Well, I have four days to go and unfortunately I'm four pounds away from goal. I'm not going to do something completely stupid like starve myself or exercise myself into exhaustion so it looks like I'm not going to win this one.

HOWEVER

I have lost weight and I am less than two pounds from getting back under 200. That is what I am going to strive for over the next few days. Even though it will suck to lose the money and not hit the goal, it's progress and I'll take it.

 I knew I was starting this DietBet several days in and I also knew I had an out of state conference to attend where it would be difficult to lose weight. However I have been able to mostly avoid the Halloween candy at work and I guess it was worth the $25 for that alone. 

Finally, I still don't seem to have the energy to exercise. Something's not feeling right and I think it's time to get to the doc to see if something's up.
