I've also been under 139lb for three weeks, maintaining this even though I had a minor foot operation a week ago Friday. The referees at DietBet kindly accepted pictures from the morning of my operation for my weigh-in that was due the following Monday-Tuesday, so I qualified for my 6th round as well as won Round 5. I am currently exactly at my DietBet goal weight of 137.2lb,
which is
great but stressful as well, as I don't have any kind of cushion. I can safely say that I've been maintaining at 137lb (also known as a
plateau), but I'm
continuing to try to lose some more weight. I'm leaving for vacation in
4 weeks, I hope to lose another 3+ lbs before then. Then when I put on 5-6lbs on my vacation, I will still be below 140 when I get back. I'm only 2lb away from my goal of 135lb, but with a cushion that goal needs to be 133lb.
I'm considering doing another 6-month DietBet when I get back from vacation, but I'm not sure I could lose 14-15lbs. I'd have to have a 6lb gain, plus drink several glasses of water, eat breakfast, and wear heavy clothes:
Weigh-in: Weigh out:
144lb 129.5lb
143lb 128.6lb
142lb 127.7lb
141lb 126.8lb
A weigh-in of 141lb would be hard, I don't know that I can get down to 126.8lb. If I come back from vacation at 139lb, I can add 5lb in clothes, salt, etc. to get 144lb for the first weigh in.
Since I can't go on any walks, I've been eating low-carb (under 50g/day). Yesterday was my 35th high school reunion, which was lots of fun. There was some steak with a demi glaze and some salmon. I had several helpings of the steak in addition to the fish, and 1.5 glasses of red wine, and this morning I was only .25 higher than yesterday. I'm sure there was a lot of salt in the sauce, so I'm hoping that I'll show a loss tomorrow. I've been slowly shrinking all week, so eating low-carb has been working. I'm giving up my carrots for the next few weeks, except for days I have my beer, like today.
