DietBet: Social Dieting

take a chance, make it happen.
I don't particularly like gambling.  Partly because I don't really understand it, but mostly because I have the luck of Jeanne Rogers (I think I've broken one too many mirrors in my day).  Naturally when I first heard about DietBet, a social dieting site that allows you to bet against others, I was a little skeptical. BUT as I read more about it on the Blogilates page, my competitive side started to take over.

in it to win it.
This isn't your stereotypical betting.  Greedy casinos don't manipulate the games; I don't have to research the training schedule of a million horses or keep up with every sports team in order to play the odds; it doesn't matter if my birthday numbers aren't randomly picked from a hat; and no one needs to find out that I can't keep a poker face to save my life... This is a billion times better than other types of betting because I have the power to control the outcome!

How could I resist!?  Once my mind was made up, there was no turning back.  I signed up for the Blogilates June DietBet and threw my $25 into the pot, which is now over $40,000! I already want to lose weight, so this is just added motivation.  First weigh in is June 1st.  I must spend these next couple of days formulating a P.O.A... Competition looks fierce.

a video is worth a bazillion words.
I'm absolutely terrible at explaining things.  To avoid butchering the concept of social dieting, I'll let the video and screen shots below do the talking.
