I'm trying to get to my goal weight before we TTC too. DH wants to start this summer, but I would rather wait until fall. I did find out that if I do get pregnant, I can get my money back.<br /> I'll wall you my name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-diet-bet/page/2#post-1455474 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 16:06:02 +0000 reverie 1455474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TemperanceBrennan: my payout was $20 on a $30 bet so that was pretty fun. My husband and I decided to do the 6 month one that starts 3/4; is that the one you're in? It seems more doable than the one month bets... and it takes me right to where I want to be to start TTC again (OMG is September really only 6 months from now BARF). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-diet-bet/page/2#post-1450237 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 09:39:18 +0000 reverie 1450237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TemperanceBrennan: Yeah...that is about what I'm expecting. It actually looks like over 50% succeeded which is surprising to me considering the size of the group. I think the 6 month ones must have a lower success rate. I mean, I didn't do it for money but that was definitely a perk. If I were using that as a strategy I think smaller ones like 15 or so people would have higher payouts. Congrats though, you lost the weight that is the bigger prize! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-diet-bet/page/2#post-1450180 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 09:19:31 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1450180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@OpinionsLikeKittens: So my payout was $46.51, with a $30 bet, so I made $16.51. I was hoping to make a little more, but I'll take it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-diet-bet/page/2#post-1449220 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 16:43:13 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1449220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@OpinionsLikeKittens: I wasn't sure either, but I'm just doing the monthly bet, so it is only $25 up front. You can drop out after each month and not owe anything additional. Not to pressure you or anything, just making sure you know the options. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-diet-bet/page/2#post-1449196 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 16:34:42 +0000 reverie 1449196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TemperanceBrennan: I thought about a 6 month one but the $150 bet is too much for me to risk.... even with a high likelihood of reaching the goal I don't have that amount to risk right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-diet-bet/page/2#post-1449191 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 16:33:20 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1449191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@OpinionsLikeKittens: I haven't found out yet because people can still weigh-in until midnight tonight. I was actually closer than I thought I would be. Last Friday I was four pounds under my goal, but I went out of town this weekend and didn't pay much attention to eating and when I weighed in, I was only 7/10ths under my goal! </p> <p>There is only one other person (besides me) that signed up for the HB diet bet so far :sad:, so I might cancel it. </p> <p>I signed up for the 6 month, 10% weight loss challenge that starts on the 2nd. I think that should be more realistic. You should join that one too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-diet-bet/page/2#post-1449150 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 16:21:15 +0000 reverie 1449150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TemperanceBrennan: What did your payout wind up being? I'm 75% going to join this one.... I won my bet by 1/10th of a pound-- so I'm a little nervous doing it again knowing I won't have a big first week like this round. I'm going to see what the scale says thursday or friday and then decide. It is definitely good motivation though. Still waiting for the rest of the players to weigh in to see what my payout is this round. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-diet-bet/page/2#post-1444841 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 09:03:05 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1444841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just a reminder that the game starts this Friday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-diet-bet/page/2#post-1437969 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 17:15:55 +0000 AprilFool 1437969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a great idea! My weight loss is so slow that it's not worth me joining. I only wish I could lose 4% in a month. Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-diet-bet/page/2#post-1437773 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 16:28:12 +0000 cheert16 1437773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TemperanceBrennan: Ha ha- well that makes it pretty funny </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-diet-bet/page/2#post-1437769 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 16:27:33 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1437769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheert16: :happy: Maybe a good motivator, but not speller. I noticed I spelled lose like loose a ton of times in the thread :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-diet-bet#post-1437761 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 16:25:57 +0000 cheert16 1437761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TemperanceBrennan: Such a good motivator :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-diet-bet#post-1437758 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 16:25:08 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1437758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheert16: You can do it! And even if you don't, you will still have taken steps to get healthy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-diet-bet#post-1437745 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 16:22:54 +0000 cheert16 1437745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TemperanceBrennan: Great! I am getting alittle nervous that 4% will be hard to lose- but that cash jackpot will have to be my motivation! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-diet-bet#post-1437731 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 16:20:28 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1437731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheert16: Yep you can sign up anytime. You can even join up to 14 days past the start date, but you don't get any extra time to lose the weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-diet-bet#post-1437724 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 16:18:55 +0000 cheert16 1437724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can I still sign up tomorrow? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-diet-bet#post-1437717 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 16:18:23 +0000 cheert16 1437717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am excited!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-diet-bet#post-1437584 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 16:01:04 +0000 MaisyMay 1437584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TemperanceBrennan: No, I got all of the $200, but if they did another challenge it would be ran differently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-diet-bet#post-1437373 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 15:24:20 +0000 swurlygurl 1437373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: Can you sign up like right before you have a baby?? Hahaha, that would be so bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-diet-bet#post-1437342 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 15:19:12 +0000 kiddosc 1437342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@OpinionsLikeKittens: @TemperanceBrennan: I've done 4, and each time it was about 50-60% of the people that met the goal. I did $25-30 bets and the least amount I won on top of my bet was about $10 and the most about $20. You can participate in up to three bets at a time, so you lose the same amount of weight once, but win three bets... I think that would be the strategy to make any significant money off of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-diet-bet#post-1437318 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 15:14:05 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1437318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@OpinionsLikeKittens: I'll let you know when (if?) I win. I looked for payout numbers too and you're right, there aren't many. On the testimonial page people have won hundreds (even $1,000) but it is so dependent on how well the other people in your group do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-diet-bet#post-1437312 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 15:12:19 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1437312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: So you didn't get all the money? That sucks that they changed the rules! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-diet-bet#post-1437308 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 15:11:53 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1437308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bunnylove08: @MaisyMay: @Mamaof2: @cheert16: @grizz: @kiddosc: @loveisstrange: @NeekieRose: @twoofeverything: @MrsTal: @OpinionsLikeKittens: @sarbear: </p> <p>Here's the link to the game.

I did some googling before signing up and saw that it was about 50% of the bet for one guy (there isn't a lot out there). I wanted to do the january - june 6 month one, but $150 was too high risk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-diet-bet#post-1436964 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:09:45 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1436964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@OpinionsLikeKittens: Weekends are the hardest for me and the superbowl was bad, but the diet bet helped me really stay on track during the week. You can still have fun on your birthday and eat everything you want, you just have to be good before and after! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-diet-bet#post-1436948 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:07:17 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1436948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can anyone think of any clever names for our bet? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-diet-bet#post-1436927 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:03:30 +0000 reverie 1436927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TemperanceBrennan: I'm doing the heidi and chris whoever they are from that extreme weight loss show on ABC I think? I just picked them b/c the pot was huge (over 100k) so I figured there would be a fair failure rate and it started at a convenient time. I think my weigh out is next tuesday/wednesday. I have two pounds to go -- but I vary so much with water weight I get scared! My birthday is in March so it is a scary thought to do it again, but on the other hand why erase all of february's hard work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-diet-bet#post-1436920 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:02:15 +0000 swurlygurl 1436920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would totally do it if I wasn't pregnant! Dang it... It sounds like a great motivator, and I love that you at least win your money back if you meet the goal, not just one big winner </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-diet-bet#post-1436913 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:00:36 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1436913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Sounds good to me! </p>
