in Getting Started
Hi all. Are any of you out there doing the Dietbet 10 that just started? I am, it started today. It is a six month program so a marathon instead of a dash. I've connected it to myfitnesspal and to fitbit (I have the One and the Aria scale). Anyway, just looking for anyone else that wants to share the journey. Cheers!:happy: :happy: :wink: :love: :smile:

    I'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!

    i'm not doing the dietbet 10 -- i don't like the way it's structured and feel like i would burn out quickly from stressing over every. single. day. for 6 months -- but i did just complete my first dietbet 4 about two weeks ago. it was a HUGE motivator for me, knowing that i had to really commit or i was out money. plus, i ended up making almost $19 after winning, so... that's a plus in my book. looking for another dietbet 4 [or two...] to join with my winnings, but nothing's standing out to me yet. :/

    I'd love to join! After reading your post, I think I will join a game. This may be the push I need to really get it going.

    Just jumping back over here to say that I ended up joining one! FFTFC's Summer DietBet. It's a $25 bet and already a week in, but I'm pretty confident that I'll be okay dropping 4% in 3 weeks (especially since I did my weigh-in right after eating lunch and drinking two full glasses of water... Oops. The excitement of a new DietBet got the better of me...)

    I just finished a DietBet 4. I had gained back a lot of weight, so it was a good kickstart to get back on track. I was thinking about doing another one, but 4% of your body weight is a lot to lose in 4 weeks. It was a little stressful.

    I'm in one of the 10's, it just ended it's 3rd month and I haven't lost anything! I have 2 months to lose 35 lbs, won't happen I don't think. I thought joining would motivate me but it seems to do the opposite! I already lost two 4's that I joined previously. I joined the 10 thinking I actually had the full 6 months to lose 10%, I didn't read about the structure until after I paid! I might join another one if I can get on a steady consistent pattern of losing lbs.

    Good luck to you!

    I'm in two right now, a 10 (the Transformer that started Jan. 7) and a 4 FFTFC that ends on June 28. :-)

    They both definitely keep me on track, I hate to lose at games. Especially when money is involved.

    Do what I do - use a timer app on your smartphone to set up a timed picture. 15 seconds gives me lots of time to set the phone up and jump on the scale for the full body shot. Cheaper than a mirror :-)

    I've lost about 45 pounds so far this year, with DietBet being a big part of the reason. Feel free to friend me there if you'd like:

    Thanks for the tip. My hubby takes my pics but nice to know about the timer app.

    Wow...you are inspiring! I just signed up for the Transformer starting Nov 4th which is one month before my other one ends. And, I'm in the beginning of a 4 having ended another one before I went on vacation.

    This is the first I've heard of this and I like the idea. Too bad I'm in maintenance right now.

    Good luck!
