Lose weight the fun way.

Good morning and happy Friday!

As we head into the holiday weekend for those in the US, make sure to stay hydrated! In the Midwest we are under a heat advisory, so I’ll be carrying my water bottle with me anywhere I go.

Current water bottles rotate between Owala and Hydroflask, depending on where I’m at. What’s your favorite water bottle?

My favorite changes daily! I find that having the right water bottle on the go or fun glass at home makes it easier to stay motivated :sweat_drops:

Some mornings (like today) I expect the scale to show a lower number, but sadly it doesn’t 😥. I keep reminding myself that it is trending downwards overall, and that’s all that matters. Stay strong everyone 👍

Good morning and happy Friday! Fridays are the start of my weekend so it’s time for my adulting that I can do without kiddos along! Usually super exciting stuff like Costco and the grocery store. But then it leaves our Saturdays open for family stuffs.

Over the weekends, while I don’t actively workout, I still find ways to add movement to the day. Dancing while cleaning, walking in place while cooking, putting clothes away one item at a time, things like that.

How are you keeping up your movement for the weekend?

Well speaking of costco that’s where I work and I stock produce so my first 8 hours of my day starts with a lot of physical activity and now that I’m home for the day time to mow the lawn :weary: lol

Weekends for me can be fraught with guilt: I’m eating too much/ exercising too little. I counteract that with 1) getting in more steps and 2) drinking more water. I feel more ‘positive’ about these mini wins. I park farther away when I’m running errands. Walking after meals or between extra glasses of water in the morning. I can track the differences in these 2 things so I feel accomplished :thumbsup:

Training for a 5k at the end of September.
Last night while my husband took our toddler on errands, I hit the treadmill for some intervals to work my way back to steady state running.
My treat for treadmill running (because I can't maintain a pace to save my life) is to pick a show that I can only watch while working out.
Currently watching Grantchester.

OMG~ you go girl :hearts:. Love the idea of treating yourself to a show while doing this. That would be the extra incentive that would motivate me. Thanks for this reminder

Starting a few days late... I just ended and WON a DB yesterday and figured I'd keep the momentum and roll my winnings to another DB.
Here I go 💪

Is there weekly weigh ins or just beginning and end?

I should mention, if you have an upgraded account, your weekly weigh ins get you eligible for prizes

Hi James! All players can submit initial and final weigh ins and update their weight unofficially at any time. DietBet members are able to submit weekly progress weigh ins to be entered into the prize drawings.

Ugh, I was so ready and motivated and now I have to resubmit my weight via video. I wonder if it's because I gained too much weight since my weigh out last Monday to today (thank you to weight gain due to bloat/starting my cycle)
I'm probably going to weigh even more at end of day today.

Let’s look at it as a positive. I weigh the least in the morning before eating drinking. You needing to do a weigh in tonight puts your starting weight likely higher, so you’ll have a 4% based on that likely higher starting point. Win/win

If they don't disqualify me gaining 7lbs in a week! :scream:

Hi! New to diet bet! I’m hopeful this will keep me accountable!

What is the $300 bonus? Is that a challenge? How does it work?

Good luck everyone!

I think it is just added to the pot for the people who attain the goal to split equally. I may be wrong….

Stephanie is correct. DietBet adds $300 to the game pot and it is spilt equally among the winners.

Hi there. I’m Michaele (pronounced Michelle). I’ve been wit Dietbet since 2017. I’d take breaks when life was hectic and come back. I’ve been dealing with diabetes and weight gain and I just feel like I need to conquer this and take my health back. The last several games I’ve lost because I just wasn’t motivated. I’m back after a break and I’m ready to do this. 💪💪
