  • Hello everyone! Our game officially starts today and i'm so ready to stay accountable with you! For those of you who may not know me my name is Lexi (fatgirlfedup). I joined my first dietbet in 2016 and it helped me to lose 312lbs in two years with diet/exercise. No meal plan, surgery, personal trainer, but just counting my calories, focusing on my diet with 30-60 mins of exercise 5x a week in the beginning. Here's a few things to get started:
    - Welcome! Together we are losing pounds and have become a community full of love, encouragement, and support! It brings me great joy to host and I love being part of such a positive weight loss space. We will have others joining us for 2 weeks so be sure to invite friends,family, and coworkers. You may literally save their life just by getting them to join in on the fun!
    - Diet is key! I use myfitnesspal to track all the food i'm eating and it helped me learn about nutrition labels, log my water/workouts, and showed me my progress!
    - MOVE! Try to get atleast 30 minutes of exercise 4-5x a week even if it's just walking. Every step adds up! I started with the elliptical 5x a week in the beginning as I was 485lbs and it helped me to not kill my knees. Start where you can and just focus on moving daily.
    - WATER is your best friend! I aim to drink a gallon a day. Water helps to keep you full, boost your metabolism, and can even help your skin while losing weight!
    - Let's be friends! Be sure to tag #fatgirlfedupsdietbet on all social media so we can find & cheer each other on!
    - PICTURES. Sometimes the scale doesn't tell the full story so be sure to take ALL the before pictures. I promise you WILL want them and we can't wait to see your transformation!
    - Any technical or weigh in problems email support@dietbet.com as they are amazing and super quick with helping!

    We're all in this together, let's do this! <3

  • Work break walks always get me in the feels 😁
    Just 15 minutes of walking can help with elevated blood flow, mood, reducing cortisol, and reducing blood sugar!

    Have you moved your body today?

  • Hi! πŸ‘‹
    First dietbet in YEARS! And I'm all inπŸ’ͺ
    Barely a week in and I'm down 7 pounds, now just to advise, I do intermittent fasting and Mondays I always start out with a 24 - 36 hour fast. It has been so helpful in my health journey!

Whew! I couldn't go that long without eating something. Way to go for being able to do that and have success!

BenderChiq

It took me a long time to get to his point. Started with small fasts - 12-13 hours, then 16, 18, 20.
I did a 24 hour fast, and felt amazing! My first 36 hour fast was hard, but now I know when to do one according to my cycle.

Question for people: I am working out daily and sweat and have to wash my hair, but I feel like I am drying it out. Any hair help or suggestions?

I used baby powder on non hair wash days, dries up the scalp sweat and I smell fresh as a daisy too?:laughing:

xMariBellax

These are amazing ideas! It is for sure sweaty and I don't want to go to work smelling. But I like the dry shampoo/baby powder idea

  • My goal this game is to stay accountable to myself by login my food in Lose It! and weigh daily. I’m hoping to lose the weight and win the game, but also collect some valuable data to continue on my journey.
