Expert  1244   |  Subject: Diet BetHas any one done one of these? It is a site where you bet that you will lose a % of weight by a deadline. I just did one for 29 days and had to lose 4%. There is a new one starting tomorrow and it has over $90,000 in the pot. This one is 6 months long so a much longer commitment, I think I am going to try it out. |

Master 2504 Southwest Iowa | Subject: RE: Diet Bet How exactly does it work and who is checking the scales? It would be too easy to cheat the system, just to win the money. |

Expert 1244 | Subject: RE: Diet Bet you have to take a picture of you on the scale and a picture of your weight. You get emailed a code word when you are to weigh in. I agree that there could be some cheating, but if they feel that there is a questionable weigh in they make you why in live via skype. You put in a set amount of money, the one I am doing is $25 per month for 6 months. A total of $150 and you have to lose 10% of your body weight over that time period. There are more detailed restrictions, like goals for each month on their site. You also cannot lose more than a certain % either. I reached the goal for the 29 day one this morning so will know how much I made of that soon. (the pot was only $250 though) |

Champion 10018 , Minnesota Bronze member | Subject: RE: Diet Bet I am doing my second one now. I did one that started in January and it was easier because most of the weight I gained over the holiday was superficial. My first weigh in was spectacularly bad - the only time in my life I was happy to see a highish weight |
I squeaked in at the end, and I had already signed up for another. It's a huge pot. I really don't think I am going to make it this time, I have 15 days to lose more than 5 lbs. Oops. I need to make more changes to my diet to make it, and apparently I am not willing. However, I have felt pretty motivated and I am glad to have something positive to work towards. I have been working out a lot more, and I put on muscle pretty easily. So, if I am not gaining weight I am definitely losing fat. | 2014-02-23 7:33 PM in reply to: BikerGrrrl |
Expert 1244 | Subject: RE: Diet Bet OK I ended up signing up for another 4% one. It starts tomorrow and is only $35. I could not commit to the $150 one at this time. Let me know if anyone is doing it too. I am doing the TAJ's winter blast one |

I blew my bet this month, so I am going to take a little break for a while from the betting. |

| Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Diet Bet I'm doing a spring one, just started last week. This is my first time using DietBet, so I'm not sure what to expect but I hope it helps inspire me to stay on track and lose some weight. For some reason it gets harder and harder to do. |
