December Challenge – “Don’t Wait for 2018” DietBet

November 29, 2017 by Ajima Jackson 14 Comments

december 2018 dietbet

We all want to avoid holiday weight gain. All the office parties, alcohol and calorie rich food means lots of temptation, but your weight loss journey doesn’t have to be put on hold. You can keep making progress. You don’t have to wait for 2018 and New Year’s resolutions. Join our December Challenge today. The fun starts on Dec 7th!

Step 1: Join our December DietBet for some serious motivation and incentive! – The bet is $30 and we are pledging to lose 4% of our weight in 28 days – Dec 7th – Jan 3rd.

A DietBet is like an office weight loss pool. Everyone who reaches the 4% goal splits the pot. In our October DietBet, participants lost more than 1200 pounds combined and the pot was $5550! We want to make the December pot even bigger! Get the full details and Sign Up today! – The initial photo weigh-in takes place Dec 5th-7th.

Bonus Stakes Giveaway: We are doing 3 giveaways during this month’s DietBet.

  • Dec 14th – One lucky participant will get 30 DietBet Points
  • Dec 24th – One lucky participant will get one $30 Amazon GiftCard (via email)
  • Jan 1st – One lucky participant will get one $30 Amazon GiftCard (via email)

You must be signed up to participate in the DietBet and weighed in by Dec 12th 11:59pm PST to be eligible for the giveaways. Winners will be chosen at random.

Step 2: Commit to 3 simple lifestyle changes from Dec 7 to Dec 30th.

  • Make water your main beverage – Drink at least 64 oz of water each day.
  • Stop drinking high calorie drinks – Don’t drink extra calories. No soda and no store bought juice/tea. (Exceptions: no sugar added juice and cold pressed juice) Instead we will drink…
    • Herbal Tea with Natural Sweeteners
    • Freshly made juice
    • No sugar added juice
    • Water infused with tea, mint, fruit, etc…
    • Fresh, homemade smoothies
  • Limit/manage your carb intake: Keep your carbohydrate intake at 100-150 grams a day or less. (That’s 400-600 calories of carbs per day) Carbs can get out of control during this time of year. Not just from sweets, pasta or bread, but also from alcohol. Don’t forget to count all liquid calories. We suggest that you use an app to track your carb intake. Some great options are SparkPeople, MyFitnessPal or LoseIt.

NOTE: If you already have a daily goal for carbs and that goal working for you, keep doing what you are doing. You know your body and your needs. If you are already living the low carb or ketogenic life, your carb count is likely much lower than 100 grams, so you are all set. If you are vegetarian or vegan, focus on eating 80-100 grams of plant-based protein each day.

Step 3: Leave a comment below and let us know what your weight, health and/or fitness goals are for December.

Sign up today! – Our December Challenge starts on Dec 7th
