So, I decided that I was going to donate food to a local food pantry for every pound I lose...here is the first 39 pounds worth on its way to be delivered to a local food pantry.

cool idea!

Awesome idea!

Thanks! It is really cathartic...

What a great idea!!!

That's awesome! That's what Shelly did, according to eggface! Everyone should check out her blog! She's got giveaways, recipes and great info!

Damn, I so wanted to be original . I have seen her blog, but missed that part of her story...I have tried some of her recipes and have bookmarked others...she is great, I agree.

No way! That's still super awesome! I'm sure she wasn't the first one to think of it I think it's amazing what your doing! I'd like to do that also, and donate all my bigger clothes! Congrats on the weight loss!

Great idea! I am planning on donating all my clothes that are too big to a local woman's shelter. Many of the ladies that go to a shelter arrive with just the clothes they are wearing, so woman's shelters are always looking for clothes. I have some really nice clothes too, so there are going to be some happy ladies!

You can also help out people here on VST that need something or another depending on their circumstance. There are many ways to give back, pay it forward or whatever you want to call it all around us. You just need to look and then just let it happen. Trust me, you will feel giddy after giving selflessly to others. Have a nice day!

Totally...I already helped out a fellow VSTer by sending her some new workout clothes that I didn't care for, but hadn't returned. Shipped them to her for free and all...felt awesome :-)
