Update: Lost 19 Pounds
Have gained around 20 lbs over the past six months, mostly due to work stress eating. Am going on a new diet, plan on getting a personal trainer, taking Adderall again, beeminders - the works. I will weigh myself on September 1st and if I am not ~20 lbs lighter than I am now (215) I will resolve this market no. I plan to heavily bet YES at slightly above my personal opinion of success.

@DeanValentine Ugh. I’m sorry to have won mana off your suffering, but not so sorry that I’ll stop.
So I didn't do anything I said I would in the description, and was like 210ish at the start of the month, but I did start water fasting on and off over the last few weeks. I didn't think I was going to make it, but I'm already 198 pounds so I might just slip under the 195 mark in the next few days. WML
My apologies for betting against you; think of it as me subsidizing your success. I’m going to point out that as written, this only resolves YES if you’re ~20lbs under your current weight. If you lose ~30lbs, this should resolve NO as currently written despite that being more weight loss than you’d hoped for.
@DeanValentine “I used to weigh 210lbs and now I weigh 160lbs. I lost 20lbs.” I do agree it doesn’t match the spirit of the market, though.
@JimHays No, I wasn’t. I believe that markets should be as specific as possible to avoid drama, though, and pointing out inconsistencies helps with that goal.
