  • This can be a difficult point in the game with a shorter month and January motivation starting to wane...

    How are you feeling about your February goal? You got this!

    Remember: Weigh-in for this round is open 3/1 and 3/2. If you have any questions (missing a weigh-in, round goals, reusing a weigh-in, etc...) they are all answered in our Make the New Year Magic game FAQs.
    * If you're still chasing your goal on 3/1, you can absolutely wait to weigh-in on 3/2.
    * If you have another weigh-in that was approved within 48 hours of our weigh-in, start the weigh-in process here to select the option to reuse a previous weigh-in.

    Let's get after it! What are you doing to make these next few days count?

Steven don't give up! You can certainly keep going, they recommend you still weigh in even if you didn't quite make it, and as long as you reach 6% total weight loss by round 5 you can keep working on it right to the end!

I'm so sorry the link wasn't there - https://support.waybetter.app/hc/en-us/articles/24340189536403-2025-Make-the-New-Year-Magic-Transformer-FAQs - Don't worry if you miss a round. You will lose half of your monthly bet, but you can make that up easily with other months and the overall pot. You've got this!

I made my goal, but just barely! Proud of what I've accomplished so far, but hoping to blow my next goal out of the water!

  • Anyone get this email to confirm your PayPal account for payouts? I don't click on random links and this feels weird since DietBet already took my money to play in the game through PayPal. Just checking to make sure it is legit! Email came from waybetter@info.waybetter.com

  • My wedding is in July! As much as I’m happy being fat, I’m working on overall health and taking some pressure off my joints. I’m stoked to have met my first month’s goal and excited to feel stronger not only for my wedding, but for life!

    It's time to brag about your successes! I know that each one of you has had successes and we want to hear about them!

    Whether you're on track to win this game or not, please know that any progress at all is a win. Any positive changes you made for yourself, are a win.

    The final weigh-in is January 29-30 in Pacific Time! And make sure to submit the Final weigh-in, not a Progress weigh-in only.

I started this challenge with a BMI classified as obese, and now I’m just overweight lol

Hit a plateu last week, but went on a liquid diet yesterday & ran a mile... it brought me down to my goal :sweat_smile: this is my first diet bet in 2-4 years, so I'm proud of the discipline I've been able to hold down this month. Good luck everyone!

  • What an inspiring group!! Some of you are off to an incredible start!

    Early on I saw some of you ask about your weigh-in goals and / or losing too much weight. The exact breakdowns are in our Make the New Year Magic Transformer FAQs, but I want to put your mind at ease about a few things.

    First, your goals are all set already based off your initial weigh-in. They will not change during this game. If you lose more this month, you're that far ahead for your Round 2 goal. To check your monthly goals click the Round Info button by your Round 1 progress on desktop, and All to the right of the Rounds at the top of the app.

    Second, you would have to be experiencing some very unhealthy weight loss to be disqualified during a round. Unless you experience an illness, in which case you can reach out to support@dietbet.com, losing 12% of your starting weight during one round is unlikely. See the breakdown for each round here.

    Third, there is a difference between our prizes for this game (awarded monthly to anyone active in this game, regardless of weigh-ins or membership) and Weekly Membership Prizes (awarded weekly to Members who have completed the weekly progress weigh-in by Wednesday of each week). Find more information here.

    How do you feel about your weight loss so far?
    A) I've had a large loss already and it feels great!
    B) Slow and steady, I'm feeling good about my pace
    C) I'm just getting started
    D) I haven't seen a loss yet, but I'm doing the right things!
    E) I'm struggling to get started
    F) I haven't even looked at a scale yet
    G) Other - tell us about it!

Great job, everyone!!!

Steven, if you miss one of the Rounds, you just forfeit the winning for that Round (half of each monthly bet goes towards the Round winnings and half goes toward the overall winnings). Therefore, you can miss a round or two and still come out on top!

One thing to make sure of is that you don't miss the required Round 5 weigh-in. Everyone is required to have lost at least 6% at that point to continue so there are no unhealthy sprints to the finish.

This is all laid out in the very last category in the FAQs! https://support.waybetter.com/hc/en-us/articles/24340189536403-2025-Make-the-New-Year-Magic-Transformer-FAQs

Does anyone have any non alcoholic beers they like? Lower carb, but I haven't found ones I LOVE yet.

Brooklyn Brewing and Lagunitas IPA are my top.

Try Athletic beers. They’re pretty good. Run Wild and Upside Dawn were my favorites. I haven’t loved any non-alcoholic beers or wines. I’d rather just cut back or drink a mocktail.

I really enjoy Athletic Brewing Co. Their Run Wild IPA is my favorite!

I don't know about the carb content, but I love the Sam Adams Just the Haze, and Collective Arts Emerald Dark is really good (but carb content says 19...). If you're into IPAs, Partake has a great 10 calorie hoppy water, more of a beer like flavor/punch than just the regular Hop Waters.

Got up an hour early today to do a mobility workout. Nothing crazy, but getting my butt out of bed early was a struggle.

I feel great and ready to start the day. What's the one new thing you can do today? Let's rock the day together!

That's a great start! Congrats on getting up earlier and the workout! :muscle:
