I recently celebrated hitting the 100 lb mark! I was so excited and wanted to Celebrate in a special way - I ended up donating 100 lbs of food to my local food bank. It was a special moment celebrating my amazing achievement.

I initially just posted a picture documenting it to my profile but since my profile is public many people saw it and commented favorably. Several people suggested I make a public post and suggest this to everyone. I wasn't sure if I wanted to do that but you know what - it is a great idea and ironically very fitting - so here it is -

I challenge everyone to donate food to your local food banks in honor of hitting your special landmarks - be it 100 lbs, 50, goal, etc.

CELEBRATE BY HELPING OTHERS!

That is an EXCELLENT IDEA!!!!! I am keeping that in mind for my 100lbs lost. I am going to start looking for a place to donate today!! I am like 20lbs from a 100lbs!!! YAY gives me something to look forward to!

WHOA your in KANSAS CITY MO?!?!?!??! I just noticed that I am in KCK!

i will have to say that is the best challenge i have seen yet. i am down 107 pounds and im going to do the same as you. i will take a pick and add it also. im going to also bring this up at the next support group meeting here.

i thank you very much for this idea.

and good luck with your new life.

maybe we can get this going and get it to a sticky.

On the news today, here in Atlanta, there was a piece that local food banks are struggling on a daily basis to keep up with the demand. They have set up a day in Atlanta (June 19) where you can drop off all donations at Publix grocery stores. I will add my 75 pounds (yeah, I'm only down 63 and a smidge but who's counting?)!

I like this...I'm in...
