DietBet

 For those of you who are working on a healthier lifestyle, have you heard of DietBet? I heard of it a while back and looked into it but never joined.

What is Dietbet? Its a place where people (regular people or "famous" people) set up a bet. A bet to lose 4% of your body weight in a set time. (Example- Aug 26-Sept 24) The creator sets a bet limit that each person who joins the bet pays. At the end of the bet, whoever their 4% gets a share of the money pot. 

I finally joined a DietBet. Our bet is only $10 a person. Right now our pot is up to $280. Say only 2 people lose their 4% then they get $140 each. If you are the only person who makes it to 4% loss, you get all $280!! At the very least, if everyone loses the 4%, Ill get my $10 back. We start tomorrow and I am excited!! I will hold my ass accountable this time.. 

Oh you might wonder how they keep people from cheating? They are watching you, Big Brother style! ;) J/K They give you a secret word that you have to write on a paper and place by your scale, you have to take a full length picture of you standing on the scale and a picture your feet on the scale with the secret word next to it. You do this at weigh-in and weigh-out. If they feel someone is cheating, they have alternatives to the weigh-in/outs. Like via video or skype. So no cheating! 

If you have done a DietBet, how did you do? What did you think of it? Will you do it again? How much did you win? :)
