**DWLZ "Pounds Lost" Food
Drive 11/15 - 12/31**
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey Zonies!!! This will be our FIRST ever DWLZ "Pounds Lost" Food
Drive, which will take place November 15th - December 31st.
I was in chat just now talking to a group of Zonies. One of the Zonies, Tess, came up with the idea of donating her POUNDS LOST in potatoes to a local shelter. We all thought it was a great idea! Hope you do too! Just think how many people we will be helping this Holiday Season! You may give your food to shelters, churches - wherever food is needed to help the less fortunate!
This is how it will work: For every pound you have lost you will donate 1 pound of food to your local shelter or other facility where food is needed. If you are just starting out on your journey then you can donate according to the amount of pounds you want to lose or your first 10% you want to lose! Everyone can participate! Don't feel you HAVE to donate your whole amount lost but please let's donate some food to the less fortunate!
I will be donating 95 lbs of food - (that's only 5 20lb bags of potatoes) Post here (Username/pounds of food donated/state donated in) when you have made your donation. We will have someone track the total pounds of food donated to shelters during this time!
Let's all share our SUCCESS on this Journey with others that are less fortunate!
When you've made your donation check in again on this thread so Susan can add your donation to our list:

Thanks Lissa - Al and I have 150 lbs of food going somewhere, someplace too!
I know my bowling alley runs a drive plus I'll check out all the shelters
in the area! I plan on spreading the food out and giving to several places
in need.

Here in Augusta they always have a couple of food drives before/during the
holiday. I've always donated here at the hospital, where we have a big "can".
Can't say I've ever put in 55lbs of something before That's enough to feed
an entire family!!

I'll join in, too! 55 lbs from Utah - this will be so cool to see the numbers
add up. (Well, Utah won't add up much - not too many Zonies here!)
I'm thinking potatoes ($1.99 right
now for a 20 lb bag) and maybe a turkey, too. I'll post when it's done!

Talk about great minds thinking alike
Our Weigh-To-Go group that meets every Tuesday has been talking about doing this very thing! Our local churches "adopt" one or more families each Christmas. Our group is going to donate food equal to our total weight loss to the church we use for our meetings. I'll post the total amount we donate and maybe a picture or two. Now THIS is what the holiday's are all about

What a great idea this is! I totally want to be a part of it.
I'm 10.8 pounds away from my 10% goal of 34, and as soon as I hit that (I'm
hoping for early December), I'll be donating a 14 pound turkey and 20 pounds
of potatoes. 34 (hopefully) pounds, IL. I'll let you know when it's been done.

This idea is the best. We have a food drive ongoing at our church. It's run

Does dog food count? I always go in with a group of girls I know to buy for
a special family that we "adopt". I am also a sucker for dogs. I
have three "babies" myself, one of which came from the shelter,
and I always give to them every year also. So if it's ok I would like to donate
30 pounds of food to the "puppy shelter" and 30 pounds of food to
our "adopted family". This is such a neat idea. Thank you guys for
thanking of it. Have a wonderful and blessed holiday season!

Well, mine is done. I ended up donating dollars instead of pounds of food
to a local needy family. I decided this would probably work better since we
were donating to a particular family rather than to a food bank. This way
they could buy the meats, veggies, etc. that their family likes.

Dropped off my donation yesterday, it ended up being 16 lbs. instead of 15,
I lost a lb. and had to go buy some more green beans! I carried the bags upstairs
to weight them, and can't believe I ever walked up and down those stairs all
day long carrying that extra weight! I made everyone I knew pick up those
bags so they could feel it too!

Hi Folks!
It's sort of hard for me to tell who's gonna and who's a done deal by some of the postings. So far, it looks like AmySueR and Lissa are the ones who have already actually made donations, and the list at the beginning of the post has been updated to reflect those two generous ladies! I want to make sure that everyone gets credit where credit is due, so if you have already donated, please let me know your

15 pounds of food will be donated in NY. It might get canned goods (16 ounces

15 pounds worth of food for me, so he can appreciate the amount of weight
I lost. <smiling> Will advise when completed.. Debz

While I haven't done my donation of 96 lbs of food yet, I did mention it at
my WW meeting, and I have thrown out the challenge to all the members. My
leader, Faye, is also taking my challenge to her 3 other meetings. While technically
these are not Zonies, I will be tallying the amounts we donate to our local
food bank for our leader. Another WW leader at the meeting has said she will
bring it up to the local management...so it grows and grows ladies. I will
post both my donation and the donations I have encouraged so you can see how
we do up here in Canada! Thanks for the idea.

