  • You made it through the first round! Congratulations everyone!

    Whether you made your goal this time or not - and you're still in it to win it even if you were shy of your goal this round! - just know that you should be so proud of any progress and, most importantly, making this commitment to your long-term health!

    Most of us are rooting for each other as well, and I know that this January round is going to have a lot of winners! 🎉 That being said, we may not have much for winnings this month - remember that only half of your bet goes into the pot for the round and half is in our final pot for this game.

I won two DB prizes: a Patio Warmer and a Rowing Machine. I'm counting on my next prize soon! I wonder how random it is or whether they reward based on how much money you've lost, you know how the casinos do it. LOL. Those were the only times I ever won anything, I love them both. I never received a most improved student certificate, an employee of the month certificate, a lottery prize, slot machine earnings, or a carnival prize. Nothing. So when DB hollered at me with a prize TWICE, I was over the moon. Good luck to all of you. I hope the perfect thing for you comes your way. ***To the DB Gods: I could use a masticating juicer!!!

  • When I was a freshman in collage we won the gold in the Men's Collegiate Novice 8 race at the New York State Championships. Believe it or not I was a light weight rower back then (must be under 160, 155 boat average)

  • What an inspiring group!! Some of you are off to an incredible start!

    Early on I saw some of you ask about your weigh-in goals and / or losing too much weight. The exact breakdowns are in our Make the New Year Magic Transformer FAQs, but I want to put your mind at ease about a few things.

    First, your goals are all set already based off your initial weigh-in. They will not change during this game. If you lose more this month, you're that far ahead for your Round 2 goal. To check your monthly goals click the Round Info button by your Round 1 progress on desktop, and All to the right of the Rounds at the top of the app.

    Second, you would have to be experiencing some very unhealthy weight loss to be disqualified during a round. Unless you experience an illness, in which case you can reach out to support@dietbet.com, losing 12% of your starting weight during one round is unlikely. See the breakdown for each round here.

    Third, there is a difference between our prizes for this game (awarded monthly to anyone active in this game, regardless of weigh-ins or membership) and Weekly Membership Prizes (awarded weekly to Members who have completed the weekly progress weigh-in by Wednesday of each week). Find more information here.

    How do you feel about your weight loss so far?
    A) I've had a large loss already and it feels great!
    B) Slow and steady, I'm feeling good about my pace
    C) I'm just getting started
    D) I haven't seen a loss yet, but I'm doing the right things!
    E) I'm struggling to get started
    F) I haven't even looked at a scale yet
    G) Other - tell us about it!

Great job, everyone!!!

Steven, if you miss one of the Rounds, you just forfeit the winning for that Round (half of each monthly bet goes towards the Round winnings and half goes toward the overall winnings). Therefore, you can miss a round or two and still come out on top!

One thing to make sure of is that you don't miss the required Round 5 weigh-in. Everyone is required to have lost at least 6% at that point to continue so there are no unhealthy sprints to the finish.

This is all laid out in the very last category in the FAQs! https://support.waybetter.com/hc/en-us/articles/24340189536403-2025-Make-the-New-Year-Magic-Transformer-FAQs
