It was a good goal to set, and I'm glad I set it.

Unfortunate to lose a ton of mana of course, but i don't regret (quite the opposite really) trying to lose weight and being healthier in general.

I'll try again harder in the new year.

Thank you all for participating, motivating, giving all the advice, and of course, correcting the market to the right prices. Have a great new year and remember that goals become way more achievable, all you gotta do is start and make tiny progress.

@firstuserhere The data ends at 85.45 kg, and your goal was 85.20 kg. In every relevant sense except market resolution, I think you succeeded :)

@firstuserhere pretty close!

Having updated after midnight 12/30 with a datapoint for 12/30 is highly suspicious. It gives him 48 hours to try to drop below the line. It's just what he'd do if he was seriously going for this and wanted to cause as much chaos and drama as possible.

Are you on a keto diet? If not, that's an easy and relatively safe option for rapidly losing 1.5+ kg of water weight. The keto diet works by depleting your body’s glycogen stores, which are typically ~500g of glycogen, with each gram bound to 3-4 grams of water. If you just cut out carbs now and do some anaerobic exercise, you can burn through these glycogen stores in time.

@firstuserhere Why did you resolve this 9 hours early when you only have 250 g to lose?

@HedShock I had a flight to take

Cut off all hair. Shave body. Clip all nails as far back as they go. Book flight to country with same-day appointments for wisdom teeth removal and tonsil removal. Don’t eat the airplane food. Exfoliate (roughly). Leeches. Blood donation. Shave body again. Q-tips to remove earwax. Dry sauna, air dryer to remove sweat. Chew gum briefly until salivating. Spit out gum and spit out saliva repeatedly. Weigh.

@benshindel are you even betting on this market? 😂😂

@shankypanky I’m hoping he’s FUH’s dietician.

@benshindel This guy gets it

@shankypanky Not really lol

these FUH markets are a wild ride

we've really swung the pendulum from the most wholesome corner of the internet steps market, to "maybe just don't eat or drink or celebrate or move or worry about your health at all until you resolve, k?" weight loss market

there's something for everyone on Manifold 🌠

@shankypanky don't forget the, "Please, sir, bet one single mana today. I beg you," market for people who want that option!

I didn't forget, I thought I'd lob that one up for you 🤜🤛

Still pretty easy to game weighting by around 1kg. Just weigh yourself after not eating for several hours and dehydrating yourself one way or another. There shouldn't be any issue with doing this 3 days in a row.

/market will anyone encourage FUH to get an eating disorder

@Shump I was about to say the same thing. A day of minimally eating plus a mild laxative and diuretic would do it. @firstuserhere I suggest eating just a little granola & yogurt in the morning (or something even lighter), and drink a bunch of coffee.

Then poop, pee, spit, and fast until weigh-in.

@Joshua Sorry if it seems like I meant something like that. Sure, it could get dangerous if we were talking about losing 2-3 kilos this way, but less than 1 just requires you to take advantage of the natural fluctuations in your weight. Simply weighing in the morning before breakfast might be enough.

Fast 48 hours for charity: $2000 in donate-able manifold money?

The man is already donating half his 100k steps mana, what more can we ask of him?

three days of severe dehydration, to start

@shankypanky *moderate dehydration

three days of spitting might tip over into the severe category but I'm not a doctor

Number Go Up

@Joshua that just makes it easier for FUH to get cheap shares from you since he still has ~47 hours to fast.

@Jacy And keep it off for three days? Sounds like a terrible way to spend New Year's.
