I laugh at those of you who consider yourselves not doing well. Only because you can't see how awesome you are!!
On my front, I made some more moves that have resulted in a more direct and immediate financial impact. I had my physical today, and my doctor (rightly) didn't trust that all (and I do mean all) of my stats that need work can be fixed with nutrition...specifically, not drinking. So to that end, I announced to the office that I was giving 10 to 1 odds ($10 max) on me dropping my BMI by 2 points over 2 weeks. 28.7 is my current number. I didn't know, until just now exactly what that entailed. Granted...I kind of cheated. I was fasting, my measurements were taken in the morning. I've weighed myself daily, and 203lbs is on the high side. I usually average about 198lbs. That means I need to get down to ~185lbs by 3/4/15, or else I need to pay 4 people $100 bucks each. I'm not going to offer that same thing here, just because 15lbs seems like a lot to lose in 2 weeks without doing the weird things that wrestlers, boxers, and UFC fighters do to get into a specific weight bracket. However, I will give 5 to 1 odds ($1 maximum) to anyone here who wants to support (or...technically...root for my failure :P) me. I will drop below 190 by March 4th, and my average for the week following will stay under 190. But only if you quote this post in the next 12 hours (and you will be responsible for that $1USD). I know, I'm being sneaky, but I'm also going to hedge my bets.
Who's in?
