So I officially finished and won my first dietbet. I won $18.90 (after deducting my bet). I am so encouraged that I won. I started another DietBet before finding out my earnings, and I was already starting to feel defeated about how hard it was going to be to do another one right off the bat. Meanwhile, my six month Transformer's Game is still going on with its first weigh in on Saturday.
One of the things I like about this form of motivation is that it's keeping me focused on the present. It's easy to get wrapped up in to how much TOTAL weight you want to lose, but this has been a great way for me to look at every day as its own challenge knowing that it will effect that number in 28 days.
So I am down a total of 12.4 lbs. I think that's pretty good. :) Let's see what my second 4 week diet bet brings! :D
Good luck to all my other diet betters. And feel free to follow me on Instagram: @trimdownthefat
