I've really hit a slump in my journey, I started in November and have lost 45lbs. The past 2 months I'm only down 2 more, 100% my own doing but I just can't seem to get back in the groove. I'll be 100% with my calorie deficit for a few days then fall off for a few days. I know the only person that controls this is me, but I'm struggling. Any advice?

- Jan to now 💛
Peloton three times a week (inc one arms workout), Pilates twice a week and lots of walking, water and completely overhauling how I eat...
- 5 days left in this round!
Wishing everyone success this round, I love how mutually supportive this group is!
So on the subject of finishing this round: I am already preparing myself that I am NOT going to reward myself with food.
I was thinking maybe taking an evening off and watching a show with hubby, which we rarely have time for anymore.
Does anyone have ideas or non-food/not expensive things they do to reward themselves?
We're getting close now!!
We've even had our Round 1 winners announced! Jake P and RollerCoasterDreams each won a Ninja Blender! 🎉 Congratulations!
You can check all the prizes for this game in our 2025 Make The New Year Magic Transformer FAQs. You can also check there for any questions you have, including questions about our upcoming weigh-in.
To answer a couple questions I've seen lately... Our weigh-in for this round will be February 1 and 2. The weigh-in period begins at midnight pacific time. You can weigh-in anytime during those two days.
👍 If you've met your goal, weigh-in early to allow plenty of time for approval or to fix your submission if necessary.
👍 If you're thisclose to meeting your goal, feel free to wait until the 2nd.
👍 Any official weigh-in you complete in another game, or as a member, that has been approved can be re-used for this game within 48 hours. Start the weigh-in process and select the option to re-use an approved weigh-in, just make sure to keep an eye on the time!
That should help! Please also check out those FAQs because all the information is there!
Now, let's congratulate our first prize winners 🎉 and drop a word that describes how you're feeling at this point in our game!
What an inspiring group!! Some of you are off to an incredible start!
Early on I saw some of you ask about your weigh-in goals and / or losing too much weight. The exact breakdowns are in our Make the New Year Magic Transformer FAQs, but I want to put your mind at ease about a few things.
First, your goals are all set already based off your initial weigh-in. They will not change during this game. If you lose more this month, you're that far ahead for your Round 2 goal. To check your monthly goals click the Round Info button by your Round 1 progress on desktop, and All to the right of the Rounds at the top of the app.
Second, you would have to be experiencing some very unhealthy weight loss to be disqualified during a round. Unless you experience an illness, in which case you can reach out to support@dietbet.com, losing 12% of your starting weight during one round is unlikely. See the breakdown for each round here.
Third, there is a difference between our prizes for this game (awarded monthly to anyone active in this game, regardless of weigh-ins or membership) and Weekly Membership Prizes (awarded weekly to Members who have completed the weekly progress weigh-in by Wednesday of each week). Find more information here.
How do you feel about your weight loss so far?
A) I've had a large loss already and it feels great!
B) Slow and steady, I'm feeling good about my pace
C) I'm just getting started
D) I haven't seen a loss yet, but I'm doing the right things!
E) I'm struggling to get started
F) I haven't even looked at a scale yet
G) Other - tell us about it!
3rd times a charm? Looking forward to giving this another go.
Recently got a peloton so hoping that will help me over the finish line this time around.
Any other peloton users? Maybe we can create a dietbet team on thee for extra motivation
