Would money be a factor?

This is a hypothetical question, but would you be able to engage in a rigorous dieting program if you were being offered a large sum of money upon success? If you had no other motivation whatsoever except for money, would that actually inspire you to get going?

I think one needs money to be on a diet. I pay for my sport classes and this is not that cheap. I also eat healthy food and a lot of fruits and veggies. All these are increased expenses I am willing to make. Sure, I'd feel even more inclined to lose that weight if I was offered money ;)

I noticed I spend more too with the diet and the sports. But it's for a good cause and I do have the money I need. I don't need money to motivate me. I work on my diet as much as I can without needing payment, my good results are the best payment

It would be wrong for me to start doing something about my weight problem only because of the chance of getting paid. I wouldn't mind having such a prize at the end of my weight loss program, but I think I can do this without it. The biggest pay would be seeing I lost the weight. Then I'll have to prevent myself from getting obese again
