Left was taken this past Christmas at my highest weight, right was taken last night.
Hey, team. Good job on all your successes and efforts. I visit this sub multiple times a day to find encouragement, motivation, and knowledge. You're all so wonderful!
I started losing weight after a bonkers number of failed attempts for well over ten years now. I should add a lot of these attempts were pretty ridiculous, unhealthy, and entirely unsustainable. Juicing is not for me. Eating 500 calories per day for WEEKS is not for me. (That was a really bad time.) No refined sugars ever was not for me.
On March 20 I joined a dietbet and haven't looked back since. There have been countless hiccups along the way. I'd have weekends where I would not put a single naturally occurring food item in my mouth, but I always found my way back pretty quickly.
If you don't know what Dietbet is, basically you bet real money you can lose 4% of your weight in a month. I've made over $300 doing it because I join (and win!) a lot of games.
Dietbet has been a huge motivator. I'm a cheap student, so losing money because I like noodles too much just isn't an option. I've cut my junk food and meat intake almost entirely (except those pesky weekends...) and upped my produce intake a lot. I've been drinking boatloads of water and learning to understand what my body needs and when. I don't need to eat if I'm not full. If I think I'm hungry, I drink water. Most times in between meals it's just thirst tricking me.
I hit the gym sometimes, but mostly not. If I do, I tackle the stairmaster. Eek! I used to do really well at going to the gym, but three jobs and a course this summer has made me a bit lazy with it.
I think in the near future I need to start tracking my food. I haven't at all during my journey, but I know it would be beneficial. Especially seeing everyone's successes here with it.
I just wanted to share my progress with this community who helps keep me on track. Keep trucking. You're all so amazing. One day, one hour, one minute at a time, friends!
