Losing weight is ridiculously simple. Just switching to a Paleo diet, one could lose that weight in 3-4 months. Add in strength training (can be simple like doing bodyweight exercises), and you can lose it even faster.

That’s so true, unfortunately. People deny their own debt all day long :(

It’d be easier for me to lose that 25lbs than to pay off debt so of course I would go with the gain the weight over the debt. I can work out an hour a day for a few months and get rid of it…I would have to make thousands of dollars an hour to be able to pay the debt off in the same amount of time.

First of all, congrats on your weight loss! That is wonderful, and definitely admirable!! I lost 20 lbs a couple years ago and the cost was significant – but from a psychological standpoint, buying smaller clothes is great motivation. Something tells me that shopping to clothe a 25+ lb body would be not quite as fun. I’m not at all surprised that your shoe size changed – it just furthers my assertion that gaining 25 lbs would be expensive!

It would be harder to lose the 25 lbs.Plus, if I gained 25 lbs on my small frame, I would start having health issues. Not to mention without plastic surgery it’s hard to lose the extra skin!

Then I’d lose it really quickly. But if it were permanent, then no way!
