10% Off All Fat

(Get ready for a Super-Cliche blog post about someone else's potential attempts at losing weight. Read at your own risk of not being entertained.)

I am absolutely, fully, totally aware that weight is not the best indicator of body mass health. I also know that measurements like BMI are not tailored specifically for individuals, and they don't take things like muscle into account (actually, if you look the BMI of most professional athletes, they would be considered "overweight" because of the large amount of muscle that most pros have). I've heard from many experts that the best way to measure your body mass health is how well your clothes fit.

Well, I don't care. I like numbers. For example, this article is already 4 sentences too long. That's why the 10% Off Special starts this summer. It's a personal challenge that I'm looking forward to. I will take 10% off my body weight by June 21, which is 19.38 pounds. If I don't get 10% off by that date, I'll post a coupon that entitles you to one free 20-oz. bottle of Gatorade in Cupertino, CA. FREE GATORADE!

This would take me from "Fat" to just "Overweight" on the BMI chart, which is absolutely ridiculous.

Please feel free to join me over the next four months, whether you want to lose weight or gain it or whatever.

It's on like Donkey Kong. Who is pretty fat, by the way.
