I’ve done keto off and on for a few years and was down 30lbs average from the start. I’d be able to maintain keto for a month or so and then have something (work dinner/HH, holidays/vacation ) knock me off.
I changed it up this year and put some money down through healthywage.com. I pledged $100 a month for 6 months to get $1,240 back if I lose 40lbs. I also did 3 6% lost in 3 months challenges that paid about $85 for $60 wagered.
Started keto in January and got back to the gym more regularly (~3 times a week). Hit 30lbs lost beginning of March, but gained some back with a March madness Vegas trip and cheating on the weekends. I’m back to my low weight today and think I should be able to hit the 40lb mark pretty easily by the late June weigh-in.
The key difference for me this year is the cash. I expected it to be a motivator, but it’s working better than expected. It’s easier to get back to diet and exercise knowing there’s a goal with money on the line. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for more incentive to change.
