleasantly surprised at not getting very hungry while fasting. Maybe because I had a glass of Metamucil twice a day.
Now I think I’ll concentrate on maintenance until this weight is the new normal. I’ll keep going with the Stepbets because that is “normal” now for me.

We have just over a week left to go. I’ve been losing, but not quite as fast as our 4% target. I might still make it, but even if I don’t I’ll consider it a win because I just got down below 160 for the first time in well over 20 years. It feels GOOD. I hope this last week brings you good results, too!

I am in the same boat Amy. Not quite sure if I will make goal but very happy with my progress. We got this!!

Well done, what an achievement!

As for myself, I tracked my food religiously, 90% accuracy with a kitchen scale, tracked water, exercise. I am on a good track, but not easy. Probably I will just hit the target. 4% is quite a lot, not because it is so much in absolute value, but the body doesn't always lose weight, although I am getting lean.

It’s crunch time for this diet bet. Good motivation for giving up all beer or wine, and this week going with protein drinks as some meal replacements. What surprised me was that they really satisfied my hunger. But it was hard last night watching my housemate eat the Crispy Rice and Shrimp leftovers 😢
Fingers crossed we all get good results today!
