Hei there
I just started my first diet bet.
Has anyone done it before? Anyone who shares their experience? (https://www.dietbet.com)
Thanks!

I've done a couple. Very motivating. Holding off for now because I'm slowing my loss a bit.1

i don't like the idea of betting money with complete strangers to lose weight. i'd rather bet $ with co-workers. at least i know them and see them everyday.0
-
I do it every now and then. I enjoy it. Don't expect to win a lot of money lol. I usually enter two or three of the $30 contests at one time and the winnings are usually double the initial bet, though one time the prize was only 50% of the buy in.1

Wouldn't work for me, I don't find weight loss competitive but then I've no interest in gambling full stop. If it's your nature maybe a good thing. I also would never win because my weight loss is in fits and starts due to how much natural fluctuation I have.0

I've done one. It doesn't work for me - I can't lose weight that quickly.0
-
I'd rather compete over things I can control (workouts, steps) rather than things I can't (scale weight).1

Yes! I love it. I have done 7 (I think) and found them really helpful. I won an office biggest loser game and wanted to keep it going. Was able to make $96 that I used to buy new clothesand lost 60lbs(of the 106lbs I've lost total). As I've gotten smaller, it's getting harder. Taking a break to focus on activity instead of getting to a specific weight. Definitely recommend it!2 -
I started my first in January. I've done one a month since. I've won everyone one.3
-
I'm just finishing my first one - I have .6 pounds to go in two weeks. It is kind of exciting! I am considering doing it monthly. It is motivating for me! But I know I'm in the beginning of my weight loss stage so the pounds come off easily at first. I might try one of the long term ones that last 6 months.1

I've done two kickstarters in the past (and won, but regained). Now I'm in a Transformer, and just finished Month 4. I've just barely made it every month, and have won (with a $25/month pay in and half that money going to the last payout): $12,60, $19.71, $24.85. This month is still finalizing.
Personally, I love it.0 -
Last year I did a several Kickstarters (1 month - 4%) and one transformer (6 months - 10%), it was fun and motivating. I especially like taking other people money.
I probably saw a 40% return of money. I didn't lose money except body fat. I saved the money for a new wardrobe, but ended up spending the money on emergency repairs to my truck.
It does help if you have a good idea on how to lose weight in a healthy manner. You can be motivated all you want but if you struggle with your diet and/or exercise it's not worth it.2 -

I've never done Diet Bet - because by the time I heard about it I was pretty close to maintenance. I just finished/won my first 2 Step Bets though. And I'm thinking about doing the Maintenance Bet.2 -
Never done it but it looks like a cool idea!0
-
Yes, I plan to get on a Maintenance Bet as soon as my Transformer is done. It will help keep me accountable.1
-
I just entered my FIRST! Starts today! I still have at minimum 25 pounds to lose. So as long as my mind stays on track I should be good for this month!1

Some family members and I just finished what we called 10-10-10. Everyone puts in $10 and the goal is to lose 10 pounds in 10 weeks. Whoever loses 10 or more pounds gets to split the pot of money. We figured it was a decently short amount of time and a reasonable weight loss goal.
I missed out - I only lost 8.5 pounds! >:(0 -
I do StickK.com -- it sounds similar.
you make a commitment goal and put up $$ and if you don't succeed it goes to either someone you pick - or an ANTI-CHARITY .. it motivates me, I do a 15 day commitment, and then take a few days off and then do another one.0 -
I created a $20 dietbet if anyone is interested in joining! http://dbet.me/Z29Qbs0
