I first learned of DietBet in 2013 while on maternity leave. A morning news program did a story on it -- so I decided to sign up. I had gained 30 lb during my pregnancy and was eager to shed the weight and throw away the maternity pants. I had a timeline with my sister's wedding that fall to motivate me.
I did great - I participated in three games and lost ~20 lb. I fit into my old pants again. And then I lost momentum.
I went back to work and balancing being a new mom with work and a long commute - it got to me.
I have yo-yo'd up and down - reaching 173 lb. in the fall of 2014. Just 4 lb away from my pre-baby weight. But not nearly as physically fit.
And over the holidays I gained 5 lb back.
I am really good at making excuses and procrastinating. But I have made a commitment to myself to get healthy and get back into a healthy lifestyle.
I had such a huge success with DietBet games two years ago I'm jumping back in. I'm excited to get started!
