Weightloss.. dietbet?

I tried it last month. It really helps with paying attention to what you eat and gives you motivation to work out. I didn't "win" because I ended up needing surgery two weeks before the bet ended and I wasn't allowed to work out. The first two weeks I did lose 4 lbs though!

My DH and I are doing it! I'm betting on 3 kickstarters and 2 Transformations. My DH is doing one kickstarter. I've already lost 3-4 lbs this week. Now that I'm not planning a wedding, working in the yard to get the wedding ready, etc. I can focus on getting this middle aged body back into shape!

If you make your goal and the majority of people in the game also meet their goal, you may not make a lot of extra money (once diet bet takes out their fee), but I felt like it was an incentive -- I don't want to lose my bets and won't mind at least doubling what I put in. My stepson is doing it as well.

I love diet bet. I cashed out my $450 in winnings for Christmas shopping last year

What is diet bet?

I have never heard of this before

@Jessica it is a site/app where you bet that you can lose x amount of weight. There are two types of bets. You can pay in the fee (about 20 or 30 dollars) and if you lose 4% of your body weight in 4 weeks, you and whoever else in the bet accomplished the 4% weightloss goal split however much is in the pot. The other bet is for 6 months and for more weight.

This is a simple concept that I'm just horrible at explaining. Screenshot for you.

As long as you are going to be engaged in the process I think its a good idea. I've done a few and if you lose the weight you will always get back AT LEAST what you paid and typically a little extra. So if EVERYONE won, they would forfeit their cut, but it can be motivating when there is money on the line.

You can also look at the app PACT. You have to connect a card and say you are going to work out X amount of times per week, and if you don't each of those days will cost you X amount of dollars. The minimum is $5 per day, but you could set it to 1 time per week, and then you win back a very small percentage. I have it set to 3x a week, at $5 per day. So if I only log 2 workouts they charge me $5. If I work out all 3, I get like 50 cents. Helps me to stay on track and there are multiple ways to log workouts (checking in at gym, syncing with a step tracker and getting 10,000 steps or holding the phone while you work out for 30 min of movement). Also, the achievemint app gives you points for healthy things you do and eventually pays out $10 for every so many points. that is something that works more in the background just for syncing with other apps like a food tracker or fitness tracker.

You can also make a challenge. for brides or something like that. I'd totally join one with a bunch of other brides.
