I decided to go for it about a month ago and join this website. Then I decided why not place the highest bets on yourself? If you're going to commit to this, why not take this to the max? Therefore I joined 3 Transformers and 3 Kickstarters all within a week. Because I am of the opinion that I've "invested" money in myself and that I need to at least get back my original "investment" I have been highly motivated. Plus this is an enjoyable, social way to do this whole weight loss process. I love reading comments from other players and participating as much as I can, even though I am a private person normally.
When on vacation last week I had to use a travel scale for weigh-ins. I didn't like the thing and my weight seemed a bit higher on it. Getting back home, I got on my old scale and I weighed THREE POUNDS less. Three pounds! I am not adding this new weight to my weigh-ins - I want to make sure this is the real thing first - but it gives me hope!
So, so far these dietbets have been a success. I thought I was in a pinch for one of them, but with the THREE POUNDS' difference between the two scales, I'm under for all my games. Whaaaaaat? Even with my odd confidence last month in signing up for all these games, I was still reticent and unsure of my ability to follow through. But now? The only thoughts rolling around in my head are random superlatives like "Sweet!! Awesome!!! Fantastic!!!"
