I am a mom of two wonderful children who keep me on my toes all the time. I have a wonderful husband who is very supportive of me. I work in the schools as a speech-language pathologist, so during the school year I am extremely busy, which sometimes makes it hard to focus on health.

A friend invited me to join her DietBet a short while after my daughter was born. I wanted to lose my baby weight to be healthy and also to look better and feel more comfortable for my daughter's baptism and father's wedding in November 2013. It sounded interesting, I was intrigued and I do like winning money so I signed up.

DietBetter reminds me that I have goals. Many times I have skipped an unhealthy lunch and made a better choice because I want to meet my goals. I am not one that likes to lose money!

My favorite thing about DietBetter is the external motivation of not losing money; it helps me to make the right choices. I wish I could say I always have the willpower on my own, but really, like most people, I don't always have it. I also like to see what others are posting in the game. I have recruited a few friends to DietBetter and keep singing its praises to anyone who will listen. I think it's awesome to win money and get healthy at the same time. I have yet to lose!
