Diet....contest?
I'm just gonna quote myself. But yes, you can do 3 at once.TheCatt wrote:If you are serious about the weight loss, I highly recommend DietBet.com and Healthywage.com. I have made several hundred $ from those sites losing weight so far.
Dietbet is the easier of the two. You can sign up for 3 bets at a time (4% in 1 month, or 10% in 6 months), and it only requires 1 picture per month. To get the most money, you could do the following:
1) Sign up for 2 1-month challenges, and 1 6-month challenge.
2) At the end of 1-month, sign up for another 1-month challenge, and another 6-month challenge.
3) At the end of the 2nd month, sign up for another 6-month challenge.
[That is the plan I am following right now, having won the 1-month challenges, and am now in step #3]
Assuming you could/want to lose that much weight. To win all of those bets, I think you'd end up at 197.4 at most.
Healthwage.com is different. The bet varies based on what you want to lose and time horizon.
On the 4% bets, I've typically made about 50-75% of the bet (so $12.5 to 20 on a $25 wager). On the 10%, I doubled my money.

Fitbit Surge, Charge HR released
The Surge is the one I think I want. However, there seem to be numerous concernsabout the HRM accuracy when exercising. Automatic sleep tracking. Basic phone integration (text/call notifications, music control).

I'm trying to upgrade to a Charge HR. The Surge is a lot more money for features I won't use.

I'm not 100% sure it's worth it, but I definitely want to give it a try. If I could get a fitness tracker + running tracker + HRM in one package, that's worth it to me. Today I have: Phone, Bike computer, HR Strap. HR Strap only works with bike computer. And using the phone's audio controls while running isn't easy, so having that on a watch might be nice.Leisher wrote:I'm trying to upgrade to a Charge HR.

I'd prefer to get an Android Wear watch, but there isn't one with continuous HRM yet.
Now if it could only track my swimming too

Dietbet: The 10% contests work like this:
6 months. each of the first 5 months have 10% of the pot, with 50% of the pot in the final month.
I paid $125 to join one two months ago. So that's $12.50 per first 5 month's pot, and $62.50 for final pot.
Month 1 won: Grossed 17.73 (net 5.23)
Month 2 won: Grossed 37.89 (net 25.64). People suck at not eating during holidays.
I joined another in December, same $.
Month 1 won: Grossed 19.43 (net 6.93).
I also did 2 4% monthly games that have ended.
Bet: $30, Grossed 51.81, net 21.81
Bet: $30, Grossed 51.88, net 21.88.
So in the past two months, I have made about $81.50.
Last year, I did a single 10% bet, and netted 163. If I make just 125 per 10% bet, I'll end up at $400 or so, total.

Do kelp noodles taste like the ocean? I hate fish and that fishy taste. I once did a spit-take in business class in Tokyo when i emptied a bag or what i thought were peanuts into my mouth and it ended up being dried seaweed bullshit.Malcolm wrote:I eat kelp. The rumour about the carbs sounds like an easily verifiable fact. Taste is aesthetic and relative.
