I have been losing weight, on a bike which some may think looks stupid. I have now lost 26 kg or 57 pounds. I may add 20 years to my life, and avoid diabetes and high blood pressure. How stupid is that?
Congrats on the weight loss! However, I'm not sure that the mechanically suspect configuration of that thing had anything to do with it. Hopefully you'll ponder it further and avoid injury. A wired jaw and gaps in your teeth won't help you look smart.
