Made it with a whopping 2 ounces to spare lol. This menopause phase of life definitely requires more effort to lose weight. Ahhh to be young again.

Congrats! And, yes, if I thought it was hard to lose weight before, menopause made it 10x harder for me!

Me too....

Looking ahead but is anyone else joining another DietBet after this?! This has me so motivated to meet my end goal of 18 lb in 9 weeks - i am already 8 lb down in 2 weeks! Shocked!! But I think a lot of it was water weight- I was drinking wine at night, eating sweets all hours of the day, and this has really made me look at my choices!

If I can find one that fits nicely between Thanksgiving and Xmas, I may consider another

I find that what works best for me is to do one and then take a month break and make sure I maintain.
If I push myself too hard I end up not being very successful for a very long time

Oh how I would love a huge bowl of ice cream but. . I want that scale to go down this week.
I never thought a bet like this would change my actions so much....❤

Back from vacation and ready to drop the couple pounds I added. If you like biking consider taking a vacay with VBT it was wonderful. They offer trips all over the world. I just completed the ride in Natchez MS. Amazing!!! Yet challenging...

    It's time to brag about your successes! I know that each one of you has had successes so let's hear them! This is one of my favorite times of the game, I love hearing your stories!

    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! Even if it's simply learning what does or doesn't work for you...that's valuable info for the future and also a win!

    Enjoy these last few days my friends and keep that goal in sight! The final weigh-in is October 13-14 in Pacific Time! And make sure to submit the Final weigh-in, not a Progress weigh-in only.

I am making better balanced lunches now! With veggies everytime!

Kathleen-I am using an app (not sure if I can say what app here) that tells me my macros and they also give me a meal plan I can follow but I have been making my own, and they also give you a workout plan (Which I have yet to start.) I haven’t quite figured out balancing my macros yet but I aim to get all of my protein in each day and make sure to not go over my carbs, calories and fat

  • Happy Monday, DietBetters! 🎉 How are you feeling going into this final week? Did you have an awesome weekend?

    It’s time for our final push, but we want you to be gentle with yourself and be incredibly proud of the decision you made to prioritize your health.

    This week is all about optimizing your effort and celebrating how far you’ve come!

    A few tips for these final days:
    No Drastic Changes: Stick to the habits you’ve built; avoid crash dieting or over-exercising.
    Keep Moving: Stay active and hit those step goals consistently.
    Final Fuel Check: Drink your water and limit high-sodium foods to reduce bloat.
    Rest & Recharge: Get enough sleep—it’s crucial for weight loss!

    Remember: The number on the scale is just one measure. Any change you've noticed—more energy, better sleep, new habits—that’s the true win. What have you learned about yourself since the game started?

    Let’s do this together, focusing on progress right up to the end! What's the biggest non-scale victory you're celebrating this week? 👇

I try to remember to get 8 hours sleep nightly. Apple Watch helps me

I did really well the first week and a half losing 9 pounds but then the weekend happened and I didn’t grocery shop for me like I should have and ate what my family ate :( and then it continued into this past week. I meal prepped today and I’m ready to get back on track!

  • Love the Step Bet Challenge and love the way it has helped me be consistent. The Diet Bet is more challenging as the scale does not always respond the way I think it should even when I make changes in the way you eat/drink water/ etc.
    Determined to finish strong and pray the scale shows the effort made. 😊

I love walking. While some say it is not that challenging..you can make it more so with a few hills :grinning:. It's my time to enjoy a podcast, sometimes half listening and enjoying nature. One of the best times if the day!!

I walk 6 days a week. Loving this weather!!

  • Happy Monday, friends! Can you believe we’re already in Week 3?

    I love this quote: Wake up determined, go to bed satisfied.” 💪 It’s such a powerful reminder that how we start our day sets the tone for how we finish it.

    Each morning, take a moment to tap into your determination—whether that’s reconnecting with your why, picturing how proud you’ll feel at the end of the day, or using tools like EFT (episodic future thinking) to imagine your future self.

    Small intentional choices today add up to that satisfying feeling tonight. Let’s make this week count! 🙌

    👉 What’s one thing you’re determined to do today that will help you go to bed satisfied tonight?
