  • Wow. I’m disappointed. My scale literally sits on four pads, but I need to re-weigh because a referee think my scale is sitting on the piece of paper??? C’mon, this is getting ridiculous. I took almost the exact same picture for my weigh-in photo and that was accepted!! Now I have to be super careful with what I eat so I don’t go over my weight??!?! Not that I was going to pig out, but geez.

    I have included both photos my weigh IN photo is first

Hi Rachel! I see that we already responded to your email, but I wanted to apologize for any inconvenience or frustration. Since we need to be sure that scales are not resting on anything that could cause an uneven surface, best practice is to show separation between your scale and weigh-in word. Sorry again for the trouble!

I understand that you have your rules, but when those of us who have worked hard and are proud of our weight loss, have to prove it beyond the shadow of a doubt, even though we’ve done nothing to cheat or in any way, it really takes the fun out of it. I worked hard to last four weeks to lose the weight that I did and I can assure you that I verified my weight before I ever stepped on the scale with a piece of paper under it. The paper was touching absolutely nothing on the scale because it sits on four little posts so that’s it. I hope I win this one because I resubmitted my weight this morning and I will not do it again. And then I’m done with Dietbet…

Because I probably sound petty by complaining about this, I just need to clarify that the last couple diets I have done I have also had to resubmit my weight when is very clearly accurate, I wouldn’t have submitted it. I think one time I entered the wrong weight because it is harder for me to see the numbers when they’re far away because I am in my 50s… But other than that it’s always some little thing And I just it’s not fun anymore.

So let me share a little bit about me.

Disclaimer: I’m not trying to offend anyone. This is about me and me only.

I have not blossomed, not bloomed, but ballooned to 193 pounds. I have been living a life of stress and perimenopause for about 4 years. Between eating like crap, not sleeping and just being generally unhappy, I have absolutely let myself goooooo.

My 35 year high school reunions (I went to two schools during my childhood) are next year. I have decided THEY are the reason I need to make changes. It could be for my health, my family, my comfort, but truth be told, those reunions are my motivator.

I have joined more Dietbets in the last 10 years than I can count, I have given up hundreds of dollars, I have eaten more junk food and spent more time in recliners than any person ever should. But this time I am determined to make it stick. When I took my photos this morning I really realized how much I had let myself go.

I have started simply by cutting out the junk food and drinking probably 10 times more water than I had been (which was nearly zero ounces) each day. I’m going to make these two small changes for the first week and see where it gets me. I will add exercise and more vegetables to my diet as time progresses.

Thank you for your time and I wish luck to each and everyone of you.

I am so with you on this. I appreciate your vulnerability and honesty! I am feeling similarly to what you shared and it is time. Time for self care in whatever form benefits us…is how I see it. I’m rooting for us all!

I’m battling perimenopause too so I can totally relate. Great job getting motivated.
