Hi, everyone, I thought that during this game I would go from looking obese to still looking obese, but I had the flu last night and woke up a few pounds lighter, and now I think that if I make this round (and lose a few pounds of fat rather than just water) I will begin to notice progress!

That’s so good to hear! Minus the sick part, sorry. I’m waiting for me to look like what the scale says. I know they say it takes months to see results but WHEN!! lol

I made it, whoop whoop! Very happy. These games help me to break down my long term goal into smaller short term goals. Having had a few other weigh-ins the last week also helped. Round two in these Transformers is tough!

How was everyone's Round 1? I struggled during the middle of the month but was able to stay consistent and make it.

Yay, well done! I did okay because I weighed in after Christmas when I had eaten plenty and it really was nice to get back into healthy eating. Round two is going to be more difficult for me. Good luck.

Hi everyone, I hope you are doing well and are on track for the next weigh in. I am nearly there after winning a different game today, but I need to continue eating sensibly because I would put on weight easily right now!

Do we know when we will find out the results? I am so happy to have completed this!! I am so close to my goal weight, I was a little nervous that 4% in 4 weeks wouldn't be attainable, but I did and even lost a little extra!!

I'm thrilled that I won this game quite comfortably. I have some more weigh-
ins coming up and these seem more attainable now. I hope you all are happy with your results. I feel like I need to lose a bit more before I begin to feel slimmer, but this game has helped me on my journey.

I reached my goal even with missing almost an entire week of workouts due to illness. My reason for wanting to lose 4% was to be a little lighter to improve my half hyrox time. I did a half hyrox on Friday and beat my time by 2 minutes and 35 seconds. Little challenges like this are a big motivator! I hope everyone reached their goals! 😀

This is the same for everybody that is overweight or obese like me.
If you lose some pounds and you get off track, you will get them back.

But let's think for a second. People that are taking weight loss medicine like Ozempic are being told, this is a lifelong thing meaning that if you get off the medicine, the pounds will return. So, I am wondering, why should be any different with what we are doing here at DietBet? If you eat better and less and you move and you rest, you will lose weight and keep it off. But this does not sound like a diet, more like a lifestyle.

What do you think?

Sorry, English is my second language and not really sure if my writing is a little weird LOL.

From what I’ve heard, Ozempic type drugs turn off the “food noise” in our brains. But when you go off the drug, the “noise” comes back louder and stronger. I would not want that. I will remain a calories in/calories out type of person trying to make better choices every day. A lifestyle indeed!!

Yolande O.

Yes, I agree that it's a lifestyle change that is needed. I think the change I would benefit from the most is if I stuck to eating three meals a day rather than look for something to eat whenever I think of food.

Get ready for the final weigh-in for Round 2! Once the round ends on Jan 31 at midnight PST, you have until 11:59PM PST on Feb 2 to submit your final weight for the round. Remember that weighing in and winning each round guarantees your maximum payout at the end of the game. Even if you're not a winner, please submit your weight and photos.

Once the weigh-in period begins, you will get a new weigh-in word when you visit the game. Submit early to make sure your photos are accepted, and look for an email that confirms your photos are approved! (If you don't get one, check your spam folder.) You must have an approved weigh-in in order to be declared a winner for this round.

The round will finalize 24-36 hours after all weigh-ins have been submitted. Good luck!
