Do you want to Lose for Good?

The great people over at Weight Watchers are supplying me with two 3-month memberships to Weight Watchers online to give away on my blog in any way I choose.
I have been racking my brain trying to figure out a way to give these away and have finally come up with what I am going to do.

• I am going to hold this contest open to everyone who has a blog.
• You need to create a post on your blog talking about these three things: 1) Telling your readers about the Lose for Good campaign 2) Why you want to win the 3 month membership to Weight Watchers online 3) Your favorite healthy recipe or food to eat.
• Come back here and leave me a comment with a link back to your post.
• This contest will stay open until 11:59pm Thursday, September 11. I will choose a winner (using random.org) *Note: you will not be included in the random drawing if you do not post all 3 things in your blog* I will email the winners and post the results on Friday morning.

Good luck to you all!!

Lose for Good!

Somehow Weight Watchers found their way to my blog. I was contacted by a woman, who I will call E, about a campaign that WW is involved in. It's called the Lose for Good campaign. She asked if I would be interested in participating in this challenge, blogging about it and trying to get readers involved as well. I couldn't say no!
For every pound lost with Weight Watchers during a six-week period, beginning September 7 and ending October 18, Weight Watchers will donate the cost of one pound of food -- up to one million dollars. The funds will go to two hunger-fighting organizations: Share Our Strength, which works to make sure no child in America grows up hungry, and Action Against Hunger, which provides immediate and long-term solutions for hunger to people around the world. .

Some more information I have received and can relay to you all:

• According to the World Health Organization, there are 1.6 billion overweight people in the world and at the same time, in 2007 there were 862 million people in the world that were underfed.
• Lose for Good is a charitable effort that addresses two important epidemics: hunger and obesity, by empowering people to get healthier while also doing good for others in need.
• The chosen organizations are Share Our Strength, the leading organization working to make sure no kid in America grows up hungry, and Action Against Hunger, an organization that helps feed people in troubled parts of the world.
