1. What made you join this DietBet 10? I'd never done one of these before and I like accountability and motivation, so here I am. 2. Where do you live? Have you lived there all of your life? I like in Oak Harbor, Washington, on beautiful Whidbey island. I've been here less than three months. I was in San Jose, California…

Hey, found some almosts but no twin yet! I'm 26, a virgo (lol) H: 5'6" SW: 194 CW: 172 GW: 135

That's awesome, I hope you reach your goal weight during this DietBet! The 10% Will bring me just under half way to my goal. I anticipate that I could lose all of my additional weight by August but if I at most make 10% I will still be happy. So long as I continue to make progress and I'm eating healthily, I think it's…

Haha, well I'm in, AND I learned something new :)

I just joined tomorrow's competition as well. I'd never heard of this. Should be fun though!

I have grapheme synesthesia, meaning I associate a specific color with every letter, number, day of the week, and month.

Why did you get punched by a nun!? And was this all in one incident?

I think it's a lot simpler than that. If you can cross your eyes, you can do this. Think about it, when your eyes are crossed, your right eye is looking left. If you decided to go from crossed eyed to looking left, your right eye will not have to move (staying "crossed"). You can practice with going from crossed to looking…

I'm 5'6", trying to lose a bit over 50 lbs. looking to find and give support. I'm at 186 at the moment.

One of my most favorite lower calorie snacks that I find really delicious is peeled sliced Cucumbers with lime juice on them and chili powder with a little salt. Not sure where you are but it's best with a mexican chili powder called pico de gallo. Might be too much work to track down for tonight, but if you ever come…

I enjoy gin with seltzer water and lime. Less calories than vodka (at least the gin I had was less calories than my favorite vodka).

Maybe, at the party, think of how great you'll feel tomorrow if you don't have that cookie tonight. Sometimes thinking about the future when faced with those temptations can be a great motivator!

I think they are referring to the lack of courtesy from people who are offering sweets etc. You can't blame them for wanting to share. It's nice of them, but it seems that some people need to realize that "No means No" applies to food as well.

I agree that it is hard to try to eat right at work. It feels like every day someone has donuts or bagels they want to share. I do the best I can to turn things down. The worst is when I say that I'm trying to eat healthy and they act as if eating a donut or a big fat cookie won't derail my progress. I think that reaction…

What kind of exercise are you currently doing?
