I woke up to a few food wrappers around me. Uhm, what? Im not even on that much of a cut diet. And im not a sleepwalker. So i have a slight recollection of getting up.

Bah! That's weird. Still on track.

Low fat cottage cheese, reduced fat string cheese (higher protein), non fat plain Greek yogurt.

Protien bars, Protien shakes.

Protien on top of Protien.

More Protien.

Workout.

Im gonna become a dang meat ball, I guess hopefully just not a round one lol.

Get out there and get it!

If your not using "my fitness pal" to count calories I recommend it. Unless you got something else ya like.

That’s incredible! I struggled so hard to lose my minimum 26. I usually lose around 35 on the Transformers.

  • Ive lost 50.6 lbs since the first of the year!

    I'm at 190.9.

    Im 1 lb away from being in the 180s!!!! I haven't seen that weight in a long long time.

    Glad I kept all my old tees, including my high-school era (grad 2010). I'll be able to wear my favorite shirt again soon! It's been like 6 or 7 years!!! Unfortunately to fit though, I need to lose about 10 more lbs.

    My face even looks skinnier! (Excuse the bed head i haven't gotten up lol)

    I feel like myself again! I can tie my dang boots in the morning. I can touch the ground flat handed again! I literally went from the last beltloop to the smallest, and need a new belt or punch a hole in it.

    Woooo!

My only tip is really dedication to this. I want to eat all the time. And i don't. I've severely cut calories, and that's not necessarily a good thing. When I do eat it's something high in protien. I drink more water than anything else. And I do have a very physical job. To be honest I don't feel to great. My advice is don't do what I'm doing and take it slow.

Woohoo, congrats! Thanks for sharing, it's so encouraging!

Man oh man, ive been having a hard time. Ive got the weight for this game in the bag, but I've got another more intense bet I've made, and i started eating out again on and off. Ive only lost like a pound or 2 in quite some time. Which is still in the right direction. So I'm happy about that. But I'm still a bit worried about my eating habits after these games. I normally return to my bad habits. I don't want to gain it back. But I do every time...

But not this time!
I like to sign up for a game that takes me post holidays. For example I did one that ended two days after Thanksgiving. I still indulged- but not as much. We all fall off track - it’s how fast we get back on that matters.

laurenc

You've caught it!!! You're onto yourself before you get too far down the slippery slope! It can't be a never, but maybe keep a calendar of how often you eat out. Plan them ahead of time so its something you have to look forward to (and can also be intentional about your other meals that day to make 'room' for eating out). I've found myself doing something similar with drinking - now that I'm not sick anymore and my liver numbers are back to normal, I am tempted so much more to just have one drink. But when I do it every night of the week, even just that one drink adds up. It's hard to draw the line!

Started tracking in myfitnesspal and being consistent with tracking calories and protein. It's working so well for me right now. Aiming for 8k steps per day and strength training 4x week. Below my goal weight this round! Here's so more wins!

Way to go! It works well doesn't it? I used MyFitnessPal for these challenges for years! I loved that the free version has plenty enough features to healthily lose weight. My only problem was that I hate tracking, so it was never sustainable, hence why I kept having to come back for more challenges.

Gage F.

Myfitpal is amazing. Back when I was a hunk of muscle I used it religiously. When I stopped using it I put on the pounds. It is an extremely helpful tool.

Just had covid for over a week. (First time covid, haha) Fell off the diet, stayed away from the scale... still lost 4 lbs???? What the heck just happened. I mean, I didn't OVER do the eating. Just ate junk like I used to. Just not like, the whole menu. Im so confused right now. Maybe I'm super dehydrated. Maybe my scale is broken. This makes NO sense.

Im not complaining, I know some of you wish this magic would happen to you. Im just stating an anomaly in my journey.

I thought I was going to have to fast to catch back up... nope.

Stay healthy my friends!

Lucky you! Day 4 of the flu over here, and I'm not eating, no interest in food, and I still gained a pound this morning! Wtf !?

Naomi D.

Dehydration and/or loss of muscle can easily cause a drop like this. Conversely water retention might explain Lauren's experience.

So, this is my first ever diet bet. Im still learning how to navigate this app. But I'm wondering, are there bets on here to gain muscle mass? I'm very money motivated. Seems that when I put money on the line, I meet my goals easily. After I lose the weight, i want to gain some back in muscle.

So are there bets like this on here?
