Not to sound like a weird al video but, you guys aint fat! I'm 285 at 6'. I need to get back down to 225. I think the weight is a factor in why I've been having so many probs with my back!!! I too have a soft spot for the dr. But I can't drink too much soda down here in the heat lol. I think my biggest prob is with portions (and the occasional donut, mmmmm donut in my best homer simpson). Don't know about the wager part, but I'm down with losing weight.
