    I sometimes wonder about inviting people to come stay with me for a fee. Stay with me, eat with me, chat with me, lose weight. :D

    At the end of it, either it will go well and we'll both be happy, or my guest will end up grilling me over a BBQ for food.

    why would you pay out £855 to lose weight????

    that money would buy me a whole new wardrobe 5 times over!!!!!!

    Just stick to eating sensibly and exercising and you will lose weight and have money to spend on yourself without having to fork out all that money.

    I think its too much pressure to put on someone to get paid for losing weight. What happens when you dont reach your target for that month? You already feel down because you've not lost as much weight as you'd hoped and you wouldnt have any £'s for lb's.

    Different strokes for different folks but i would much rather have a completely new wardrobe :-D)

    The £855 paid out would give me about £2000 profit if I lost the weight
