Reason #2 Why You Should Pledge Your Pounds...

Because General Mills, who makes all sorts of healthy cereals and products, and who is sponsoring the Pound for Pound Challenge, has generously, to my absolute DELIGHT, offered to donate a prize of General Mills products to our winner!!!!!

THANK YOU GENERAL MILLS!

So don't forget to Pledge those Pounds because collectively we have lost over 1000 so far as a group! That's a TON!!!!!!!!!

Be proud of yourselves my friends, no matter what your contribution to that number is because that will be actual pounds of food donated to feed the hungry :-)

Pounds for Pounds Challenge!

Well whattya know, it looks like we may have gotten their attention after all! I received an email from the public relations for General Mills who is sponsoring the Pounds for Pounds Challenge that you hear about on The Biggest Loser and they thought that our challengers might also be interested in pledging their pounds lost to the cause of feeding the hungry.

How do ya do that? There are three ways to participate in the Pound For Pound Challenge:

1. Participants have until April 27th to pledge pounds and until May 5th to report their weight loss at www.PFPChallenge.com.
   
2. Mail-in the Pound For Pound lids and seals from specially-marked General Mills products. For every lid or seal mailed in, General Mills will donate 10 cents to Feeding America. Brands with the Pound For Pound lid or seal are included in this press release.
   
3. Donate directly to Feeding America by visiting www.PFPChallenge.com or www.biggestloser.com.

Well whattya think about that friends?! Your weight loss can directly influence how much food gets donated to people in need of food! HOW cool is that?

Thank you Samantha for your email!
