When I decided to give Diet Bet a try, my mind set was to put money on it and it would help.  What happend after is what surprised me.  By reading and staying active on the message boards it has helped me keep going.  It isn't about the money as much as just being part of a like minded group, sharing accomplishments and set-backs.  It has truly helped me stay on track and I have learned so much over the last 30 days.  My first diet bet will be done on November 10th, I have met my Diet Bet goal with 2 extra pounds lost.  I am working on two others and starting a new one "Fitbit Fanatics" on November 10th.  I am loving this group of wonderful people.
