How do you verify the weight loss?
For all official weigh-ins, you'll be prompted to submit your official starting weight. Our standard weigh-in process involves you submitting 2 photos: one of you standing on a scale in lightweight clothing (no shoes, hats, belts, watches, coats, or outerwear), and another of the scale’s readout with your weigh-in word written on a piece of paper.
What you'll need
- A scale (preferably digital)
- A digital camera or smartphone
- A full-length mirror or someone to take your photo
Does this actually work?
Out of 1,586 DietBetters, 62.67% have lost weight during their challenges. Combined, they've lost 11,426 lbs and won $243,621. In other words...yes.

"I loved the motivation from the other players, it wasn't about the money..."
Read MoreOver the past 11 years I have been married to an amazing man who is soon to be retired from 20 years in the Air Force. I had 2 amazing kids and I gained 110 pounds. Two years ago I realized I wasn't losing the weight on my own. I went to the doctor and found I had a Hiatal hernia, due either to my high weight increase or pregnancies. I had to have surgery to fix it. That made me get serious, I did not want it to slip and ha...

"I have peace of mind knowing that physically I can do almost anything that I want, and that my weight is no longer holding me back."
Read MoreThe moment I knew I needed to lose weight was in 2013, when I was living in Florida and went to Orlando with my wife and daughter. When I took my daughter to the theme parks, I knew I’d never be able to fit in any ride, and when we picked oranges in the groves I felt like I was going to have a heart attack. But the worst moment was on the way home, when we stopped at a diner. I sat down at the booth and it was so pain...

"Who doesn't love getting paid to lose weight? No, seriously though…"
Read MoreI found out about DietBet from friends. I had gained about 46 pounds while pregnant with my son, and I still wanted to lose some weight from my previous pregnancy. I couldn’t wait to start DietBet and joined shortly after my son was born. While I have always enjoyed working out, I found it difficult to get back into the swing of things, having two children under the age of 2 and recovering from both pregnancies. I fou...

"Without DietBet I never would have gotten this close to my high school weight."
Read MoreI joined dietbet towards the end of April 2013. I had just lost 50 pounds and I was terrified that I would gain all the weight back and more. As I was trying to find a way to stay motivated my prayers were answered. My local paper ran an article on DietBet and I immediately signed up for 5 games (the max at that time). Since joining DietBet I have done and won 25 games. I have gone from a size 20 pant size to a size 6, and ...

"I use the money to buy nice treats for myself."
Read MoreI have lost about 93 pounds with DietBet. I learned about it from fellow Weight Watchers members and a friend online. Dietbet works for me because I really enjoy the motivation and support that I get from the other players. Everyone helps each other stay on track because they are all working towards the same goal. Sometimes I want a Hershey bar but I go to the DietBet site instead because I know the other players have my ba...

"DietBet has completely reenergized me!"
Read MoreMy 60th birthday passed and I was 100 pounds overweight. Even though I thought that it would be hard and/or impossible to lose that amount of weight at my age, I began a weight loss and exercise program that helped me shed 50 pounds in 4 months. When I started to feel healthier my motivation started to fade. That's when I discovered DietBet through a Facebook friend. DietBet has completely reenergized me! Through a series o...

"I weigh less now than I did one year after gastric bypass. I am at a weight I never, ever thought I would ever obtain."
Read MoreI have always struggled with my weight, and in September 2003 I underwent gastric bypass surgery. I did very well for several years after the surgery, but when tough times hit I began emotional eating. I slowly re-gained 50 pounds. In November of last year I decided that I did not want to lose everything I had worked so hard for so I decided to take charge. I found Dietbet online and knew instantly it would work for me. The...

"The support of friends kept me motivated and got me through the tougher times. See Sara's story on CNN"
I have been overweight from adolescence to adulthood. I have tried multiple diets from fad diets to Weight Watchers, all with varying degrees of success. After my 34th birthday I realized enough was enough, I needed to change my eating and exercise habits. I knew that I would need support if I were going to create good habits to replace the bad habits I had created over the last few years.Read More

"DietBet works for me because it gives me a constant goal to work towards."
Read MoreI am one of those people whom have tried pretty much every diet or gimmick under the sun. The problem was when I did lose weight I would stop the program and gain the weight back. I went to visit my cousin who had much success with DietBet, and had suggested I give it a try. This time I vowed to lose weight without fad diets. DietBet works for me because it gives me a constant goal to work towards. The other players in the ...

"I am down to a weight I haven’t seen in almost 30 years."
I joined DietBet in the beginning of January in 2013, and I was skeptical at first, thinking that it might have been a scam and not worth the time or money. Boy was I wrong! I have lost 60 pounds since joining Dietbet and am down to a weight I haven’t seen in almost 30 years and certainly never thought I would ever see again. I enjoy the fact that I can do DietBet on her own time, while it appeals to my competitive nature it ...Read More -

""
Read MoreI joined DietBet when a friend invited me and a few of my other friends/co-workers. I liked the idea of winning the losers money, but I had also been so busy with work and life that I needed the excuse to get in shape because, lets face it, I was overweight. I noticed right away that I was far more energetic, but it wasn't until the whole DietBet group decided to give up drinking that I really started to notice my weight dr...

""I am on my 10th dietbet game right now and have lost 96 lbs to date and will hit that 100 lb mark here soon.""
Over the years I have tried dieting and have failed over and over through many different attempts of going to the gym or doing workouts in my basement all alone. Only a couple months after my son was born I decided that I wanted to be the dad that he deserves. After plumping up to 335.8 lbs it was time for a change. I heard about dietbet through a YouTube channel and thought I would give it a try. I am on my 10th dietbet game ...Read More -

"It's not a diet its motivation and accountability!"
I have been married for 25 years, and we have both always been on the larger side. I have always loved being outdoors and hunting. I usually go hunting several times a month and last year I was only able to go 4 times, due to my weight getting in the way. My wife and I decided to join DietBetter because we heard about it from Chris Powell. I also got my daughter and her husband to join.Read More

"I was so surprised by the amount of the payouts in the end!"
Read MoreI’m a full-time nurse, mother of 2 daughters & wife of 19 years. In the past I have tried almost every 'diet' under the sun. A few years ago I'd joined a local ladies gym and I'd even lost a pretty good amount of weight while my husband was serving overseas; but my reasons for doing it were not the right ones. As soon as he returned I gained all of it back plus some.

"DietBet worked for me because it was simple."
Read MoreI am a mom and have been married for 19 years. I own a chocolate business, and became a Certified Health Coach this year.
I started DietBet because I was starting a new weight loss program for the umpteenth time, and I thought the more accountability the better. I always said if someone paid me to lose weight, I could do it, so I wanted to see if that was really true or not. For me it really did help with the m... -

I've always loved weight loss challenges and find them very motivating. Unfortunately, there were never any local ones that weren't attached to a weight loss program that I wasn't interested in using. Also, most challenges have 1-2 winners and the rest are finan... -
