Lose weight and Gain dough (the good kind!)

For those of you who don't know about Dietbet yet, it is based on the idea that if you put money on a commitment, you're more likely to stick to it.   

Please check out: Amanda Russell's Dietbet page and Sarah Dussault's Dietbet page.  I've joined both, so it's costing me $30 each, to a total of $60 (you can join up to 5 Dietbets at a time), and the idea is that the participants who are able to lose 4% of their initial body weight will get their commitment amount plus a little extra back at the end of the Dietbet.  Since I'm aiming to lose 20 pounds by the big 3-0, I might as well win a little money while I'm at it!
