  • 1.3 pounds away from my goal last night and I woke up this morning to being .4 under. I can't believe I did it. 😭 Congratulations to everyone who joined, whether you reached your goal or not, because you took a step forward! We got this. ❤

Sunday morning I was 150.6 (3.8 lbs below goal). This morning I was 155. 😂 Literally have done nothing different. Why are our bodies so weird and confusing? I’ve been at/below goal since the 14th and randomly my body says HAHA JOKES ON YOU. But it’s okay, juice cleansing and getting my water in today. Whatever happens will happen. I don’t need advice, just here to vent and if anyone else is also experiencing this weirdness you aren’t alone! 😂

I had salad and egg roll in a bowl one day. That was it. Gained 1.5.

So crazy!

Oh no, Stacy!! Sodium, maybe? I hate how every day is a struggle, but my husband can skip his dessert and lose 5 pounds:joy:

I have to lose 13.4 pounds in 28 days. I was a little nervous about being able to meet that goal. I still am, but I am already down 7.4 pounds! Only 6 to go and I still have three weeks!!!

I know we're "only" on day 3 of this journey, but I'm feeling so motivated and pumped! I've had a million "day 1s" in my life, but it feels different this time? I'm not being as regimented and worried about getting every detail right. I've learned what my body can and can't do and am just along for the healing. I'm shedding more than the weight this time around

  • This past year I climbed to my highest weight ever reaching an all time high of 354. I was disgusted with myself, my weight has prevented me from doing some of my favorite things and made me uncomfortable in regular situations, for example sitting in chairs that squeeze my hips, just moving my body, putting on clothes, and more. I started taking back my like on 12/29 and set the following goals for the month:
    Exercise at least 3x a week for 30 mins
    Drink plenty of water
    Get back to eating healthier and tracking food
    Do exercises that I find fun to move my body, not a punishment
    Loose 10 lbs this month
    And lastly, to track everything in this book.
    I absolutely love this book. I am more of a hands on person when it comes to tracking, I like to physically write things down and journal. This book is 6 months worth of planning goals and tracking and so far I am loving it. 😍

    I hope whatever your goals are, you reach them and have fun while doing so!

    Lets do this!

Michelle, I feel you. My heaviest last year was 357. I got down to 310, but I gained most of it back. Started again on Jan 1st.
I’m here for you and I know you can do it!

  • Happy new year everyone. This is my second DietBet (signed up for the Dec one but didn’t really participate) and this month I’m focusing on being more consistent with my exercise. Been losing/gaining the same 1-2kg for the last 6 months after losing 30kg (66lbs) in the 12 months before that, and I think it’s because I haven’t been as active. It’s evening time here on the 2nd Jan (Australia) and the first 2 days have been good. Hit the gym yesterday for about an hour and did a 2.2km walk with my mum this afternoon.

    Where is everyone from? Are there any other Aussies here?

I’m in Kansas. I work at a college and have a student from Australia. It’s going to be really cold here when she returns to Kansas from winter break in Australia. I imagine it will be a shock to her system.

I’m a Texan, living in New Mexico! Good luck to you!!!
