Checked your spare recently--the spare tire around your waist? If it's been getting bigger,maybe it's time to go green--as in cold, hard cash. A recent study shows that men who are paid to lose weight drop more pounds.So you might set up a weight-loss compensation program. Arrange for your wife to pay you for each pound you shed. Or round up colleagues who also need to lose and start a pool. Each gym visit entitles you to a certain amount, with a bonus thrown in for choosing salad over pizza at lunch meetings.
