Seems a lot of folks have asked me, "How much have you won with DietBet?"
Here is the answer...
In 7 months I have played 3 DietBet games, won all 3 and lost 33 pounds.
I have paid in $255 and grossed $400.30, which netted me a total winnings of $145.30.
May not seem like a lot of money (which it is not), but ask yourself, if I had join Weight Watchers
& paid them and lost weight, would they refund my money? Would they actually pay me anything?
I love this DietBet & will continue with it.

It sounds like a nice accountability tool with a community of like minded folks.

Ok, I'm getting desperate, my favorite exercise is bike riding.
It has been cold & rainy and I thought I'd try indoor bike riding.
Yes I know I could ride one of those stationary exercise bikes (I
own one) I just don't really like those. I normally jog up & down
the open stairwells in this gym (2,438 stair steps in a workout).
So today I tried the "exercise experiment" and rode my bike indoors
for 10 miles. I normally ride 25 miles and my one day best ride this summer
was 56 miles - which is very good for me.
Well, I was surprised how hard it was to ride indoors. The floor has a lot
of resistance and I had to really focus on what I was doing, a lot of
body control (tons of turning). Even though there were no cars, dogs etc.
It was still harder riding those 10 indoor miles than 30 on the open road.
I'm always looking for creative workout options.
To all my Motown Muscle Peeps, Keep it going, keep it safe and keep if FUN!

Excellent job! I just signed up for 2 more DietBet games.
I took a break from DietBet & shouldn't have. My buddy who
works for FEMA was doing 100 push ups and 100 sit ups a
day. He had to suspend that for now.
He has been running things in the Florida EOC since
Labor Day......without a day off, 106+ hours of OT alone
in the first 2 weeks!

My guess is that will either be immediately discarded or the parents will eat it.

I know who is getting a flaming pile of poop on their door step.
