Hi, is my understanding correct in that we have 48 hours to submit our final weight? I live in Australia and make myself a bit confused. April 24th at12:01 for me am is actually April 23rd for PDT (6:01 pm) I am 17 hours ahead. So…does this mean I have until April 26th at 6:00 pm (my time)? That would be Friday I think?
Anyone out there (smarter than me) with a mind for numbers? Thanks ahead of time .

Re: my win for Round 3....Look, I don’t think I will “win” most popular comment with this statement….but what the hell. DietBet is a bit of a scam and the owners are making an enormous amount of money from us. Imagine almost a million dollars claiming interest in a pot for 6 months…. and then DietBet owners take an enormous percentage for themselves at the end…..
But… the incentive for me is betting on myself to not lose my money which (like most if you), I work so damn hard for). This external control mechanism has helped me keep my focus so for that I am grateful. But… any delusional fantasies I had about making decent money from this over-marketed process has been crushed. Mostly because all of us are doing so well . A strange reality but rather fascinating. I don’t want any of us to fail so I guess that is the cost of not making any profit. At the end of the day, we do win more by losing our weight and becoming healthy. I’m guessing by the time we considered this weird diet-betting process, most of us have tried most anything else. At least that is true for me..so I am (in a qualified way) grateful. I do think the coaches are lovely and I like the way we receive inspiration. Dieting can be a lonely and frustrating "gig" and somehow Dietbet has helped me stay focused. I may be sounding a bit contradictory so my apologies. I have struggled with my weight for almost all of my adult life and I am finally 2 kg shy of my goal weight (which is a loss of about 75lbs or 34kg). Certainly, the incentive not to lose the bets I have made kept me a bit "OCD" for the last 20kg and I am pleased with the results. Just have to keep the weight off. As a final comment, I wonder about a dietbet game that supports "maintenance over say, 6 months to a year"? In other words, we win when we don't gain but this would only make sense for people who have lost the amount in the first instance. I would sign up for that. Your thoughts?

I have a question for Kristin. On average, what is the percentage of people who reach their goal weight in reference to the Transformer process?

The pot is now $4,000

This was the toughest one but 2kg blow goal so I’m proud of myself.
Who else was victorious?

2 days left. Are we all still in this? I’ve been sailing pretty close to the wind but I think I will make my goal. Just need to stay focused and disciplined. I would be grateful to learn how my “cohort” is doing.
I have been experiencing wild fluctuations due to eating salty and processed foods so if any of you have any tricks up your sleeve to lose water-related weight quickly, that would be amazing. Thanks

I am not sure why I don’t feel inspired. I think I can loose the requisite 2 kg to meet the goal weight but I keep obsessing about popcorn and chips. I’m not kidding. I must have a weight management problem. 2kg in two weeks and I won’t lose 100 dollars. What is wrong with me? And Psych’s out there in dietland?
