I'm tired of letting my body hurt just because it's easier to be lazy and eat things that make me feel worse later.

Just submitted my weigh-in👍?. But I didn’t see where it said it was the “final” weigh-in vs. a “progress” weigh-in. How can I confirm my weigh-in is “final”? I ask bc this happened before on a previous game, that on the last day, I somehow submitted a progress weigh-in, rather than a final weigh-in and despite it being below my goal, it was not accepted as the final. It was confusing that both were listed at the end of the game. I worked hard and don’t want to botch this again.

You should get an email as well as a notification in the app about your weigh-in. It will say you submitted your final weigh-in if that's what you submitted.

Also, if your progress weigh-in is below your goal, once it is verified, you will receive an email saying you won this game and your winnings will be updated post finalization of the game.

  • Completed my first Spartan 5k obstacle course race yesterday in Charlotte NC. Was a wonderful experience to be part of the Spartan family and help each other overcome the obstacles and cross the finish line!

  • Our 1.5 year old rescue has recently learned she can jump this fence. Because our back fence is technically the property of the HOA we can't do anything about it. I've been doing my best to find a new home for her (with lots of land, or a tall fence) to no avail. Unfortunately when she jumps it's to chase other dogs, so she just isn't safe in our yard. :( I am completely heartbroken. The silver lining is Im walking her a lot more and getting steps in while we search. But long term, for the rest of her life (for her sake) this just isn't feasible. :( if anyone has any recommendations (aside from an invisible fence, because that won't deter her when she gets fixated on chasing another dog) I am all ears!!

It sounds like you're doing your best to help your dog, and I believe exercise can play a huge role in calming her down. If you continue walking her regularly and getting her involved with other dogs, she’ll likely tire out more and lose the urge to jump over the fence or chase after fish and other dogs. This way, she'll start to see the backyard as a more peaceful space for resting and playing rather than a place to escape.

As for the fence issue, since you’re dealing with HOA restrictions, one option could be adding a higher fence or some kind of barrier to discourage her from jumping over. You could also consider training her to associate positive behavior in the yard, like offering treats or praise when she stays inside the boundaries. Regular walks and playtime will help keep her active, and with consistent training, you can help her learn to stay safe and content at home. You’ve got this – and it sounds like you're already making great progress!

Training, adding on to the inside of the fence to make it higher, or electric fences are the best options. My dog will try to push through our vinyl fencing. It's plenty high for him not to go over it, but we didn't trust the panels to hold. A few times into the electric fence, and I honestly haven't needed it turned on after the first couple of months. He still stays away from that side of the yard a year later. Just remember to turn those off before mowing and keep free of debris.

Yesterday was spaghetti night (that is code for a hard day). My wife made double. Pasta is a trigger food for me. I finished the day at a 500 calorie surplus, where a normal day is a 500 calorie deficit. One of my daughters turned 6 this weekend too, cake! Yum! I'm still averaging at about a 350 calorie deficit per day for the past week, but the scale is up 2 lbs today. I worked pretty had to lose that last 2 lbs, how dare it come back in one day. What makes it worse is I was 2 lbs away from my next goal of an overweight BMI. Oh well, now it's 4 lbs. The complexities of weight lost science are lost on me, even with this little bump in the road I have lost 14.4 lbs since this game started and I intend to keep doing what I have been doing and one day I will be overweight!

I too LOVE pasta! I have really started to love Baanza (sp?). It’s a chickpea pasta that actually has a texture very like regular pasta. It tastes great too! It’s not low carb but it’s definitely healthier carbs that regular pasta. I eat it when I really have a pasta craving and it’s super satisfying! Even my skinny husband that has no weight issues ever (damn him!) likes it.

One of my new habits this week, is posting here daily. Always great to read other posts and feel the support in here. Another habit I started today is doing a daily VR workout. That was challenging but fun.

I second putting a scheduled reminder for every weigh-in day in your phone calendar. I have totally remembered weigh-in day that morning, but I got caught up in the most trivial thing just to forget to submit my progress. It really sucks, but at least you hit your goal, and half of your buy-in this month is still waiting for you at the end of the 6 months.

I had this game and 2 others going. I kissed the two others, but I'm committed to not missing this one now! It hurt to throw money away like that when I lost the weight

How much Money you guys thinking we are gonna make?!?!

I'm thinking pot is $35,960 ×75% cuz dietbets got bills so $26,970 for the winners.

I'm thinking this round will have 1350 winners (I mean, really, we are all winners, I'm just thinking the ones getting paid). I've plaid a lot of these, I know.

So $35960 × 75% / 1350 = $19.977777

Dietbet will round up to 20 though cuz they would never let us lose money unless you got the membership. Then, you may not have recovered that in this round
$20 each that's my guess

Well I got injured and was 0.9 over the goal for this week. I’m bummed but hopefully will make it next round.

Stay strong. You’ll make it next month.

That's not too far off! Keep your nutrition tight and take care of your injuries. It's all you can do when that happens. Hope you heal up quickly.

Both my kids fence, and since my youngest struggles to focus enough for group lessons, I decided to start so I could help him. They've been going to that club for 7 or 8 months, so all the teens know us and chat with me while they're resting between bouts. I took my first intermediate class last night, which is the level at which you can start doing open practice. Every single one of them saw me with gear on as they came in and started calling dibs for a bout. Between the class and all the bouts, I was there for nearly 3 hours. It's really intense. I felt like I was dying the whole time, but at the same time, I was having a blast.
