Finally, a surefire way to lose weight

Summary: I’m proud to announce that I have just entered my 27th year of trying to lose 5 pounds. Not many fatties have the perseverance to keep trying to lose 5 pounds, and failing, for 27 consecutive years, but I do. In honor of this milestone, my wife bought me a Fitbit wristband, which miraculously monitors how many steps you take each day. And as a bonus, among other things, it also lets you know how long you sleep at night, including light sleep versus deep sleep.
