DietBet Testimonials

"What a difference a year can make thanks to DietBet! One year ago I was a fat lazy blob. For years, I convinced myself that my weight was acceptable because of my height and balanced weight proportion. I reluctantly joined Dietbet at the request of some of my work peers in the competitive eating world. I realized after losing 18 pounds in 28 days, that I had so much more work to do. So, that first DietBet started me on my journey and I have lost 104 pounds in 55 weeks. I am currently doing another DietBet to get off those final 10 pounds. I feel great!

"DietBet worked for me because it was a way to engage myself socially and motivate me while having friendly competition to feel better and become healthier.... and of course look great!

If you are thinking about joining a game, I would tell you to do it! There is no better motivation to lose weight to look great than to win money to buy that new little black dress in a smaller size!

"I joined DietBet when a friend invited me and a few of my other friends/co-workers. I liked the idea of winning the losers money, but I had also been so busy with work and life that I needed the excuse to get in shape because, lets face it, I was overweight. I noticed right away that I was far more energetic, but it wasn't until the whole DietBet group decided to give up drinking that I really started to notice my weight dropping. It astonished me how skipping the weekend scene really did wonders for weight loss, and because the whole group was doing it together we started finding healthy alternatives. I set up a few trips to the batting cages while others set up bike and hiking trips. And none of it came without a little competition, it is a bet after all. I would include in my daily update pictures of cake or links to maps of the best pizza in NYC.

In the end, I lost 12 pounds and split the winning with 2 other people, but at that point I was so happy to have finally made the change in my lifestyle and stuck with it that the cash winnings was just a bonus. I gave all of my winnings, my entry fee and all, to charity.

"[It] was exactly the kick in the pants I needed...I hadn't been on a scale in months, and I had no idea that it had gotten so out of control. In that first DietBet challenge, I lost 17 pounds. I smashed the competition,...and I gave all my winnings to St. Jude's.

It's been 6 months since I started that first DietBet challenge, and I am down 40 pounds...I feel about a million times better than I have in years. For me, these changes were life-changing and possibly life-saving.

"Dietbet was a blessing to me as it really motivated me to keep my weightloss up. I had back surgery in December and was tired of being overweight. Dietbet is the workout buddy and accountability partner I wish I always had. I have now joined two additional Dietbets and think that it will continue to help me in my journey.

"The results speak for themselves. Using DietBet and fighting not to lose my $50 was all the motivation I needed. I found it was easier to resist temptation, and stay focused on my goals. I already signed up for my next challenge, and see DietBet being one of my main tools for losing weight. Thanks for having such a great service.
