• Well. Last weekend was my partner’s birthday so we celebrated (maybe a little too much, but nothing I couldn’t come back from). Then Wednesday came and we found out we lost someone we thought would always be there. Between the post-party blues and the deeper sadness I’ve had a hard time doing anything this week that wasn’t laying on the couch. Yesterday I went back to work after a week off and tried not to cry in front of customers. But it felt good to have something else to focus on. So this morning I got up early and did yoga. I’m reading a book and drinking coffee. I’m planning to get back into the gym next week. I’ve had a setback, but this isn’t over!
  

• I had a rather ugly setback. I run every morning, the means by which I can drop those pounds off. Friday I hit a curb wrong and broke my 5th metatarsal (foot). Bummer!
  

• Find a fun visual way to track your progress! It sure helps me!
  

• Hello everyone! Our game officially starts today & im so excited to jumpstart 2025 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 12 days 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 loosing 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!
  
  TIME TO MAKE THIS OUR YEAR! Let's do this! <3
