Steemit Weight Loss Challenge Plus - Bounty: Earn 15 SBD

Hi All,

I just came across @queenmountain’s post on the #steemitweightlosschallenge and I liked the idea of creating an immutable record of a weight loss commitment. I am going to take the challenge one step further and offer a bounty in the event of my failure. If I am unable to meet my goal, I will transfer 15 STEEM DOLLARS to the first 30 direct commenters on this post. That is a 450 STEEM DOLLAR payout in the event of my failure. Of course fulfillment of my obligation is all based on trust, but I am a person of my word and the funds are currently in my wallet.

I have added my own tag - #steemitweightlosschallengeplus - for anyone who wishes to participate in the challenge and offer a bounty on their success, or lack thereof.

About Me:

I am 35 years old, 5’ 9”, and I have always been a little overweight. For the past year or two my baseline has shifted above 200 pounds and recently I have been beginning to push 210. I have decided I need to get a handle on this now for it will only get more difficult as I get older. Currently I am 207.2 pounds.

Time frame: By December 31st 2016

Weight loss goal: 175 pounds.

That is a total loss of 32.2 pounds in approximately 4.5 months – which is pretty fast but still within the recommended range for healthy weight loss.

Plan: Sleep more, drink less, do a little running, and actually eat some green stuff.

Here is my before photo (cartoonified to lessen the shame):  

If I receive some commenters I'll be sure to keep them updated on my progress periodically.

Wish me luck. I’ll need it!  

And please join the challenge if you need to drop a few pounds!
