weight loss ladies/dietbet

[jaime183]

July is going to be my month. It has to be. I need to lose weight, not just for vanity sake (I am unhappy with the way I look) but I just had bloodwork come back that says I need to lose weight (high triglycerides, fatty liver, pre-diabetic).

I'm rejoining weight watchers and actually going to stick with it this time. I need to.

A friend of mine started a dietbet starting July 4 (weigh in July 2-3) with a buy-in of $10 to lose 4% in 4 weeks. If you are interested in joining us here's the link: diet.bt/16t82mQ

Good for you girl! I've been doing WW since mid April and I am down 16 pounds from my pre Blake weight (I still have a ways to go). It is seriously the only way that I have ever been able to lose weight in a healthy manner.

Way to go! I'm still doing ww and I've lost 49lbs with it! I'm down 73 from my baby weight and I'm 33lbs lighter than my pre-baby weight. It works!

WOW dojo I'm so proud of you. such an inspiration. I'm going to start in July but i am going to be in touch with you. I need all the tips!
I've been successful at WW in the past and been lifetime for awhile but since i stopped pumping I cant stop gaining weight.

How does a dietbet work?

this is my first time but a bunch of my friends have been doing them. you join a group of people online and bet in a certain amount (this is for $10 but most are $25-100). You bet that you can lose 4% in 4 weeks. If you do, you split the pot with everyone else who does. If not, you are out your bet.

you can join some huge groups or small ones.

This is a cool thing!!! I may join you guys if that's ok!

[jaime183]

Yes! Please do the more the better

I've heard about this, it a cool concept!

[chasbride07]

careyalis & dojo - you are both awesome! I had been on WW back last year was down 8 lbs from my pre-baby weight with DS 2 and almost to my pre-baby weight from DS1 and gave up then gained back a ton between weaning, work stress, and a kitchen reno.

I just started back a couple weeks ago and I'm down 3 lbs so far.

The dietbet sounds like an awesome idea!

[Regina Philange]

I'll do it!

[oso]

I joined!

I'd like to join, but I'll be traveling from this Friday until July 10th, so I won't have a consistent scale. 4% is about how much I've puffed up recently.

they are really picky about the weigh ins (they should be since they are taking people's money) there is only a 2 day window in the beginning and end and you have to submit a picture of your scale with a "code word" next to it.

maybe next time though! have a fun trip

So i am on vacation july 17 to the 21st.

I don't know if i should do this or not because the vacation will seriously set me back. I'm still debating though.

I'm going to do the dietbet even though I'll be traveling for 12 days in July- and back to PA where there's so much junk food!
