Running With The Girls March Challenge
In January, I hosted a DietBet weight loss challenge. Of course if I'm going to host an event on my blog, I'm definitely going to participate. I thought the challenge was a lot of fun and enjoyed chatting with my participants on the discussion board. Although, I didn't "win", I came close (within a pound). This time, I'm determined to meet my goal. I've got to, my mileage is going to increase with marathon training and I usually drop a few pounds while training for marathons. Here's hoping I meet my goal this time!!!
The challenge runs from March 4 - 31.
It's really simple -
- pay the $10 bet fee via paypal or credit card to DietBet
- weigh in 3/2 - 3/3, DietBet will give you a code word that you'll need to have written on paper and in your "weight verification picture"
- share the challenge with your friends - the more people in our challenge, the higher the pot, the better for you in the end when you meet your goal of losing your 4%
- over the course of the 4 weeks, share your successes/stresses on DietBet on our challenge message board. this part is not mandatory at all - but the sense of community when working towards the same goal does help in weight loss!
- at the end, do a final weigh out.
- if you lose your 4%, you'll be asked to verify your weight and then all the winners will split the pot.

Already in another challenge? No worries. DietBet lets you join up to 5 challenges at a time. While I'm hosting my challenge, I'll also be involved in another challenge.
I did one in February and really enjoyed it. i am actually making myself take March off to see if I can do it on my own without the Diet Bet motivation. Last week was my first week post bet and I was bad.
ReplyDeleteI hope that your bet goes great and you met your goal.
Good luck! I'm not going to join because I don't think I have much to lose, and I'm already hitting my race weight so that might be bad to lose more.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with Diet Bet in March! I participated in a couple that took place over the holidays. Terrible idea!
ReplyDeleteI'm a few days late, but just joined. Since January 1st I've gained 7 lbs. That ALWAYS seems to happen when I up my training mileage. I think it has a lot more to do with being hungry and eating too much than muscle gains. Thanks for the extra push!
ReplyDeleteI just joined. A bit late, but I'm up for a challenge. This is just the motivation I need to drop the seven pounds I've gained since January 1st. I always gain during the end of my training plan. I think it has a lot more to do with how hungry I think I am and less with muscle gain. Thanks for the extra push!
