How's everyone doing? I'm ten days in and down 5.8 lbs, 7.3 to go. Last week I hadn't lost anything for a couple days so over the weekend I didn't track anything and was a little more relaxed with what I was eating. I got back on the scale today and it's going down again. Every dietbet I've done I start out great at the beginning, the middle not so much, and the last week I drop off all the rest to meet the goal. Then in the week or so till the next diet bet started I'd regain a couple, few pounds. This is my first dietbet in over a year and although I can't exercise right now due to an almost healed wound, no sweating and no swimming are doctors orders, I feel as though I'm going to be okay and not have that huge drop at the end. I don't know who read my post when I signed up for this one but I'm towards the end of my breast cancer battle. It took my breasts, it took my focus off of the weight loss, it took my stamina, it took my heart health, and it took my hair. But it didn't take my life and I am now more motivated than ever to lose the weight and live a healthier and more active life. Best of luck to everyone here!

Cause I'm over 100 lbs overweight, I'm 50 years old not getting any younger and I'm in pain daily from the strain on my body from the extra weight. Also I would like to see the things my kids and grandkids do in the future.

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?
- Today was the first day in 8years that my weight started with a 1. I was so shocked I stepped off and had to step back on. My lowest as an adult AND my 100lb down mark is 195.0, to think I’m so close to reaching that is so surreal to me. ?
I have spent the last month not moving much. I got plantar fasciitis while overtraining for the Chicago marathon. I now better understand my body needs more rest and stretching between each run I do but man, have I packed on the pounds while resting. 😫. I’m excited to feel better after losing some weight and getting back at training! This time around, while also focusing on my nutrition too!
I'm super excited for this Diet bet! I did several back to back last year, I was on my way to my goals, then in August I was diagnosed with breast cancer. What a flipping blow! In the last nine months I've had three surgeries and several rounds of chemo and I was told by the oncologist no dieting. Don't try to lose weight, eat what you can when you can. And although the chemo did a number on my digestive tract I did not get skinny from it, I weigh about 10 pounds more than I did when I started. I'm still going every 3 weeks for immunotherapy infusions, I still have a wound that's healing from my mastectomy but I'm ready to get on the road to losing some of this weight. I've got a good hundred pounds I could stand to lose so here I go again. Best of luck to you all!
