Gambling Addicition

I_Want_A_Donut

I joked with my family these weekend about having a gambling addiction. Since the beginning of the year I've joined about 20 different fitness bets. I use the waybetter sites. I've won every bet so far, and just keep joining new ones. Some are super easy (submit a picture of your food log).

Anyone else ever use sites like this? Any other recommendations?

That's a cool idea! I like your gambling addiction, LOL. I haven't used a site like this but I probably will now! My best recommendation on here is, collect a few friends, try to post something uplifting every morning, and cheer them on. They'll cheer you on. Pretty soon you'll be looking forward to seeing what everyone is doing and it'll naturally get you into a weight loss/fitness mindset for the day. Built in reminder system plus accountability.

Yeah, I've been on this site for a while, but just starting to get involved with the community portion.

I've done several Dietbets and have only missed on one. Lol, but each time I would regain back the 7lbs to 10lbs I lost in a month or two. Except for now where I've lost 40lbs and kept it off. May join another to lose another 4%. I can't do a Transformer because that would put me under what my goal weight would be (165lbs).

I did a bunch two years ago and was up big, then lost a few last year, so ended up about even. Hoping to get back on the plus side this year. I can still do the transformers, but the ones I'm in now have me getting to under 200lbs. I haven't been under 200lbs since before high school so that should be interesting.
