This has been a long journey. I've never been a size 10, so to think that soon I'll be an 8 is just too much for me to consider.

 I have been with DietBet just about a year now. I started my first game in January. I chose DietBet when I saw a blogger try it. I thought it sounded like fun and I knew I needed to do something. I tried Weight Watchers in the past. I think the problem I had with them was that they told me to lose 10%, and they promised me a sticker at the end, but they didn't give me a time line. I like that DietBet tells me 10%, but then breaks it down into manageable chunks with a deadline.

 I chose DietBet because nothing else seemed to work, and the novel idea of winning money while becoming healthier sounded great. What I like best about the game is the friendships I've formed. It's a social game, and I thought we'd be competing against each other, but it's the opposite: people are supportive and kind. Everyone is so nice to each other! There is no negativity or ill will; it's all kindness and support. I love that!
