The pot is now $1,800

After missing every single previous goal (other than qualifying for the last round), I made it! Clocked in a pound under my goal weight this morning… I worked hard for this and congratulations to everyone whether you made the final goal or not - if you’ve made progress, you are still a winner in my book! ✨🏆

I still haven’t been given the option to weigh in but i’ve qualified. What should I do?

Just wanted to share some thoughts for anyone who fell short this round. I HAVE NOT HIT A SINGLE WEIGHT LOSS GOAL IN THE CHALLENGE! Today, I missed the Round 4 goal by one freaking pound and it was frustrating, but...

I am over 20lbs down! I've lost a total of 13 inches and, most importantly, I have stayed consistent and focused on my diet and exercise goals, my back pain is better, I feel better about myself, I want sledding with my kids and didn't have to sit on the sideline and watch!

Sure it would have been great to win the round, but I am winning because I am transforming into a better version of myself. The name of the game is progress. As long as you stay committed and continue to move forward, count that as a win. I'm going to count this loss as a win and I'm looking forward to crushing it and actually hitting the goal the last two rounds.

No, I didn’t make my goal weigh this round, either - so that’s 3/3. BUT I’m 59% of the way to my overall six-month goal, and we’re half-way through this challenge, so I’m considering this a WIN! 🏆👍💪👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Doing so dismally bad. Why, oh why did I do another diet bet during this hard season! I keep losing and gaining and losing again, but never where I need to be. I found a picture from a year ago and almost 30 lbs less than I weigh now. That's where I want to go back to. I exercise vigorously 6 days a week. I don't eat sugar. I avoid gluten. I intermitent fast. What's left? I guess I need to move to super small portions of low fat foods. Very discouraging.

Any Echelon Riders in this group? If so, add me :) @Revenge Body

I completely lost sight of my weight loss goals this month but at least I had fun with my kids... Going to try to reboot and see what I can accomplish for these next 4 months...

Also, I just decided to take my measurements for the first time in years as another way to track my progress and nearly had a panic attack at some of the numbers. I had to keep repeating to myself: "this is just a number. It's just more information. I am the same person I was before I got out this tape measure. I'm okay. It's just information... It's just information". Hopefully when I take out the tape measure again in 2 weeks I'll be celebrating instead of talking myself down 😅

For those of you in the same boat as I am (bad diet in the past week has put this month’s goal weight out of reach) - do not throw all your hard work this past month away. You still have 4 days to do better.
Even if I can’t reach my goal, I’m going to try to get as close as I can to give me a better chance of getting my goal for next month!
I have a wedding today and other holiday festivities so I will partake a bit but not over eat or over drink. Exercise will definitely be increased. Past New Year’s Day has always been “ugh, I need to lose weight.” This year will be “ooh, I lost some weight. Let’s keep it going!”
Good luck y’all and a happy healthy new year to everyone!

Didn’t quite make my first goal (which I thought would be pretty easy - ha!). I guess I forgot how much I love eating ALLLL the Thanksgiving food for days - but am moving on and feeling motivated to kill it in round #2!
