It's interesting because at first I thought the question would be easy to answer but it is not. I do not want to put on 20 pounds but I don't want to lose $1,000 either, I cannot answer the question really. I need to give it a little more thought.

I'd take the money too... You could always get rid of the weight later... And if you're extra worried, invest some of the money in sports equipment to speed up the process

Lose $1,000 Vs Gain 20 Pounds

[The] topic says its lose the money or gain the weight and not the other way around. For me I will not lose the money simply because I don't gain weight much if at all and even if I did with my metabolism I'd probably lose it right away.

Lose $1 000 Gain 20 Pounds

I would love to gain 20 pounds, and I would even pay 1,000$ to do it. I have an abnormally high metabolism and at 6'0 I struggle to stay at 155 pounds, when I eat only 3 meals a day I will drop between 130-140 in a matter of weeks. This has becoming hard for my schedule to allow me to eat as much as I do to maintain a healthy body mass and I wish there was any other solution. I figure its because I do physical labor all day and then go to the gym after work, and I am aware that carbs are only in your system for 3 hours so eating at regular meal times is hard for me to not lose what I have worked hard to gain.
