Lift or cardio for the last week? I've been following the calendar which I love, but with all the lifting, I think I'm hurting myself when it comes to this challenge. I lost 2% in the first week by just cutting back significantly on carbs and sugar, and have since been fluctuating up and down, but no more than one extra pound down. I think part of the problem is all the lifting is building muscle, causing me to lose less weight as I lose fat. I'm wondering if I should switch to all cardio for the homestretch to try to avoid adding more muscle but still burn a lot of calories. I hate to change up the schedule - I like having direction - but I also love my Supernatural workouts and if I get up early enough, I'll do long ones.

I'm in the same boat. I'm putting on more muscle weight than losing fat weight. I'll take the DietBet loss if I get the healthy win.

Gooood morning and happy first day of your 2026 Fat Blast!

Firstly, regarding this morning’s live workout…I know weekdays are tough to get a time where people can join due to work, school and all the other adult obligations. So, I am going to push today’s Live to this Saturday 1/10 @ 10am CST. I think then we will be able to accommodate more people to join!

The first live Q&A will also be this next weekend on Sunday 1/11 (time TBD), where we can discuss how the first week went, and I can answer any questions y’all have.

Now, let’s go smash day one’s workout and crush this game!!👊?💙

Good morning
Just received confirmation that my weigh in as been accepted and I’m officially in. I also noticed that my membership is good for a month - will all the details of the challenge definitely be complete before the membership expires in 30 days? I’ve never done this before? Thanks in advance for your replies!

Wait, so that extra $5 was only for a month?

  • So even if it says membership date here is Feb 1 but weight out is Feb 2 - still good?

Happy Weigh-in Weekend! Hopefully by now, everyone has saved and looked over the workout calendar (if that’s the one you’re doing) and all of the super helpful nutrition information. Remember, these next four weeks will work if you take the time to prep, plan and focus on making the needed changes. Don’t be scared…this is all about finding those healthy changes in your day to day that will help you accomplish your goals and turn into long-term, consistent, healthy habits!💪
