Hello fellow MFPers!

I was having some real trouble getting motivated and staying motivated until I was invited to join a friend's DietBet Challenge several months back. I wasn't sure what it was so I clicked it out of curiosity and I am so glad I did!

DietBet is a great motivational tool to keep you on track for your weight loss goals!

A player (in this case ME) creates a game and a start date (in this case, next Monday July 22nd!) and they set an entry fee (in this case a measly $10!). Players join the game, pay the entry fee and DietBet verifies all starting and ending weights so nobody can cheat! The challenge runs for four weeks and all you have to do is lose 4% of your starting weight in 4 weeks! It's not that hard. For example...even if you weighed 500 lbs, that would mean you'd only have to lose 20 lbs...or 5 lbs per week!

Everyone who is at their goal of 4% of their starting weight lost at the end of the 4 week challenge, wins an equal share of the total prize pool cash! The more people who play, the bigger the cash prizes for everyone who meets their goal!

It's nice because we're not competing to beat each other. We motivate each other and help each other succeed! They even give us a private Facebook type page for each game to share our posts, pics, thoughts, recipes, etc. Very helpful!

I figure that MFPers would be a great group to participate! This will be my 5th DietBet Challenge that I have run and I plan to keep running them monthly!

You can use whatever weight loss method you prefer (except surgical methods) and by meeting a very attainable short-term goal, you can earn yourself a nice cash reward at the end!

So...if you'd like to join my July Challenge...and build the pot, I'd love to have you as part of the Challenge and feel free to invite your friends to play! The more the merrier!

FINAL WEEK to enter my July DietBet Challenge! Only $10 to enter and all you have to do is lose 4% of your starting weight in 4 weeks! It's fun and you can win some cash! Everyone who meets their goal wins a share of the total money prize pot! The more people who enter..the bigger the pot!

Enter NOW! We start next Monday!

Cheers!
