Now he's talking about making a bet to motivate him to lose some of his big butt. The last time I saw him about 5 years ago he looked like a fat slob, and from his most recent LVA article he apparently isn't any different today.
Why write about this stuff when he's his own worst enemy in his battle of the bulge? WTF does he expect when he sits at video poker machines all the time under the guise of 'I'm working"!?
My advice to him--and I really do advise him to heed the word, esp. @ his age--is to dump the stupid "motivation bet" and stick with the only true way to lose the pounds: MOVE MORE AND EAT LESS. And guess what? It's a proven advantage play. It doesn't cost a dime.....
