It was just over a year ago (April 2014) I joined my first dietbet challenge after my weight "crept" to over 181#'s . It was a 1 month, 4%, $30 challenge . Enough to encourage me, but not overwhelm me. Competitive in nature, I succeeded. A few months later, I did another, then another. I succeeded in losing the weight, I mean 1 month, I can handle that!
I was, however, scared to do a 6 month,10% challenge. That is a commitment! A lifestyle change! But I sucked it up and took the challenge. Here I am, midway through that challenge, I feel so much better (I think I look a little better too). That alone is enough incentive for the rest of the challenge (ok, the money helps too)...that and the fact that within the year I have lost over 33 pounds and by the end of this challenge I will have lost close to 40 pounds. Thank you dietbet! (and Kellie P for introducing me to dietbet)
