I was so excited when this began and was sure the online community would be a wonderful help. But I never did get the hang of using the online format. So I received zero support for the entire month. I lost a few ounces, which is probably what would have happened had I not joined the DietBet community. I think perhaps this is for younger people who are way more social network savvy than I am. So I've ended up being very depressed and frustrated as I saw zero weight come off and realized I'd completely failed. Will NEVER do something like this again. Oh well, at least I learned that about myself. I'm on my own in this journey.

Sign in to CommentTrudy, I'm so sorry you had this happen. If you join again, we can friend each other.The tech stuff is so overwhelming. My teenage niece and nephew are whizzes, but call me 1989. I wish you the best and again so sorry you had this happen.
Trudy, I'm so sorry you feel that way. Should you change your mind and try DietBet again, please friend me. We can tackle this together.I didn't get encouragement until I posted a picture of my lunch (of all things) and found really neat people who were so kind which made me want to participate more and be encouraging, too! I see you encouraged people but you didn't post anything we could cheer. Whichever you dicide to do, don't give up. I know you can reach your goal.
Trudy, maybe you're my age (55). I wasn't doing anything online until I posted a picture, sort of on a whim, and was really surprised when I got 13 likes. I got excited and then started posting more updates and comments. Maybe that's what needs to happen with you - ?

Trudy P. I'm so sorry to hear that you were unable to navigate the game. I imagine it was less than fun to approach your weight loss without the community that you had hoped you'd have. Please don't give up on your goals. Is there some way you could contact DietBet and figure out how to use the interface? I'm sorry you felt so alone and deserted.
