Diet Bet

I joined a diet bet today.  It's an online bet where you log in with your current weight, and your goal is to lose 4% of your starting weight in 4 weeks.  The bet on the one I joined was for $5.  After the 4 weeks are up, the people/person, that loses the 4% of their weight, gets the jackpot money.  I'm hoping this will help me some.

To begin, you have to take a full body pic, and a pic of the scales with you standing on them so that the site "judges" can verify that it looks valid (obviously they don't want a skinny person saying they weigh something larger and then saying they lost it all. lol).  Here are my pics...

They give you a word to use in your scale pic, so they know
it's a current pic and taken after they tell you to weigh in.

So, according to the math, I need to lose 8.2 lbs in the next 4 weeks (205 x .04 = 8.2).  I managed to lose right around 5.5 lbs in January, so I think with a little more dedication, I can do this.  Dedication means being more accurate with my calorie counting and measuring, and actually getting in a bit more exercise.
