Does anyone know how close you have to get to goal weight? This morning I was shy just .3 pounds of my goal. So less than one half of a pound. If that happens tomorrow is it considered a missed goal?

- Two days left and I’m 2 pounds short! 😤
I’ll be honest - the last couple days have been rough. Between the start of school and work getting crazy busy, I’ve been feeling stressed and scattered. My morning workouts have taken a hit, my stress levels are up, and I haven’t been able to cook regularly like I usually do.
But you know what? The deadline is Sunday and I’m NOT giving up my money or my progress!
Here’s what I’ve learned so far: focusing on WHEN I eat (rather than obsessing over every detail of what I eat) has been a game-changer for maintenance mode. And this challenge has reminded me that a goal without a deadline is just a dream - I don’t want to be stuck in permanent dreamer mode! Today, I’m hungry, I’m cranky, but I’m DETERMINED. The motivation that was missing before? It’s back with a vengeance because I can see that finish line.
Already thinking about my next DietBet and not my next meal.
To everyone else in the final stretch: we’ve got this! See you on weigh-in day. 💪
Anyone else wait til near the end to exercise? 😒😁

I’m kind of a mess. I had pizza last weekend and the bloat has taken all week to come off—but, it hasn’t all come off because I ate my weight in feeling yesterday. I’m right at 50% of my goal even though I was at my goal last time this week. So I know it’s sodium and excess processed food and not real weight gain (maybe a half pound or so), but really. This weekend we are camping and eating out for dinners both nights, followed by campfire s’mores. So we’ll see what Mondays weigh-in will be. Shrug. I am ready to get refocused on Monday. I know I can drop it, since I was already there. But some
Hormonal issues I’m having are making it much harder to see sustained progress. At least I haven’t gotten back up to my highest point of this challenge, and that’s a good thing! But my goal is 149.8 by Oct 1st. I can do this.

Anyone else a nervous nelly? We’re already 2 weeks in and I’ve only lost a pound 😳. I hope I can pull this one out!
Exercised 4 days in a row, but not really losing any weight. Lalala

Today I packed a lunch. My biggest problem with food is eating out too much.

- Welcome to Week 1!
Now that we're officially underway, let's talk about the most important "ingredient" for success: having fun! This game isn't about rigid rules or boring meals. It's about finding ways to make healthy living enjoyable and sustainable.
For example, did you know that laughter can actually burn calories? A good giggle can increase your heart rate by 10-20%, which means a 10-15 minute belly laugh could burn up to 40 calories. So go ahead, watch that funny video or call that hilarious friend—it's part of your workout!
What's the "weirdest" food combination that you enjoy? (e.g., peanut butter on a hamburger, dipping pretzels in yogurt)
I played Diet Bet five times a few years ago. I only won once, but I lost ten pounds overall. Now, 10pounds heavier than that, I’m going to try it again.
