Well, my body has lost inches, it just didn't translate on the scale. That's what's upsetting. I wish we could send in body fat percentage instead lol oh well. I still am doing the transformer one.
And you're right. Thanks! I'm glad everyone enjoyed it!!
The translating on the scale is an issue for me as well, it's frusterating.
I'll make my next weigh in for the transformer but I'm worried about the next few months. I bought a scale that gives fat and muscle percentage because my actual weight/bmi is pretty high. I read that once you workout for a bit BMI isn't accurate and it appears to be right. My fat % is below average and my muscle is a lot higher than average. Im totally one of those who is constantly looking at the scale for reassurance even though that's not accurate. This seems like a better way to track progress along with measurements. I'm just not good at taking those.

The Inforoo Diet Bet 2015 is over! Some may have reached their goals, others might not have and that's fine. I think we all benefited from this bet the past 3 weeks.
And thus I propose to you *Insert Drum Roll*
INFOROO DIET BET 2015: The Sequel
The title is still up for grabs and open to any suggestions ( Inforoo Diet Bet 2015: Part Deux, etc)
If people want to join, the bet will be from May 18th to the June 8th. Monday to Monday, 3 weeks apart. I talked with nerdbyrd and she gave me the OK to hijack her thread. Even if she didn't I still would have done it.
Now! Forget about whether you reached the goal or not in the past bet, this is clean slate baby!
I will create this bet today after work.
I better see all you losers signing up again. And by losers I mean like you're going to lose weight.
and some inspiration:
PS: Mad props to nerdbyrd for getting us involved in this, I definitely appreciate it!
THIS IS WHY I LOVE YOU, SPARTA!
So, umm, round 2? Because I'm in! As long as it ends before Bonnaroo, which it does... LET'S FUCKING DO THIS!!!!!!

I'd do it again (besides, I have some money on my account) but can you make a 3 week challenge? I thought it was just 4 weeks or Transformers.

She's right.
Well, maybe after roo?? I just know I will NOT be weighing in while at roo lol it's my only vacation and I plan on going crazy and eating and drinking anything I like. So maybe the dietbet after roo is a better choice???

Sounds like a tougher challenge. I'm down for sure.

We can still text eachother between now and then to see who is winning. Not that we have a bet going on, but I'm competitive and I know we are close in range
i'm curious... has anyone found out how much they won??
$33.33
Did anyone get more than 33.33? That's not an even payout if they are truly taking 10% and letting the winners split the pot. I remember we were not sure if the bigger losers got a higher allocation. This worries me that Dietbet is being scammy with our money, they better not be using some crazy stupid accounting to increase their rake.

Maybe they took out the money donated to charity before taking their cut and divvying up the rest?

27 people met their goal. 18 people didn't. Can someone check the math??
The table that gardenfresh posted yesterday says that 27 winners would each get $40.
Oops. I am a dumb-ass! I read the rules wrong with the payouts. Looks like the "fee" percentage is allocated on total bet, not total pot. Looks like dietbet actually 25% from our game!!!!
$6.67 short from each winner means $180.09 is missing. Unless they are taxing our winnings. Should I expect a 1099 at the beginning of the year for my taxes??

While the fee thing annoys me slightly (I mean we essentially handed over 300 bucks to this service), I think all in all-- it's worth it for the motivation and fun it provides.
300 / 45 = $6.67 per person in fees. Way cheaper than Weight Watchers, no?
So... now I'm beginning to think there probably won't be a 2nd dietbet challenge. My money is already locked into the transformer challenge bc I paid up front and it ends right before my bday so it's keeping me on track. Otherwise, I wouldn't keep giving these guys my money. What a racket!
I could've bought crack to bring to roo with that money! Everyone knows crack makes you skinny.

I would do it again if people still wanted, I had a lot of fun-- and having a weigh-in on my mind definitely helps the motivation.
Also, before I gripe about the fees any further: A HUGE CONGRATS TO EVERYONE WHO MET THEIR GOAL!!! YOU ARE AMAZING. And to everyone that participated and lost something, HUGE CONGRATS TO YOU TO. Can't wait to see your skinny, sexy asses on the farm.

Yes! A total of 251lbs were lost during this dietbet. That's pretty amazing stuff, guys!!!!!!
Congrats guys! It does suck that they're a little scammy, but it is what it is. It helped me stay on track and I'm okay with that. I have another goal in mind of what I'd like to lose between now and Roo. I've made leaps and bounds as far as my diet is concerned...to hit that next hurdle, I really need to step up my workout game, haha. And I really, truly hate working out.

It gets better once you get used to the routine of working out! You got this
I totally want to do another one. the fee sucks but honestly It kept me on track so I feel like it was worth it. I'm a little skeptical about staring another one before roo tho. can we start a second one the week we get back?

I think when we all get home from roo, shower, and start fighting the bonnablues, we will need dietbet motivation more than ever.....

I think one post Roo would be great. I'll probably gain 10lbs in alcohol at brunch alone.

Same. I think a post-Roo DietBet would be a great idea! I'm always so depressed after Bonnaroo and then I'll slack, overeat, and just be a general lard ass, haha.
