Have you ever had a friend or co-worker who enjoys making friendly bets to Self improve?

For instance, you could bet on losing X amount of weight this month?

Last year, I made a similar bet to gain some weight (I'm very thin). So in my case my friend was also thin so we make a Bet to reach some Amount of weight before the end of the month. The bet wasn't a big deal it was only to buy a full meal for the other person just in case of not meet the expected weight. For example If my friend don't reach the expected weight and I reach it, then my friend should pay my meal. I that occasion we both reach the the expected weight and none of us need to pay the other person meal.

Do you have some similar story?, please share it, i would like to read it.

I loved your story and, yes... I've already participated in a similar bet with my wife that turned into a journey of transformation for our health.

We challenged each other to lose weight... me three and her five (don't worry... she had a lot more than me  Tongue ). We dedicated ourselves to the gym together three times a week and on the weekends we walked in the park. The bet stopped being something individual and became something collective, a pleasurable activity that we did as a couple. Obviously we achieved our weight loss goals... she lost a lot more than I did  Cool

No one won the bet either, but the health benefits we achieved were much greater than the bet itself.

I think that bets like these, especially when shared with friends or loved ones, can create unforgettable memories and strengthen bonds.
