I'm half a pound over, which is pretty good considering I stopped tracking in January. I doubt I'll lose any weight during the day (I AM going to eat, but I also have a hike planned tgat could result in some water loss), but I'll check again tonight just in case. I made most of my money back in the earlier rounds, and it's worth what I haven't gotten back to be the size I am now and maintain it with little effort. I'll be good either way.

Are there no more 12-month maintainers? All I see are member-only 8-week ones, and I have no interest in being a member or doing a short-term bet.

I need to get myself back on track, I'm almost at a point where I need to lose 0.1 kg every day (FYI 0.22 pounds) which is...not good, it's horrible. I want to win this, I want this to be my only dietbet ever, because I met every goal and through that became happy with my body

I am happy with the way my body looks now, and maybe that's the problem, my body's look was what I used to keep myself motivated, and I don't have that motivation anymore...

Why do I always celebrate/reward with FOOD? Made my round 5 goal then splurged for 2 days and am up a pound. Need to get sugar out of my life again. Holidays opened the door to it and it’s been really tough weaning myself of it.

I experienced some technical difficulty, but here's how I was able to get past it (in case you experienced the same):

Every time I tried to take and submit the first picture, the app crashed. I was able to submit only if I took the photos with my camera app separately and THEN attached them. I've never had this problem before.

Well I’ve really done it this time. I had made weight all previous rounds so was really on track and feeling good. I kinda knew I wouldn’t make it this round because of the holidays. But, after two weeks of major holiday binging and a family vacation that just ended, I almost disqualified myself! Just submitted my weigh in at the 6% mark exactly. I’m mad for letting myself backslide so far, but I also know some of this is just bloat weight and bad weigh in timing. Ready to get back on the bandwagon this week and still going for the ultimate goal!

Going on vacation right before a weigh-in is not a good idea. 😬 Maybe all the water retention will pass by Monday?

This week of gluttony has been very fun, but now it must come to an end. Hope we all make it this month!

Hmmm...I think my scale is officially dead. It says I'm 50lbs today.

Throughout this weight loss process, the ONLY thing I've denied myself is Korean barbecue at a restaurant because I have no self control in its all-you-can-eat presence. I estimate I eat at least 2,500 calories every time I go (which was probably once every couple months), more if I drink something other than water.

I told my husband that once I hit my goal, we'd go. It's been six months since I instituted the ban, and today it's lifted. I've prelogged, and I expect to be satisfied at 1,000-1500 calories, which won't put me over too much. We'll see how strong my resolve is. If I go crazy, I'm not worried. I'll just pay for it by not having quite as many of my sister's cookies on Christmas, which is probably a good idea anyway.
