CLOSED: Kroger’s Pound for Pound Challenge & a $30 Gift Card Giveaway

 

  

The Kroger Co. Family of Stores, General Mills, NBC’s hit TV Show “The Biggest Loser” and other key sponsors are partnering to donate up to $1,080,000 to Feeding America this year through the Pound for Pound Challenge.

Here´s how you can help:

• Visit www.pfpchallenge.com/Kroger to make your pledge to lose weight and to get more information and to find tools to change your life for the better. It is free, easy and only takes a minute to make a change that can help you and help the hungry in your local community.
• Through June 30, 2010, for every pound you pledge to lose, the Pound For Pound Challenge will donate 14¢ to Feeding America® – enough to deliver one pound of groceries to a local food bank.
• Spread the word about the Pound for Pound challenge by “Like”-ing the Facebook page and publishing it to your Facebook community.

For my part, I have pledged to lose 5 pounds.  That doesn’t sound like much, but I have had such a hard time getting motivated to get healthy – I know if I can just lose the first 5 pounds, the results will encourage me to keep going.  I’ll be using a combination of exercise on the Wii Fit, our new Gazelle Edge, and implementing better eating habits (including LOTS of water!) to meet my goal.

To encourage you to pledge in the Pound for Pound challenge, Kroger is giving away a $30 gift card*, which you can use to purchase items like the General Mills products featured in The Biggest Loser diet (like Yoplait Greek yogurt, Total, and Multigrain Cheerios).  To enter, please answer in a comment to this post:  what’s the first step you will take (or have taken) to becoming more healthy?  US entries only, please.

For extra entries, chose any of the following and leave an individual comment telling me which method you used:

• Tweet about this giveaway (put username or link in comment)
• subscribe via RSS or email
• “friend” me via Google Friend Connect (see bottom of page)
• “Like” my blog’s new Facebook Page!

All entries due by 11:59pm (CST) Monday, June 21st.  Good luck!
