    I finished a challenge before starting the Dietbet10. I won my first challenge (and have won the first 2 months for my Dietbet10). I won $17 (over my bet) for my Dietbet4 and have won $32 (over my bet) so far in my dietbet10.

    This is the one I'm currently in: http://www.dietbetter.com/games/27994

    My thoughts have changed as I've been doing this now almost 4 months... I loved it at the beginning, and I've lost 10% of my body weight. My weight loss has now slowed and instead of being happy I still am losing... I beat myself up when I don't lose at a quick enough pace to meet the weigh in goal. My spouse has begged me to stop playing because I am constantly pissed off at the scale (even if my measurements are dropping dramatically)... and in turn get a little short with him ;)

    I wish there was one that was a slower pace of losing. If at this point I lost 1% of my body weight monthly I'd be happy or maintained for a 6 month period.

    I just finished my first DietBet this past Friday 2/28. I paid $20 and got back $34.98. I was happy just to get my money back and lose the weight.
    I really like this way of losing weight, it motivates me in a way I've never been before. Not the winning money part, but not losing MY OWN money. It really motivates you. I used MFP and my FitBit and came in just about a pound under my goal.
    I start my 2nd one this Friday. Problem is...I have been eating terribly ever since I got my payout!
    Oh well, it's a process, have to keep working at it! Glad I found DietBet tho and definitely recommend it! :)

    I agree. Now that I'm closing in on my goal, my weight loss has slowed. However, I lost 35 pounds using that game. Love it and will most likely sign up for another when my current game ends in June.

    I wish there was one that was a slower pace of losing. If at this point I lost 1% of my body weight monthly I'd be happy or maintained for a 6 month period.

    I agree. Need one that you can lose at a slower pace as you close in on your goals.

    Sorry to hear that. Is this thread working? I posted a reply earlier and it didn't add my text.
