Pound for pound challenge

TracieJ65

I sure wish that I would have known about this 90 pounds ago! There could be 90 pounds of food, at a food bank, because of me, if I had known. So I am going to post here for others to learn about it so we can all make sure food is being donated to food banks during our weight loss. Pound for pound is a program that donates a pound of food to local food banks for every pound that you challenge to lose. In today's economy there are A LOT of food banks that are stretched to the limit, so if you are going to lose weight why not make sure that food banks are getting your lost weight in food. Please everyone go to www.thebiggestloser.com and read about the pound for pound program and do something that you don't even have to spend money on!

You rock, TracieJ65! I've heard about it and haven't done it, but I totally will!

Actually each person can only pledge up to 50lbs. I did my part. I've lost almost half of it so far...it's a great thing, though. Losing weight gets you healthy and gets food to people who need it at the same time!

* I lost 12 lbs before joining MFP *

Actually I have posted on my home page, to my friends list, to see if any of them would like to make a team, and do this together. Just a suggestion for others. We are all trying to lose weight, anyway, so why not help others at the same time? Tis the season, RIGHT?

If any of you are interested in joining the team that I created, on www.pfpchallenge.com , the name is MFP Charitable Losers. I picked the Huntington, WV food bank simply because it was a town spotlighted on The Rachael Ray show, a year ago! As being one of the worst hits towns b the economy. She returned there last month and most of the families are only able to eat because of the local food bank. So I figured it was a good town and wasn't where any of my actual friends list, or I, are from.
