Great Idea!

So, a few nights ago, I was looking online to find out how many calories mashed potatoes had, and I came across a GREAT website. It's sparkpeople.com. It's a FREE weight loss website. I decided to look it over later that evening, and signed up for an account. Tonight I was looking through some of the posts other members have put on the message boards and came across the best idea. Every month, figure out how many pounds you've lost, then donate the same amount of weight in canned goods to your local food bank! That way, not only are you doing yourself good, but you are helping others as well! Plus, it's a good reminder when your carrying that food just how much you've actually lost! I'm going to do this! I'm down about 5 already! Those cans are going to add up and really help someone!!

Can I just tell you I've been on sparkspeople off and on for probably 2 years... it's amazing! When I used it I lost every time. I quit using it when the ulcer hit because, well, I didn't need anymore help loosing weight and logging my 400 calorie a day intake got depressing! I love sparkspeople though and think it's great for anyone trying to ditch some weight!
