Hi, I’m Mel. I live in North Carolina. I’ve been on a weight loss quest for far too long, and I’ve made little progress. I’m down 25 pounds though, so it’s a start. My goal is to lose another 130 pounds, and I’d love to lose 60 of that by the end of this year. I know I can do it (physically) but mentally will be the bigger challenge. What I need most is consistency and accountability, which DietBet does a decent job of providing. I’ve noticed that even though I’ve won plenty of $ on DietBet (I’ve been on here since 2016), I’ve managed to GAIN 19% of my body weight from when I first started. I’m currently in 4 bets. I feel like it helps me break my goal into reasonable chunks.

Wow, so many people joining today! We’ve only got 37 in the previous 3 month bet. Is anyone else besides Erin and me coming from other Diet Bets? How much have you lost so far?

I completed a Flex Kickstarter along with a "lose 3% in 4 weeks" DB around Thanksgiving and Christmas time. I lost 7.2 lbs during those. But a week after it ended, I had gained all the weight back.

I play multiple games as well. My weight has been fluctuating, so I'm unsure of my actual loss recently. Probably around 7 pounds. I definitely gained at the end of the holiday season. :joy:

If they still have the side salad with no dressing or a light dressing then that. Or the apple slices. Maybe a burger without a bun? But most everything there is pretty calorically dense:sweat_smile:

Water? I used to be McDonald's number 1 fan. I worked there years ago. I remember thinking there is nothing healthy at McDonald's. Why are people bringing their kids here? Fast forward, I have 3 kids of my own, and we were at the golden arches multiple times a week. There was one day, maybe more, that we had breakfast, lunch, and dinner at McDonald's. It is an addiction, and that was rock bottom for me. I haven't been to back to McDonald's in almost 6 years, neither has my wife or kids. And I'm proud to say I have a 3 year old and a 5 year old who have never been.
