any interest in a DietBet? (added start date POLL to OP)

[qcinoct]

my stress eating was OUT OF CONTROL this summer and now my clothes are all too snug. I need a kick in the ass to get rid of the 10 lbs I put on so I can fit in my fall clothes. Anyone interested in a Diet Bet to start later this week? 


eta: for those on tapatalk, do you prefer to start Wednesday, Thursday or Friday?

[sjh722]

Yes. I'm in.

[cmarie11]

I'd be interested. I failed at my 6 month one, so I need to kick myself back into gear and do a 1 month one.

How long does the bet go? I might be interested since I'd love to see this baby weight leave me!

[zarapipe]

damn, I just joined a random one I found. I'll still join the conversations here though

typically 4 weeks for the regular one (it requires you to lose 4% of your body weight in that time period). There is a 6 month long one which requires you to lose 10%.

How does it work?

you weigh yourself and take a photo of yourself on the scale with a word the system will give you. Upload the photo to their website (only their staff see the photo and your weight). Reweigh yourself at the end in a similar manner. If you lose >4% of your body weight, you win. It's not a competition to see who can lose the most or lose 4% the fastest. Everyone who loses >4% wins, and the winners split the pot.

Good lord, yes. I have lost all motivation lately.

[waterchurch]

That sounds good! I'm in

[karmasabiotch]

I threw my scale away in a moment of rage. I'll have to give this a try next time I can muster up the strength that to defeat the side eye my scale gives me.

It does sound like fun.

[suzubell]

I just joined three yesterday! I'll talk about it though

[catbus]

Yes, please!

[meij]

Yes!

[Deleted]

Definitely. I am having the hardest time lately. I will eat really well for two or three days and then I will eat 4134423424 calories the next day and ruin all my hard work. I need something to keep me consistent.

[mcfelix]

Sounds good. I'm in!

Do you weigh in weekly or just at the beginning and end?

[undecidedowl]

I wish there was a diet bet lite. I would rather just lose 2% of my body weight in 4 weeks. lol

[hetty]

I would be in! Stopping pumping caused me to slingshot from below pre pregnancy weight to an equal amount above it. Womp Womp.

Totally up to you. If you weigh in weekly they are just for you and don't count towards the goal. Only your end weight makes a difference.

[deanlicker78]

I would do this!

I did the same thing!

[qcinoct]

okay, sjh722 cmarie11 mcfelix @pnkybrwstr hermione waterchurch RexManningDay catbus meij @forcuatro hetty deanlicker78 panicfoot freedom

Please vote on the day to start, I'll set it up later today for a late week weigh-in

[lo]

I'm also interested!

[hetty]

Wednesday works for me

[oceanstbride]

Also interested!

[cricketwife]

I would seriously consider it. I've pretty much just accepted being fat. 4% would put me at my weight before I got pregnant which DS... which was my highest weight ever    

[krystee]

I'm in!

This is me, too.  I don't think I can lose 5 lbs in that time.  I could probably swing 2.5.

I'm here as well. But still thinking about it because I do have 4lbs to lose (although dietbet would require a little over 6). 

You're perfectly muscular and svelte all at the same time. And totally rock the crop top!

Tag anyone I missed, please!

[qcinoct]

I had chosen the start date for Wednesday but DietBet thought that was too early so it changed it to Friday. So, a Friday start date it is!
