I have always been a little overweight, but after having my first child I gained 40 pounds and was never able to get back to my starting weight. I tried everything from pills, fad diets, starving myself, juicing, and simply working out and eating healthy.

I follow Jillian Michaels on Facebook and she was promoting her DietBet. I decided to read more about it and I fell in love with the concept. I joined immediately and was excited to begin the journey. DietBet worked for me because I was determined to get paid and lose weight. The bets were simple. I had to lose 4% of my weight in 28 days. It sounded so do-able. And it was! Knowing that I had a deadline helped a lot. Weighing-in regularly and seeing where everyone else was on their journey helped me as well.

My favorite thing about the games is that they are fair. It is not about who loses the most but who accomplishes their goal. DietBet really helps with accountability and you get paid to lose weight. It can't get better than that. To top it all off you have a community of people with the same goal as you.
