I was just wanting to remind everyone of my challenge for the community food pantry. Wouldn't it be great if we could donate 1300 or 1400 pounds of food. The would even appreciate 500 or 1000.
I am looking forward to taking in my 10 to 15 lbs. I only wish it could be more.
I have joined a team for the Walk across Kansas. So maybe I can keep the weight coming off and will be able to make a personal donation at the end of it also.
I would love that to be my way of thanking these groups for the added encouragement to get up and get moving.
I would love to hear some responses to this challenge. And please pass the word on. I do not think that a lot of the people participating are checking the Blog, or know what to do with it.

I was wanting to challenge each person to match our weight loss with a donation to the local food pantry. I know that I would rather donate 10 pound of potatoes, 5 lbs of flour or sugar, or a lb. can of vegetable to the food pantry than carry that weight around for the next year. It would be great if everyone would bring the weight they think they will lose in food to the final weigh-in on March 11th. This would be a SMALL thank you for the community for the motivation to get moving on the weight lose!!!!! I am sure thankful for the motivation, I needed to do it. It is always so easy to say "tomorrow", "when the weather gets better", or any number of other excuses. I know that each of us have had their own. This was just a good "DO IT NOW!!!!!!"
