Money the Ultimate Motivator

I read recently in a women’s magazine (I think ELLE?) about a weight-loss strategy that’s truly hilarious. Apparently there’s a website out there where you can enter in your weight loss goal and a financial “wager” if you will. And if you don’t reach your goal – you have to relinquish that money. You can set it up so that the money goes to charity, or even more comical – an ex-boyfriend or an old enemy. I won’t be signing up anytime soon, but I guess if you’re desperate it must be a pretty effective strategy. And it just goes to show you, money really is the ultimate motivator.
