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!!!!!!"
