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?

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!
- 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!
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!

G) Other - tell us about it!
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.

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!

Hi everyone! I’m brand new to DietBet. I weighed in this morning at 394.4 just to see where I was at. I do want to wait until January 1 to get my “year start” weight.
I do have a few questions though. I saw that each round has a percentage loss goal. Would that percentage always come from my initial Jan. 1 weigh-in? Or does that change based on each round’s weigh-in? I also noticed that months 5 and 6 have the same 10% goal…does that mean that I have to maintain for the 6th month and I can’t lose any more weight in the last round of the game?
My goal for the whole year is to lose 100 lbs., which comes out to about 8.3 lbs. per month. Is that possible with how this “game” works?
Thank you for helping a newbie out!

I’d lost 110lbs previously using dietbets. End of 2023 I found out I was pregnant and now have an amazing 5 month old. Only problem is I’m now over half way back to my heaviest weight and my body image is really beating me down every time I see my reflection… any tips on how to stop the comparisons to my slimmest self as it’s putting me in a negative frame of mind and makes exercise difficult when I can feel my extra weight with every move 😕

I turned 40 in October and am the heaviest I've been. I'm afraid if I don't really begin healthy habits now I never will.
I'm doing this for my physical and mental health, my toddler and my wife. I want to be around for a long time, so I'm motivated to not only lose weight but create and maintain healthy, sustainable habits.
