I’m a stay-at-home wife and mom to an energetic little boy who loves to be on-the-go daily. I gained 60 pounds with my pregnancy and with a lack of sleep and exercise as well as bad eating habits for the first 9 months of my son’s life I found myself at my highest weight ever, 205 pounds. I tried finding the motivation to get back to eating healthy and exercising, as I was accustomed to prior to my pregnancy. Because I had been in shape in the past, I knew what I needed to do to lose weight; I just couldn’t find that motivation.

It changed for me at the end of March 2014, when a group of friends decided to start a DietBet. I had never heard of DietBetter so I was interested in learning more. I started with a 4-week bet and I was instantly motivated. I don’t know if it was more wanting to win or not wanting to fail in front of others but it ignited a spark in me. I knew once I got started and seen the weight coming off it would keep me going. I not only won my first DietBet but I lost 13 pounds doing it, double win. After I won my first DietBet I wanted to keep that motivation going so I joined several more 4-week bets. About every two weeks I would start a new one. Then I decided to try a 6-month DietBet, I liked it so much that I joined 2 more.

I like DietBet games because you not only get a chance to make some cash you are also losing weight which is a win-win for me. You get a lot of support from others who are in the same situation as you are so they can relate to your struggles and temptations. I have recommended friends to join a DietBet if they are lacking some motivation or need a little support along their weight loss journey or if they just want to make a little extra cash. For me it’s the best $25 bet I’ve ever made because I not only got my money back plus some, I got my life back.
