I'm a nurse and have been doing an educational role for the last nine years. I have always struggled with my weight and have had lots of ups and downs. Now, seeing myself in my child's eyes, I realized that I can't live this way, I want to be active in my child's life, a goal that started another weight loss journey for me.

My friend mentioned she was doing a DietBet and asked if I wanted to join up. I thought it would be a great fit because I'm competitive. In the past I had tried many different diets. DietBet worked for me because of my competitive nature. I hate to lose—except for losing weight.

My favorite thing about DietBet is the support group, and having my friends together supporting each other. I encourage lots of people to join for the motivation to change and lose weight.
