I'm starting a DietBet!

That's right! I'm betting that this month I can lose at least 4% of my weight. DietBet is a website where you can bet with friends (or your friends on the Internet) that you can lose 4% of your body weight in 4 weeks. So, late last night, I started a pitch to my husband on why we both need to join a DietBet. He loves betting games so it wasn't a hard sell.

Obviously, I'm trying to lose weight and be more healthy. I've got a long way to go and 4% of my body weight is around 7 pounds. So, it makes sense for me to participate in a bet like this. My husband is a healthy man but he's training for another half marathon. He'll be using this DietBet to lose the little bit of extra weight he has in the hopes that this will make him slightly faster in his upcoming race.

If you've seen my recent weigh in video (Weigh in #2), you know that I have recently been obsessed with the MyFitspiration YouTube channel. MyFitspiration, for those that don't know, is hosted by two women who competed in Biggest Loser Season 11. I love their videos! Yesterday, while struggling with my run at the gym, I pulled up their video about going the extra mile on my phone and I swear it gave me the encouragement to keep going.

The ladies from MyFitspiration, Olivia and Hannah, have hosted a few DietBets before and they are starting a new DietBet tomorrow. This is my first DietBet so I will say that I am not an expert on this website in any way. Also, I would recommend that if you are interested in participating in a DietBet, please make sure to research the website, read the rules, etc. on your own so that you know exactly what you're getting into. Also, just so you know, I'm not affiliated with MyFitspiration or DietBet. I'm just excited to try something new.

To join a game on DietBet, you submit a photo of your weight and a full body picture of yourself. I'm including mine below so you can see an example. DietBet has you right a secret word on an index card to prove you weighed yourself that day. So, that's why this picture says TURNIP.



Here's my full body photo. It's early in the morning and we just quickly snapped pictures of ourselves so I have no makeup on! Also, do you love our 1950s style bathroom? We have not gotten to that home project yet.



Have a wonderful Sunday!
