It took me a couple weeks to decide to join Diet Bet as the idea of losing money when I was trying to save money was scary! I knew that this time around I was serious and that I needed to make a change. I even talked it over with another friend that was always trying to lose weight with me, she told me that I shouldn't do it unless I knew I was going to stick to it. She knew me and my patterns so well. I knew she was trying to sound supportive, but that she didn't think I'd be able to do it. So, I signed up for my first bet, for only $10, in secret, lost the weight, and won without telling anyone about it (other than my husband). I've kept going and have lost 35 lbs so far. I know that this idea of betting $ is what got me started, but the community and support from the other players is what really has me hooked. It's all the things that I've been missing in my real life!
