No- I'm sorry--that's like asking --on a grander scale--"Ladies--would you sleep with a guy for a million dollars"--no- there is no amount of money offered to me that I would do anything for--I consider it bribery in a form. People offer money for different reasons I know--errands ans such--that's different--things like this are much different--this is asking you to do something to change your appearance-to perhaps put your health into a risk category that you may not be able to change back so quickly.

No. It would cost more than that to buy the food to put on the 15 pounds, not to mention the clothes I would have to buy. And if offered more, probably not.

i guess not.. 500bucks isn't alot but 15lbs is alot. i'm happy with the way i am now so why bother to put on weight on purpose? if its natural, as in your BMR suddenly drops alot, then u can't help it. however, maybe if the amount was 1000 times more, i would agree. bcos i can go for slimming at the end and still have money to spare! =)

No. It wouldn't be worth it for $500.00 It would cost more than that to get it back off. Maybe for $25,000.00; or for a staring role in a academy award movie.

No because there would be no amount of money that would compensate for the effort that would be needed to lose the 15 pounds, you can keep your $500.00.

If you asked this question in Ethiopia, They'd gladly put on twice that weight for free!

No way! If i was really thin then maybe. But I'm not, and it waould take me ages and a lot more cost to lose the excess weight.. so no way.

Nope -- I'd feel worse about myself. I'm already overweight. My self-esteem is more important than mulah

No, because it would be very difficult for me to lose them afterwards... For me more important to be happy with my self and healthy than to gain some money...
