NO

My current weight is 225.1 lbs. Resolves YES if I weight less than this after the market closes at the end of the month and NO otherwise.

My current strategy for doing so is regular exercise on the rowing machine (see below) and moderate dieting.

do you weigh yourself daily, consistently at the same time? weight fluctuations are rather idiosyncratic so i wouldn't trust a one-day measurement

@diadematus Yes, though I might miss a day due to travel etc. The question will resolve to the first such measurement after the market close.

Any amount lower than your current weight will work? How much do you row and what is moderatile dieting in your view?

@TheWabiSabi Yes, any weight <= 225.0 will resolve YES, through ideally I’m aiming to lose at least two pounds. This month I’ve rowed for 1 hour a day on 11/15 days at an average speed of about 8 km/hour. For me moderate dieting involves avoiding snacks and sweet drinks as much as possible and replacing 3-4 high calorie meals a week with lower calorie options (e.g. soup, salad).
