I'm a part-time educator and student. I was not where I wanted to be professionally, and I let everything else fall apart, including my health and body. After being fed up with my situation, taking control of my health was the first thing I did to start rebuilding my life. My health was something I could control. It wasn't dependent on someone else's decision. I'm still rebuilding, but I'm starting to think I'm not rebuilding but building a better life than before!

I was introduced to DietBet by the YouTube exercise guru, Blogilates. I thought the idea was fun! I tell my dad if you're going to bet why not do it with something that you can control and better yourself with.

My competitive nature comes out. I don't want to lose-lose with a win-win opportunity (money gained, pounds lost). Plus, it was nice knowing I had a group I could share my advice and struggles with.

My favorite thing is the before & after pictures. I know it's recommended to take pictures of yourself to see your progress, but lets just say I'm not a big fan of the "selfie." The game makes me have to take those pictures and I get to see my progress!

If you have any form of social media, you have no excuse not to join DietBet. It's social media done right. Plus, it's a win-win situation if you dedicate yourself. Money gained, pounds lost!
