I've lost 10 lbs since starting this DietBet, but these last 7 lbs are killing me. Trying to make peace with likely losing this one. The money is what hurts, since I'm already feeling so much better than when I started. ?

Well, I was doing great and already down past my month 4 goal at weigh in last month but then I found out I'm pregnant! Which is crazy since I'm going to be 45 next month. Definitely wasn't expecting this. So I won't be able to continue on in this bet. Just wanted to say thanks for all the motivation from everyone and the great tips and recipes. I hope you all rock this bet and get to your ultimate goals! I'll be back in Dec or Jan to get back on track!
1.5lbs off!! Oh well, it's my own fault for slacking off during my whole birthday week. I'll make it next round.

I really wish we could get paid out every round instead of at the end. The $$ would come in handy! :)

I’ve never done a $100 DietBet. Are the weigh ins the same as the $40 ones?

Talk to me about yogurt…. I haven’t eaten yogurt since I was a kid. I don’t usually eat breakfast either….
Trying to build better habits. Was considering yogurt with fruit and granola or nuts as a daily breakfast or snack.
How sweet can I go before it has to be called a dessert? I do think I need a tiny bit of sweetness to help me get transitioned though…. Are the noosa’s too much sugar? Was also looking at Fage or other Greek style yogurts as options.
Thoughts?

Hi everyone! I’m brand new to DietBet. I weighed in this morning at 394.4 just to see where I was at. I do want to wait until January 1 to get my “year start” weight.
I do have a few questions though. I saw that each round has a percentage loss goal. Would that percentage always come from my initial Jan. 1 weigh-in? Or does that change based on each round’s weigh-in? I also noticed that months 5 and 6 have the same 10% goal…does that mean that I have to maintain for the 6th month and I can’t lose any more weight in the last round of the game?
My goal for the whole year is to lose 100 lbs., which comes out to about 8.3 lbs. per month. Is that possible with how this “game” works?
Thank you for helping a newbie out!
