I am a wife and mom of three girls. I used to be athletic but, I gained 70 lbs. with my first pregnancy, putting me over 200 lbs. at age 30. I had started my weight loss journey Dec 31, 2012. I found inspiring Facebook pages/groups and 4 months later one of them did a DietBet. I thought it sounded interesting and wanted to try it! I loved it and have done several since! I had a great host for my first game! That's huge! To have such great updates and participation! Loved the ease of using the site And SEEING the progress!! And getting a little cash back for something I was doing anyways! I can't pinpoint one thing that I like the most…I like the updates, the graphics, the visual progress, that the pic/weight can remain private, the sense of community and support that you get from hosts and other players!!! It is NOT a competition-- we all WANT to win and want each other to succeed, too! If you are thinking of trying a DietBet at least give it a try. Especially if it’s a host that you follow or are inspired by. There are all different starting costs, so it can be low or as high as you're willing to pay!
