So, at the beginning of August, I actually joined a six month “Transformer” through this site called DietBet. A friend had recommended the site to me, and it’s been a great way for me to have some accountability as I work to lose 10% of my weight in six months (I was doing pretty well when I had younger kiddos–chasing them around and all–but blogger’s butt has gotten the best of me)!  Anyway, it does require you to ante up some money for the pot, but if you meet your goal, you will get it back (and maybe some extra depending how many people don’t meet the goal).

Anyway, if you wanted to start small with just a one month commitment to see if it works for you, there is the Jillian’s Beginner Shred Challenge starting today, October 7.  You can still join in the next few days, too.  The goal is to lose 4% in 4 weeks and you’ll be competing to win part of the $131,760 pot.  See more details here.
