  • Wooo man, what a week! As I’ve said forever it seems, you can be stubborn in your goals, but stay flexible in your methods. Between kids out of school most of the week with all the lovely cold and ice, our youngest getting a pretty severe concussion Friday at recess (he’s good now and recovering), our oldest having a soccer tourney today with a windchill of 6 degrees, then getting tangled up with another player and hitting her head on the turf which prompted another ER visit and another concussion (very mild)…basically how I planned to end this week and game didn’t go anything like I planned.

    First and most importantly, I am SO FRIGGIN’ PROUD of all of you! Whether you made the 4% goal for this game or not, you still won simply in the fact that you committed to taking four weeks to create healthier habits, both in your fitness and nutrition. Now, I hope you continue those habits moving forward! Remember, this game was about learning which habits and practices are not sustainable in your daily life and which ones you can keep focusing on to keep heading the right direction to your goals.

    I realize I owe y’all another live stream and workout and again am so sorry the way this week ended! If you do have any burning questions that you are still needing answers for, please put them in the comments below so they can get answered!

    Congrats to everyone again and THANK YOU for making me have the most fun job on the planet, in getting to continue helping people find the healthiest and happiest version of themselves!

So happy to have hit my goal but more importantly to stay consistent for 30 straight days, even through my birthday! I’ve learned so much and will be continuing this journey hybrid calendar! Thank you Joel!

This has been a rollercoaster ride and for my own mental health I will not be doing a diet bet again. Yesterday I was .1 away from my goal and after ending up eating only one large meal mid day I was sure I’d get there. Unfortunately my husband salts things more than I do and I jumped up a full pound this morning. Now I’m feeling like I just want to go all day today without eating so I can weigh in tomorrow but that feels like a very unhealthy mentality. These were fun in my 30s but that time of life is over. Congrats to those who hit their goals and learned new, healthy habits!

I totally get that! I don’t do these often for that very reason!

No single plan works for everyone. Joel's plan is good, but if it didn't work for you, it's not *your* plan. You've got to carefully track your diet, exercise, and activities. Look for patterns, then adjust to boost the good ones and cut down on the bad ones. Just keep going.

Trying to keep it together for the next several days. This was a hard dietbet for me. Movement wasn't a problem, it was the eating that was the issue. I have been indulging a bit too much and really need to reign it in. Anyone else in the same boat?

  • L4 w8 shoulders/arms. I hit my goal weight today!!!!! Just need to stay buckled down through the weekend. My brother in law is visiting and we do have some fun food planned, but I’m planning to load up on veggies, chug water, and keep my movement up. Indoors of course, it’s 7 degrees. 😅?

With only a few days left before the final weigh-in, now’s the time to make some tweaks if needed! If you’re feeling like you need a little more help, look at either getting some extra movement in throughout the day, or looking to drop a few calories in your daily intake. Remember, this is only to help meet a goal, NOT long term so don’t be afraid to play around with things a bit.😊👍

I get that. My 35th is Sunday. Feeling the pressure. Tighten up the reigns hoping to hit goal by bday not to have to wait until tail end of weigh in dates

Helen V.

I’ve been focused on extra low impact movement and it’s really helping! Yesterday after that tough leg day I did a 15 minute walk around the hospital and a 30 minute stationary bike ride (slow during a meeting!).

Joel are you doing another Q&A?

  • Week 4, day 3✅! I struggle with the pivots on my rubber mat, and took some of the combos a little slower to attempt to get them correct. But it’s done! I’ve been super focused on nutrition this week and am seeing the rewards a little every day as the scale drops. I might just win this thing yet!

I’m always slower than them! Usually not too bad until they start chanting the combos. :sweat_smile:

Excellent progress!
