Lose a Pound Per Week, or Donate to Charity

First World Problems often require First World Solutions.  I've decided to incentivize myself to lose weight by donating in increments of $5 each week to a charity of choice if I do not meet my weight goal of one pound per week (with diet and exercise) every week.

Today, Tuesday, August 19th (2014) is day one.

According to the video, I approximated myself at about 180 lbs.  It turns out the diagnosis is far worse, the bathroom scale clocked me in at 186 lbs.  Cross your fingers and hope for 185 lbs next Tuesday.  I will be updating this post periodically with polls and other figures keeping you updated with my vitals and allowing you to decide which charity will get the spoils of my failure.

TUESDAY (AUGUST 19TH):  186 LBS
