I joked with my family these weekend about having a gambling addiction. Since the beginning of the year I've joined about 20 different fitness bets. I use the waybetter sites. I've won every bet so far, and just keep joining new ones. Some are super easy (submit a picture of your food log).

Anyone else ever use sites like this? Any other recommendations?

    Yeah, I've been on this site for a while, but just starting to get involved with the community portion.

    I've done several Dietbets and have only missed on one. Lol, but each time I would regain back the 7lbs to 10lbs I lost in a month or two. Except for now where I've lost 40lbs and kept it off. May join another to lose another 4%. I can't do a Transformer because that would put me under what my goal weight would be (165lbs).

    I did a bunch two years ago and was up big, then lost a few last year, so ended up about even. Hoping to get back on the plus side this year. I can still do the transformers, but the ones I'm in now have me getting to under 200lbs. I haven't been under 200lbs since before high school so that should be interesting.

    Hahaha yes, very cool idea for a prank, imagining the faces of your family when you told them that lol.

    Oh yeah, it's hilarious to joke about addiction 🙄
