I agree on the sleep deprivation! I just started the 6-month long "Transformer" DietBet to help incentive me. Anyone else signed up for that?

Kdcosc, we have similar stats - I was 145 and gained 48 pounds during my pregnancy! I've lost just over 20 pounds so far, and my goal is to be back to my original weight by my baby girl's birthday in July. :) I wanted to get to 6 months breastfeeding before I started worrying about weight loss, so just getting back into…

I've "finished" a couple of DietBets now, but I have yet to "win" one. Even so, I find it's a fun motivatotor to get back into an exercise routine when I slump off. I'm not into dieting, but for the duration of the DietBet I commit to exercising every day and making healthier food choices. It helps rebuild those healthy…
