DietBet or The Power of Social Dieting…

dietbet

This is why I love the Internet!  You can be creating a plan for doing something, and because you use the Net every day, out of the blue you find something that can help you achieve your goals faster and even with a little fun.  This is how I feel about this site that I bump into very recently.

The name is DietBet and like the name suggest, it is you making a bet on losing X number of pounds in Y number of weeks.

What I like about the method is that is already assemble.  A good environment with dozens of people with the same goal as you.  And I know that this is a very powerful ingredient of the lose weight formula.

Ok, let’s explain in few words what I will be doing for the sake of experimenting (in something that I believe can give results).

I am enrolling in a “Kickstarter” that means getting rid of 4% of my body in roughly 4 weeks. I am putting down $35 dollars as part of a Pot that will be divided among the winners (people that reached their respective goals). I will provide proof of my initial and ending state. I will follow a plan of my own or feed from the advice of other members along with guidelines of the organizer.

The event that I choose starts Today (01/15) so I enrolled a couple of minutes ago. Usually, you can enroll a couple of days earlier.  I sent my weight info with photos and even a secret word to ensure that the photos are from today. I have to wait a few hours as my submission must be reviewed by judges before I can be considered a player.

After getting in, I will try to contact some of the other players to ask about experience with the service. Of course, I will post some follow-ups from my own experience.

Will it work?  Well, you’ll be the judge, so stay tuned and watch my experiment with “DietBet”.

Note:  This is not part of any kind of promotion campaign

The image that I placed is an old clip that I found from a DietBet challenge hosted by no other than famous Jillian Michaels (I am a big fan).
