I have struggled with weight issues all my life. At the end of grade 10, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and ballooned up to 190 lbs. by grade 12. I basically gave up on losing weight and I stopped caring about myself. After high school I put on another 37 lbs. bringing me to my highest weight of 227 lbs.  I was embarrassed to be in photos, I hated going out with anyone, I didn't want to put on anything but sweat pants because nothing would fit anymore!

 In May 2014, I promised my boyfriend of 5 years I would finally step up my game and I'd work hard to lose 20 lbs. I felt like giving up everyday but I stuck with. I decided to use DietBet because it's fun and I can use the winnings to buy new clothes!

 I've tried weight loss programs at home but nothing worked like DietBet. I care about my hard earned money! I try really hard and seeing my peers do well motivates my competitive side to push harder. I've never lost a game for that reason. 

 I really liked the support and comments section in the games. Knowing others are struggling with you to meet their goals as well. Seeing people post workout photos and seeing their progress motivated me.
