This DietBet has been challenging because I've been sick for more than two weeks and haven't been able to participate in my normal level of exercise/activities. Nothing serious, just some nasty virus that's going around. But I did finally reach my goal weight this morning. Now I just need to stay focused until next Tuesday! I hope all of you are also succeeding to reach your goals!

Awesome job ! That’s something to be proud of

Coach Jenn

Beth, I’m sorry you’ve been feeling so lousy. Reaching your goal this morning is a huge win, especially after a rough couple of weeks. I hope you’re feeling better soon. You’ve got this!

Scale went up a drastic amount of (salt weight) from making not all of the best food choices on labor day weekend while away with family. Also, Didn’t move as much as I hoped / drink as much water as I should have . But I’m staying strong and back at it this week. I want to end this DietBet strong 💪 we got this ❣️

That scale jump after a holiday weekend can be so frustrating, especially when you know some of it is from salt and being off your normal routine. I’m glad you’re not letting it derail you though. Back at it this week is exactly the way to go.

That was me 2 weeks ago / you’ll get it this week.

  • Future you is going to be HUNGRY. Let's get ahead of it!

    Two minutes tonight:
    - Cut up some veggies and park them at eye level in the fridge. You eat what you see first.
    - Add a dip. Hummus, ranch, peanut butter. Dipped veggies actually get eaten.

    Reminder: the **Nutrition Challenge is totally optional!** If you're in, aim for **5 servings of fruits and/or veggies a day, 5 days this week** (a serving is about a fistful). Your free Weekly Challenge Guide has all the details.

    What fruit or veggie ALWAYS makes it into your cart?

My best friend since childhood is getting married in April of 2027 and I am a bridesmaid in her wedding . I have never been a bridesmaid before. I have been yo-yo ing for the last few years -losing and gaining the same couple lbs. I’m ready to get a kickstart on my weight loss journey to look good in a light blue bridesmaid dress in April :)
