Pound for Pound Challenge

So I don't know if you guys know this or not, but I am a huge fan of The Biggest Loser.   
(The one on TV.)
Some of you may have watched BL before and some of you have probably not.  If you have watched you may or may not have heard about the Pound for Pound Challenge they are doing.


Here are the details:

1 in 6 Americans struggle with hunger.  For every pound you pledge to lose through May 31, 2011, the Pound For Pound Challenge will donate 11¢ to Feeding America — enough to secure one pound of groceries on behalf of local food banks.

You all are doing awesome with your weight loss.  Why not help those in need be able to get some food at the same time you are getting healthier?  Sounds like a win-win to me. :)

I have set up a team for everyone to join.  Go to the Pound for Pound Challenge website and click Pledge Now.  Then just search for our group "Merkley Clan" and join!  Get everyone you know to join our team so we can lose our way to the top!!  Even if you have no weight to lose you can pledge to maintain your weight and Feeding America will donate 55¢ in your honor.

What are you waiting for?!  Get pledging!!
