Anyone have tips for lifting weights and still losing weight on the scale?
This seems to be where I get off track as I know the weight on the scale is muscle. I tend not to lift weights while I am doing a dietbet so I can reach the goal, but I'd like to figure out how to still lose weight on the scale AND lift weights

Unless you are getting absolutely swole, you're not gaining more muscle than the fat you're burning. A muscle that gets used burns calories at rest. It's not just the actual workouts that make body builders need more calories, it's that they are in a constant passive caloric deficit. If your BMI or body fat % is getting REALLY low, then you'd be in that realm, but odds are, you're not there yet.

There is some great advice here, Janae! I think it's all about finding the right balance between strength training and cardio. Lifting weights can definitely lead to some water retention due to inflammation in the muscles, so make sure you are incorporating enough rest days and staying hydrated! Have you ever tried pilates? That can also be a great way to tone without lifting heavy weights :)

I would love to see some of your guy's ideas, goals and plans for the healthier lifestyle changes that will help you to lose weight and maintain the weight loss!

My goals for this dietbet include:

1. Replacing unhealthy sugary treats with fruit/fruit smoothies or a honey sweetened tea.

2. Reducing my portion sizes a little bit

3. Walking 30 minutes every day

4. Coming up with a good rotating system for dinners, so I don't have to spend energy thinking about what to cook or making complicated meals. I'm hoping to just rotate the same 4 or 5 healthy dinners throughout the month. Recipes recommendations are appreciated!

Goodluck everybody! Your future self will thank you for loving yourself enough to prioritize your health and make the lifestyle changes necessary.

I’m aiming for high protein, 3 servings of leafy greens every day, and 30+ minutes of walking a day :yum:

Those are some great goals, Georgia! Walking 30 minutes a day has SO many benefits - not just weight loss! Don't forget to drink enough water! You got this!
