Bravo as a host, Jeff. Thank you (and Francy) for staying active on the boards. It was encouraging and motivating to see your comments. Some of them will stay with me for a long while. Best of luck to you in the future.

Jeff! I'm so excited to see you as a host. I live just north of Monroe, MI in Wyandotte. My husband and I watched your season of BL and enjoyed the local footage. :) I hope you are well. It was awesome to see you on this forum! I have been using Dietbet as a tool for a little over a year and though I don't always win, I have lost weight and found a good supportive group of people to walk with-and it's working for me. I'm within 10 pounds of my ultimate lifetime goal, and that feels great! I've just started hosting some games and I have discovered I love that challenge. I had hoped to see you in Erie, PA at the BL walk to say hey from a fellow Michigander, but it didn't pan out for me to be there. Anyway, consider this a 'hi there!' from chilly Michigan. Glad you're here for the month and looking forward to your game! Thanks for hosting!

Hi Jeff! Thought I'd be the first person to post on your cheerboard. I am really excited to be playing in your Diet Bet. I'm not big on reality TV and have never watched The Biggest Loser so am not familiar with how and where you started your weight loss journey, but from your Facebook pics you look great. Congrats for being a first time Diet Bet host and attracting so many people your first time out. As for me...just an ordinary person who likes to motivate others and struggling to get down to my goal weight. You must already have reached our goal, because it looks like you aren't playing in your own game. Of course, that's not required. I'm currently playing in four Diet Bet games and I love it.
