Dietbet Transformer

Has anyone participated in one of the 6 month transformer games on DietBet? The idea is to pledge money every month, and if you lose 10% of your starting weight by the end of 6 months, you'll win your money back and then some.

I'm 19 days into it now, and I'm less than a pound away from my round 1 goal. Is anyone else participating in this game? http://www.dietbetter.com/games/42085

If you've done other DietBet games before, I'd love to hear how they went!

    II'm in 3 of the DB10's and 3 of the DB4's, plus running a few of my own DB4's. I find all the games and the money on the line is a great motivator! I've earned several hundred dollars on the site so far this year and lost a nice amount of weight!

    Yes, I've been using DietBet since September 2013. I have done one 6 month game and the rest have been 4 week games. It's been great motivation for me. I just finished up a 4 week game on July 10th. My next game will start mid-August. I'm taking a break because my daughter will be visiting me early August and I don't want to be worried about my weight while she's here. I wouldn't be where I am today without the support I get here and on the DietBet website.

    I've done a 4 week and now doing a 6 month. I really like them both. I'm in the 2nd month of the 6 month and doing well. I'm finding lots of support on DB10 (6 mo) and have found loads of folks to check in with for accountability and support. I recommend a 6 mo if you feel you need longer term support. AND the goal changes as you go along and each month is a new round - keeps it interesting. Hope that helps!
