I love competiton especially against myself. I love to win. I like getting little achievement pins and acknowledgements. So I'm betting on myself to see if I can overcome my emotional eating and strive for a healthier lifestyle. Life has been really stressful this last year and I've gained 70 lbs.!!!! I was already a good 20-30 lbs overweight so now I have about 100 to lose. I've lost 130lbs in the past but obviously I'm very close to having gained it all back. I'm not sure I have the same self-discipline and motivation that I had before. I hope so! I know that I need to stop eating the way I have been and get back to being active - not just for me but as a good example for my children. I have all the reasons in the world to get this under control but lately the will power just hasn't been there. I hoping a bit of competition with myself and my pocketbook will get me motivated to do what I need to do. I'm hoping that some of my teammates will check on me and hold me accountable somehow - so that I'll get this done - and WIN!!!

I can relate to your story. Ten years ago I lost 100 pounds and vowed to never gain it back. Then six years ago my fiancée was killed in a car accident a few weeks before our wedding and I coped by eating. I not only gained the 100 pounds back but added more. I signed up for two DietBets January 1st, a kickstarter and a transformer, and it has helped me more than I thought it would. I too am competitive. I've already hit my round 4 goal at round 2 and I'm signing up for this one to keep me focused on motivated. Best wishes - you can do this!

I can certainly relate to emotional eating and rapid weight gain :( You've lost the weight before, so you can do it again, and this time for good! I wish you the best of luck!
Keep The Hope in your pocket And take action!! I find baby step goals- one day at a time- really gets The job done:)
Good for you! I'll check in on you, and hope you do the same for me? :) I'm excited for this game! This is my first time on DietBet and I'm curious to see how this all works out. :)
