Thanks for sharing your journey. It is hard to slip up and to get back to where you were, but I have full confidence that you'll get there again! This time, you'll have your head in a good space so that you can maintain. You've got this!

Stumbled across this entry as I was browsing blogs... Are there still Shame Games and Spin & Swim games? Any $10 games at all? Perhaps they are invitation only?

I'm so sorry for the heartache, Thomas! I know it can be devastating -- and for both you and your son's situations!Your story is one that inspired me back in 2015 to lose weight, too, even before I ever started working for DietBet. I have also struggled with keeping the weight off. I'm up 30 pounds of the 100 I lost. It's tough, and it's even harder to find the motivation the second time around.You can do it! You've done it once before! :-)

Very well-written post. Impressive -- father, son, coach and family. Hang tight and help one another heal. You've got this!

Woo Hoo! You've got this! You've done it before so you KNOW it can be done!

Thanks for your thoughts Thomas! Yes, we all must keep at it --- FOR LIFE! Although DietBet Challenges are packaged as a "Game" , the reality of it is that we must all take our winning actions as our NEW LIFESTYLES ... With an emphasis on LIFE; i.e., as in the "rest of". That being said, I have kept most all of my weight off from a previous 10% DB win by using the Maintainer Bets ... IT does work. When I came off the maintainer, I gained half of my lost weight back and am now on another 10% loss bet, BUT WILL JOIN & STAY ON THE MAINTAINER BET AS LONG AS THEY WORK FOR ME. Cheers!

I thought a year ago I would never do this again. Here I am doing it again. Just read your blog and that pretty much echoes my feelings as well. Glad to see you've been on track this year!!! Thanks for sharing.

You are an inspiration Thomas! I met you a couple of years ago doing a dietbet on here. Hope you are doing well. Keep up the good work :)

Getting ready to start this AGAIN!!! My last game ended in August name it, I've eaten it "under a lot of stress"!!! I've found I need a this challenge "DietBet" to keep me motivated. I've done it on my own prior to Dietbet, and kept it off. I'm ready to get it ALL off and keep it off this time around. I Love what you've done, Thank you so much for all your encouragements. God Bless!!

You have inspired me. I started at 300 as well. Time to quit playing around. thanks for the motivation Thomas!

Thomas

That is GREAT Kyle! I've been inspired by many to lose the weight I've carried for years, but it takes more! Not until I started DietBet have I been truly Motivated to Succeed in my weight loss. I find DietBet's Platform of both DB4s and DB10s to be the Motivation I've needed to Succeed at my weight loss. I pray that you will take to heart my strategy on how I use both styles of challenges and Make it WORK for YOU! God Bless and may you find the Motivation you need to Succeed! :^)
