Once again, it is time to make your guess for the number of winners we'll have this round! Contest closes once they announce it. Whoever comes closest gets the big prize of me commenting that you won! And of course the priceless smug satisfaction.

We started with 1776 players
Round 1 winners: 1398
Round 2 winners: 1046
Round 3 winners: 887
Round 4 winners: 848

What's your guess? Any words of wisdom for the final round?

And the total number of winners this round was 868! Congratulations to Anna E, who was the closest guess at 853, just fifteen away!

And of course congratulations to all the winners and everyone who is making progress.

Time to make your guess for the number of winners we'll have this round! Contest closes once they announce it. Whoever comes closest gets fame and fortune! Actually no, just accolades, but hey, that's something! Last round, the winner was Michaela, who was only off by five.

We started with 1776 players
Round 1 winners: 1398
Round 2 winners: 1046
Round 3 winners: 887

Comment with your guess!

848 winners! And wow, nobody was very close at all (and I forgot to guess, oops). But closest was Charlos with a guess of 902, which was over by 54. So despite guessing a higher number (and my data shows round 4 is basically always a lower number of winners than round 3), Charlos won this one! Go Charlos for beating the odds! :)

Anyone want to make a guess as to how many winners we'll have this round? Just comment with your guess -- the prize for whoever comes closest is accolades! :)

We started with 1776 players
Round 1 winners: 1398
Round 2 winners: 1046

Contest closes once they announce it, so could be in a few minutes, a few hours, or tomorrow. Don't dally!

Deb, guessing after the information has been revealed isn't great form. But still getting it wrong is funny! :D

Hey everyone! Just a reminder on how our pledges are divided.

Each month is a Round. We pledge $40 each Round: $20 goes into that Round and $20 into Round 6. This makes Round 6 the largest pot by the end of the challenge.

So, if you hit your target weight for Round 1 and only win around $20, don’t worry — you didn’t lose money! Half of your pledge is still in Round 6, where the bigger payout will come later. A lot of us will hit our goals in Round 1, so just keep that in mind!

Thank you, Kirsten!

DietBet also takes a cut too though, right? I’m not sure if that is for every round or just the final pot at the end though.

Isolated in my bedroom all day yesterday because I have COVID (very minor symptoms) and workers came to finish up kitchen cabinet refacing (yes, they were aware I had just tested positive that morning). I had my snacks & lunch in my mini crockpot knowing I had to stay in my room. My treadmill is in my room so I still got 60 min walk and 10k steps in.

Does anyone have any non alcoholic beers they like? Lower carb, but I haven't found ones I LOVE yet.

Brooklyn Brewing and Lagunitas IPA are my top.

I really enjoy Athletic Brewing Co. Their Run Wild IPA is my favorite!

I don't know about the carb content, but I love the Sam Adams Just the Haze, and Collective Arts Emerald Dark is really good (but carb content says 19...). If you're into IPAs, Partake has a great 10 calorie hoppy water, more of a beer like flavor/punch than just the regular Hop Waters.

Hey everyone!

I participated in this challenge last year, and I wanted to clarify something that tripped up a few people — how our pledges are divided.

Each month is a Round. We pledge $40 each Round: $20 goes into that Round and $20 into Round 6. This makes Round 6 the largest pot by the end of the challenge.

So, if you hit your target weight for Round 1 and only win around $20, don’t worry — you didn’t lose money! Half of your pledge is still in Round 6, where the bigger payout will come later. A lot of us will hit our goals in Round 1, so just keep that in mind!

Let’s do this!

Hi Kirsten! Thank you for sharing this! There are definitely always a lot of concerns in the first month as players figure this out. :purple_heart: For anyone who is new and reading this - and I hope you do to feel better prepared! - here is the game FAQ page for more game information. https://support.waybetter.com/hc/en-us/articles/24340189536403-2025-Make-the-New-Year-Magic-Transformer-FAQs.

  • Welcome everyone!!

    I'm so happy you're here and committed to living a healthier life. It's fantastic that you've put your faith in yourself to make the first 6-months of 2025 magical, uplifting, and life changing!

    I'm Kristin, a mom of two from Minnesota, and I'll be your host and biggest supporter through the next 6 months! I’m a WayBetter fan and DietBet player since way back in 2013. I love this community and am so inspired by all of you!

    I regularly host a variety of games on the WayBetter app, but every so often I get to go on this 6-month Transformer journey with you - and it's the best! Past January Transformers have ended with tens of thousands of people making life-changing improvements in their health and well-being. It's the most incredible game of the year and it's such an honor to be a part of that!

    I would love if you’d tell us a little bit about yourself and why you're looking forward to this 6-month experience!
