I love hosting Diet Bets!
Hosting my own Diet Bet games ups my accountability by leaps and bounds. I remember how nervous I was when I hosted my first Diet Bet game back in June 2013. I wasn't sure what to do, but a few days later I was posting Diet Bet affirmations on a daily basis and offering encouragement and motivation to my fellow team members. I've now hosted 10 Diet Bet games and have been named a Master Diet Bet coach!
I enjoy Diet Bet games which have really active hosts.
I can't tell you how many DB games I've been in where the host just sets up the game, encourages everyone to invite their friends and then you don't hear another word from them for the entire 28 days. I understand that some of the big time celebrity game hosts, just don't have the time to read and comment on all the posts, but it would be nice every now and then to pop in just to let us know you're still alive.
Okay, so I might be an overly involved Diet Bet host - I guess that's why I have an exceptionally high win-rate.
The participants in my games are usually super motivated. I read every comment and am constantly posting. If I didn't want to be involved in the game, I wouldn't bother to host them. It helps also when the DB host is an actual participant. Losing 80 lbs has been a great adventure. It's an ongoing battle though to keep the pounds off, so I can really relate to my game participants, because I've been there, done that, and still doing it!
I've just been on vacation since the end of May. I was very close to my goal weight of 125 lbs, but now I'm about 25 to 30 lbs away instead of 10 lbs away. That's what happens when you take some time off from Diet Betting and find yourself eating out at fast food places and restaurants. The weight really flies back on. I'm starting back with Diet Betting on Aug. 12 because I will be back to my normal routine.
I'm also hosting a new Diet Bet game which starts on Aug. 12, "It's No Sin 2 Be Thin" Aug/Sept.

Sign-ups for this $25 game are currently underway. Weigh ins begin August 10 and 11. It will be great to be hanging out with my Diet Bet friends again and making new friends! I love the Diet Bet community!
