Hooray! The last couple weigh-ins, I’ve been feeling like I don’t look any different, but then I went back and looked at my “before” and I’m feeling pretty happy now! I do have a ways to go yet, but realistically, I’m still struggling with good habits, so I think I’m going to take some time to focus on staying where I am (instead of backsliding) before I try to lose any more weight.

That was a close one, .1 lbs under! Now I just have to make it through a trip to Paris without doing too much damage! This bet and all the walking should help keep me in line, and if not, I’ll still have about 3 weeks to recover from the pastries and cheese.
P.S. Anyone else have to take a dozen (or twice that, if I’m being honest) pictures for every weighin because they hate how they look? I know I shouldn’t care for this, but I look either dimwitted or ancient or constipated or deranged in almost every picture I take.

- I was so determined. I had lost approx 45lbs since Jan. I joined this challenge to keep it challenging. I had actually hit my 10% this June but ive beem struggling this summer. Was up 15 from my lowest this summer and I'm down 5 of that. But i dont think I've hit my 6% min to qualify. I am approx 10 off from this months goal still. Either way I'm so proud of my progress this year. Sucks losing the financial peice but its less important than my health gains this year. This journey is not over yet for me. Hope everyone is doing great and stays motivated whether or not they win this bet. Your health is the most important thing.
Update 1: Ahh i did the math on my calculator!! I might have got the 6%! Wish me luck
Update 2: submitted weigh in i should be good to enter final round. I have exactly 9lbs to go for final round! Wish me luck
Yay! Made it! Good luck to all who are still working on that last little bit today.
Has anyone here ever done a maintainer? I’ve done a lot of dietbets over the years, and after the end, I tend to creep back up pretty soon after, and then six months to a year later I’m doing another transformer. I was thinking about just signing up for one maintainer after the other after this to keep myself accountable…

Between my new phone and not wearing glasses for my weigh in (worried they count as forbidden “accessories”), getting my final photos took forEVER! My scale kept turning off, all the pictures were either blurry or I looked unhinged, and I kept hitting weird random settings that would delay or add some weird effect or zoom way in or out or shoot video. But, I finally got them!
Does anyone know if eyeglasses are excluded from the accessories ban? Weigh-in photos would be a lot easier if I could actually see what I was doing!

Stupid company trip and big fancy dinners, made it down to 18.7 to 223 in four days, so frustrated with myself… back to the grind… it feels like it takes two weeks of perfect days to outweigh 2 days of bad eating… I’m a little terrified that when I get to end of my goal weight letting up a little will take me back to where I started

Woo hoo! I was worried the 4th would be tricky, but I managed to stay in line. One good thing about heat waves and no AC, I just don’t want to eat much when it’s this hot. But the heat makes cold beer extra tempting, so I took it out if the fridge to dampen the siren song of a cold beer at the end of a hot day. (Though I will be enjoying my belated July 4th brew once I’m verified!)
Don't think I ate anything wrong, but I didn't make it this month. Sucks. That's probably a $30 dollar loss. Oh well.
I'm going to keep going strong...exercise-walking.
Maybe, I need to work on sleeping more regularly...that needs to be improved. And I'm NOT going to use this loss as an excuse to eat something definitely not healthy/not on my diet...probably! Maybe one treat that I will use as a RESET. Sometimes, this actually helps me lose weight...and "get unstuck".

Yay, hit my goal! I managed to control myself on vacation because my kickstarter weigh-outs fell a few days ago while I was still out of town. Just awaiting verification.⏳:)
