Vote

This week’s question

I've been watching what I eat and doing a bit of exercise in an attempt to lose weight. I need to get rid of my gut as it's just too big now. The thing is, I haven't been weighing myself since I've started doing this. My last weight was at my last visit to the doctor's office. I'm not aiming high, just trying to drop around a pound a week. I have to go to the doctor's again this week on Thursday (for my annual physical) and I'll find out my weight then. It's possible I could have put on weight for all I know. Anyway, how much weight will I have lost on Thursday when I get weighed (5.5 weeks since my last weighing)?

Discussion on Current Vote:

You've found the EastBayRag vote page. Here, you get the opportunity to let us know what you think. Each week, we will have votes on important issues. Well, probably not important issues, more like trivial things that come to mind on a Sunday morning after a belly full of beer from a Saturday night.

This week's current vote is shown above. After the votes are in, EBR will provide in depth analysis of the results so you can find out if you are running with the crowd or if you're out there on your own. You never know, you may even learn something, but that's highly unlikely. Analysis of last week's vote is shown below. If you want to see historic votes, checkout the vote archives.

Oh! And the cool thing before I forget, the graphs update as you vote ...... Wow! And what's more, the colors are allocated randomly, so each time you refresh the page, you will see different colors on the graphs. (F5 is normally the shortcut key to refresh, but may depend on your browser.) Go on .... try it.

Of course you will. You will become obsessed for a few months and then drop it for another 20 years

I normally last a few years rather than a few months. Enough time for me to spend a lot of money on it, then look back and wonder why I spent all that money on it. Keeps me happy though.

Analysis:

I haven't bought any yet, but I think it's inevitable that I will. My guess is that I'll buy a lot before the end of the year.
