I've almost reached my "peak weight" again after watching myself lose 50lbs back in 2013. I know I will feel better if I can get the weight off again, and because I did it before, I know I can do it again... even if I am almost 6 years older by now!

Well, after last months success what was originally 2 cheat day turned into 4 cheat days and I gained a few pounds back I have to make up and then some for thins month. The craving to have another cheat day is real; but I’m sticking to my plan for lunch today to hopefully get back on track! I’m not sure why it’s so tough to “eat healthy” but it sure is, for me at least!

Here's the thing, brother. You're going to have those cheat days. When those days come, how about you cheat on the cheat days? Don't eat the whole meal—cut it in half. Then, for the next cheat day, cut it in half again until you're not cheating on yourself anymore.

See, using the word "cheat" is such a bad way to look at it. You're addicted to sugar, and sugar will cause you to think things that it's not. You have to wean your body off of it, slowly but surely. That means you have to watch everything you eat.

Try to just put more meat inside of you. Carbohydrates—our body doesn’t really need them. And when those cheat days come, smell it first. Ask yourself, "Does this serve my being?"

I guarantee those cheat days will stop coming.

I felt this comment to my soul! I have also gained a few back since our 1st weigh in, some just slacking off, some has to do with a ton of family stress I'm experiencing right now. So I'm falling into bad habits of eating through my feelings. But now I can at least recognize what I'm doing and try to derail the bad and put myself back onto the right path before I fall down the rabbit hole completely, head first!

I won my first 3 kickstarters so I was a few pounds ahead of this goal… celebrated with food a bit too much but still squeaked by this morning! Still not going to eat until it’s verified just in case, it was too close!

  • Woohoo! My third in a row. (Okay, technically the last one was also today and I used the same weigh-in, but I’m counting it!)

  • Success!!! With a week to go I wasn’t sure if I was going to make it, but squeaked by, by just under a pound. I wish you all a great 2025 and much success! I’m in two of the 6 month ones to keep it going!

How come we can’t weigh in once and use that for 2 games that end the same day? Is that a members only perk?

  • I made it! Cut it close, but I did it! Really happy! Down 12.6lbs through this challenge and down almost 18 from my 2024 peak. 40 more to go this year, I hope! Currently in 2 of the 6 month challenges.
