A steep wager...

hey everyone! I'm not sure what motivates people to lose weight. I've been about 90lb overweight for nearly 10 years and have used every reason why. Energy, clothes fitting, setting an example, health improvement... But nothing ever kept me going. I do believe I've found my motivator.. Money. Lol. Well.. Actually. A wager. I told my best friend that If I didn't lose 75lb by the end of the year I would pay for her to go on a vacation (up to $2000)! And if (when) I lose 75 by 12/31 then we'll tour Europe together next summer. 
Anyone else use a wager or have success with using these kinds of rewards/risks??
