Let's take the time to pat each other on the back!

I hope you'll check out the new thread where I have noted a couple of our members' success. I would like to try to put a shout out to all our member success but this team is huge and I need your help. The thread is there for all of us to post a link or a note about any of our friends here on this team who have been logging some successes....Note: the success doesn't have to be only pound related either...all our goals and efforts aren't necessarily noted on the scale.

Let's cheer each other on!!!

Turn our pounds lost to the food pantry's gain!----Challenge

Hello team, At this time of year our local food pantrys reach out to the community for help in stocking the shelves and I thought it would be a great challenge for us to turn our weight loss into foods to line their shelves.

Here's the idea: Starting this weekend, if you wish to participate in the challenge, collect canned or dry goods equalling your wt loss on your weigh in day....stack those foods up in a visible place so you have visible proof of all the weight you are losing....You're doing great aren't you?...the first end point in this challenge is just before Thanksgiving (US- which is Nov 25) when you can take all those cans, bags and boxes to your local food pantry. The second end date will be just before Christmas when we will do the same. Since we all are in a different place on our sparkjourneys and economically as well feel free to modify the challenge...for me since I a basically at maintenance I will be tying my donation to my ST--a dollar a day for doing my scheduled ST with a 5 dollar bonus for each 7 day streak, of course if I lose weight during this time I'll also collect food but I would anticipate not much change there. My cash collected will help my food pantry to fill the gaps on their shelves.

This team is big so even if only some of us do this, we can make a big dfference in someone elses lives...and it will be for each of our local communities!

How bout it? Will you join me?
