Dietbet!

I am doing a 4 week diet challenge on DietBet.com

Haven't seen DietBet.com?   Do check it out.  It looks like a lot of fun.  I'll be updating regularly on my progress.

So, how it works:  You find a game on DietBet.com.  There's tons of them right now.  You sign up for a game and put $ in the "pot."  Then you take a picture of yourself weighing and a picture of the scale.  Then you lose 4% of your body weight in four weeks (or however long the game is).  Everyone who loses 4% of their body weight wins!  The "pot" is divided up amongst the winners.

While I chose a moderate game with a $25 contribution to the "pot," there are all kinds of games on the site. 

Here's the one I'm doing: Fitknitchick's DietBet. 

I tell you what, the only way I'm losing this game is if I don't lose weight.  If I lose the weight, I'll get my $25 back, and maybe a little more.  And the "pot" for the game I'm in is $4900! 

It feels very shallow of me to lose weight only for money.  But I'll take it.  I need to lose 28% of my body weight overall, and I aim to have 2013 be the year I finally do it. 

More to come on this.
