She also participated in group weight lifting fitness classes and went hiking every 1-2 weeks. By making healthy and consistent lifestyle changes, Cannadog has been able to gradually shed the excess weight.

Staying Motivated

Cannadog has credited her success to having specific and timely goals, which help keep her focused and motivated.

In addition to Diet Bet, she's training for half marathons this summer. Having goals with tangible rewards such as achieving a personal record, finishing a race or winning a bet can help to keep individuals motivated and engaged.
