I'm doing the Shayloss Shaytober (a YouTube personality) DietBet - anyone want to join in?? There's not much longer to sign up as the game starts tomorrow. Here's the link: http://diet.bt/169LBC6

If you don't know what DietBet is; you put (for this game) $30 into a pot of money with other players' money (currently at $45,000). If you achieve your goal to lose 4% of your body mass in 28 days you get your money back. Then the money of those who didn't succeed is spread among the winners - so you could actually get paid to lose weight lol. 4% isn't that much, for me it's roughly 10lbs - although I will have to work hard to achieve this at my current rate!

You do have to submit a photo as evidence of your weight, it's all explained on the page - and the photo is never shared or displayed anywhere.

    So cool to find another ShayCarl fan out there! Good luck, I'm nervous that I'm not going to be able to do it haha :p
  • This will be my first time doing it!
    Will I really get my money back if I lose weight? (I'm not so sure if I trust the website because it"s my first atemp..)

    You'll be fine, it's a really well known site. Gillian Michaels endorses it - her current game had something like $250,00 in the pot!
  • I'm doing it too. Will be great to get determined and on track right as the holidays start.
