Last year I got involved with Weight Watchers’ Lose for Good campaign. I might have mentioned it a time or two.
It’s that time again – today’s the Lose-a-Palooza. Here’s how the Weight Watchers people explain it:
Could the weight you lose help fight world hunger? Weight Watchers has designed a program to accomplish this. This September, the third annual Lose for Good campaign will strive to relieve world hunger.
Between September 5 and October 23, the Lose for Good campaign is teaming up members, online subscribers and charitable organizations to donate up to 1 million dollars to leading hunger-fighting organizations. These organizations, Share Our Strength and Action Against Hunger, will benefit from members’ weight loss and other activities.
Additionally, Weight Watchers’ Lose-a-Palooza campaign is a fun, easy way to spread the word and one of many activities you can join to encourage participation in the Lose for Good campaign. On September 14, you can encourage your friends and followers to help fight world hunger using your favorite social network. It is a one-day social media event where $1 will be donated every time Lose for Good is mentioned on blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare or through a Lose For Good Twibbon on your profile picture. You can also use the hashtag #LoseforGood to help spread the word and raise funds.
Pretty cool, huh?
This campaign is what got me started on Weight Watchers last year, and I truly believe it changed my life.
Unfortunately, I, for one, have apparently consumed a few too many ice cream cones this summer and have put on a couple pounds (but I’ve been running like crazy so it’s probably muscle, right? Nah, probably the ice cream cones) and it is time for me to get back on track. Lose-a-Palooza is the perfect time for that – it combines two of my favorite things, Weight Watchers and social media! I am back on board. You heard it here first, people. Hold me to it!
If you’ve been waiting for a reason to join Weight Watchers (like I was for years), let Lose for Good be it! You won’t regret it, I promise.
Congrats, I’ve lost 32 pounds and kept if off for five years.
Pretty stoked about that.
UP
