I’m slightly obsessive and usually weigh every day, sometimes multiple times a day. I left Sunday on a cruise. I get home next Sunday. I’m trying not to freak out that not only do I not control my food (I do control my choices) I also don’t have a scale. I did think about bringing one but I figured I wouldn’t have good readings on a ship out to sea. I’m fantasizing that when I get home, I not only didn’t gain but I lost 3 pounds and went to the next decade. I know I’m dreaming. I know when I get home I’ll have a harsh wake up. But I’m walking several miles a day, I’m not finishing my meals, I’m drinking my water. Maybe I’ll get lucky. (But I did have a soft serve small ice cream cone at lunch after I had my slice of pork roast, salad and half a chicken breast.

I am almost 39 and I am so upset. I work so hard to lose every pound and then over spring break/ post lent I spent 1 week on vacation and gained 5 pounds and set myself back 3 months! It is such a struggle to lose the weight but it is so easy to gain it back. I have an appointment next week to check my hormones because I think I am hitting perimenopause because 5 years ago it wasn't this hard to lose weight. I am so frustrated that I won't be making my goal for this month and I have to be very strict with my diet for the next month to get back on track. I was so happy with my progress and all of that out the window in 1 week ☹️

- Sleep: The Silent Partner 💤
We focus on steps and snacks, but sleep is the real "silent partner" in your health journey. When you're short on rest, hunger hormones spike and willpower dips. Prioritizing 7–9 hours isn’t just relaxing—it’s a metabolic power move! 🚀
Stay Motivated 🌟
Your body does its best repair work while you’re out cold. To win tomorrow, you have to rest tonight.
Quick Wins:
• Screen-Free: Phone away 30 mins before bed. 📱
• Cool Down: A chilly room helps you drift off faster. ❄
• Be Consistent: Stick to a similar bedtime all week! ⏰

Whether you reached your goal or not, you are still a winner in my book! You committed and put forth the effort towards living a healthier lifestyle. If you replaced one unhealthy habit with a healthy one, or just adopted a new healthy habit, you succeeded.
Be sure to get your final weigh-ins submitted by 11:59 pm (Pacific Time) on April 14th. If you have any trouble at all please reach out to us at support@dietbet.com and we will be happy to help!
Total weight lost is now 1 pound! Average is 0.1 pounds.
The pot is now $315
My scale died and I feel helpless! It uses one of those stupid button batteries and I don’t have any extra. Trying not to spiral from lack of control. It would not be a big deal but today is an in office day.

1.4 pounds left to go. Might have to cut back on weights just to avoid potential water retention with sore muscles. Probably going to put in way more steps.
- Non-scale victory today. So exciting, think Navin Johnson getting his name in the phone book. I was able to get my wedding rings off today for the first time ever in years.
Yikes! 6 days left. I had one week where things did not go so well so now I need to buckle down and lock in to make goal!
