[sherbanator]

I'll do it. I'm already in another diet bet but I will do this one as well. More motivation, lol.

And I think I'll need more than a month to lose 5-6 pounds

I think that most people would - that's my hang-up with dietbet. I could lose some weight but I'm not so overweight that losing that much weight in a short period of time is healthy.

I'll post a full update tomorrow on who won our last round.

I think roughly 50% won, so it was good! Many lost close to goal weight but didn't quite make it.

[krystee]

I realllly want to do this, but I'd need to lose almost 11 pounds (yes, I am very fat). I know I could do 8 or so, but 11 seems like a lot. Hmmm...then again, even if I lose only 7 pounds, that's worth spending some money.

I'm mad at dietbet because I joined a bet earlier and am trying to join this one but they are trying to charge me for the stupid starter kit again.

[curtains]

I'm in. I didn't lose enough to win the last one but I did lose weight so it was worth the $25.

[speckledfrog]

When I signed up there was an extra charge of $2.95 for a registration packet and starter kit. No one else got that charge?

[speckledfrog]

WTH, dietbet?

[notsocreepylurker]

I want to but I think I am sitting this one out. Some of my disordered eating came out trying to hit the 12 pounds in a month (I was 2 pounds short of the 4% so I wasn't one of the winners).

[cinnamoncox]

I'm in. I won the last one. $37 and some change
I'll do my updated pics tomorrow
I am finding this to be extremely motivating and *gasp* fun even.
I do agree for a lower weight person it's harder to lose 4%
I'm 137 so last time I think I started around 144 and it was tough tough trying to get those 5.5 pounds off

[krystee]

I also have to buy the starter kit, it says. What is it?

[jinkies]

I don't post much, but I just signed up. I've lost about 20 pounds so far this year, but still have about 10 to go to get to my pre-second baby weight. I just spent the last 2 weeks traveling for work, then on vacation, so I need this motivation to get back on track.

[annyong]

I kind of want to do this (clearly I need more motivation than my too-tight clothes), but I'm assuming I can't since I don't have a scale when I travel. Reason #3821 I hate traveling every week.

[cheeseandcrackers]

What was the highest percentage weight that was lost last time?

[cheeseandcrackers]

Also, can someone repeat the rules on this again?

[Deleted]

Lol. Who is sexycarrot?

[hymen]

I would like to but I guess I'm on the gaining weight train for the next few months.

Although if my first tri is anything like with Isaiah, I will probably lose weight anyway.

I can't find this starter kit charge you people are referring to. Even google only turns up this thread.

It's a fucking racket, that's what it is.

I'm in!

[Deleted]

I'm in too

[winelady]

Question, do I weigh in now that I signed up, or tomorrow when it starts?

[speckledfrog]

You can weigh in now and cell phone pics are fine, as long as they are clear.

[donnamartingraduat]

I'm mostly a lurker, but I signed up too! Maybe it will prompt me to post more and lose weight. Win/win.

[lintscreen]

I don't think I'll sign up for a 2nd round. It was too much weight to try to lose (for me) and I ended up missing it by 1/2 lb. Plus, after it was over I went a little crazy eating whatever I wanted. I think I'm better off just moderating what I eat all the time instead trying super hard to lose weight and then just jumping back up after it's over.
