The Herald Bulletin, Anderson, Indiana

The holidays are bearing down on us with all the goodies, the big meals, the extra pounds gaining ground. We are all very close to the next step - losing all that weight we gained! That usually comes with a New Years resolution. Well we have a BIG help that might give you the motivation and inspiration to follow through.

For every pound you lose, General Mills will donate 10¢ to Feeding America™ - enough to provide one pound of groceries to a local food bank - including Second Harvest Food Bank of East Central Indiana.

Go online at: http://www.pfpchallenge.com/. Sign up, pledge to lose weight and follow the Biggest Loser training tips, find recipes, learn how sending in box tops will help and report your final results between 4/1/09 and 5/5/09.

I pledged to lose 20 pounds and hurt already just thinking about it. I start Jan 5th and will need lots of encouragement. So join me, we can encourage each other!!! When I just checked 273,000 pounds have been pledged - wow, I feel skinnier already!