Well, Gang - it looks like the Western portion of the country has taken this
food drive by storm! California is in the lead with donations of food/$ representing
a whopping 185 lbs! Wooohooo! Washington is a close second with Dotti and
Al's 150 lb contribution. Utah comes in 3rd with Librarylady's 55 lbs. Alaska
is next with Akmom's 45 lbs. Also making showings so far:
New York, Texas, Germany. Many thanks to those who have contributed food or
dollars for food so far - we've made contributions representing a total of
495 lbs! Let's continue put that Zonie power to work!
I forgot to mention that I just stuck
a check in the mail to our local Foodbank for $20, and will take more food
down there as I (hopefully) take off a few more lbs this month.

Pounds lost Food Drive
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi All, Today I had my first weigh-in. I have 173 pounds to lose, so I will
donate 75 pounds of pet food to the animal shelter and 100 pounds of rice
and beans to our Migrant Head Start Program here in Southern Oregon. Thanks
for the inspiration!

Ok.. our Weigh-To-Go group met tonight and everyone brought non-perishable
food to equal the pounds lost.
Are you ready? ? ? ? ?
336 pounds of food (that's from seven people) - 100 pounds of that represented me!
That does not include the 35 pounds Rick has lost! So, Susan.. please add 35 to that 336. That makes 371 pounds from the Texas Hill Country. Competitive? You bet! Surely, Texas will have the other states beat!

January 2002

I just got on this site and am blown away by the idea of donating our lost
weight in food. Add Ky. to the chart now as I'll be donating 30 pounds of
food to our Meals Ministry at my church. There is a WW mtg at my church, too
so I'm going to suggest this to them.
Thanks for caring everyone

they loved the idea. Add 15 pounds of food to New York! Debz

Thanks everyone who has participated so far in our first ever DWLZ Food drive! Come on everyone - lets join in across the
nation and give those LOST pounds in food/$$$ to your local food banks, shelters
and churches to help those less fortunate than ourselves! Susan

of food/$$$ donated! Let's go for over a ton!!!!
Al and I donated our 150 lbs between us

Add another 30 pounds for Donna in Alaska- On Sunday the priest sent out word
that Christmas baskets had been requested and now we needed food to fill it
I dropped the children at home and went shopping. Our church usually makes
up Thanksgiving baskets but this year was the first time they have had requests
for Christmas baskets too ( other area churches must have been swamped)

Wow! Our DWLZ "Pounds Lost" Food Drive donations now add up to 1,811.7
lbs! If we can get just 188.3 more lbs worth of food donated, that will make
a TON of food that the Zonies have provided for the holiday season! Come
on, folks - those 10 and 20 lb donations add up! Let's see if we can hit 2000
lbs by Midnight on December 31!
Donations have been made in various
ways:
* Food weighing the amount of weight that the Zonie lost
* Number of cans or containers of food representing the number of pounds lost.
* Monetary contribution equivalent to the number of pounds lost.
* We've had 2 shining star that got their groups to pitch in, too!
Many thanks to the folks who have already helped out! Please doublecheck the post at the beginning of this thread to make sure that I've given proper credit where credit is due! Thanks again, and hope to be able to add a few more names to the list in the next couple of days!

I just clicked on this page to see what it was all about and I am happy to
report that on Christmas Eve DH and I donated a big box of groceries to our
local food bank. We have decided to make it an annual tradition, to try to
give back a little for all of the blessings we have received How many pounds
it was, I'm not sure, but I'd say at least 50. What a great idea this is!!
You all are the best!!

Just wrote a second check to the Utah Food Bank. It's nice to be in a position
to help. There's a lot of hungry people, the pantry is low, and people are
out of work. Total from librarylady is now
$100 even. Can't seem to catch up to Texas, though . . .

Here's the latest on the Food Drive, folks! In the last 2 days, we've added
over 1000 more lbs to our total! To date,
Zonies and friends and employers have donated 2856.7 lbs. worth of food to
Charity! But wait...There's still time left
for you to donate food representing your number of pounds lost on this journey!
This Food Drive doesn't end until midnight on New Year's Eve! Many
thanks to all who have spent the time, dollars and effort to help those less
fortunate. DWLZ truly is a winning team!

she will get up the nerve to post in the near future, and I hope she does.
She's a lovely lady who you will enjoy getting to know, as I have.
