But first.
Friends. Foodies. Pledgers. Lend me your ear!
I just want you to know that even though the Bariatric Foodie Pledge is in the spirit of fun and support, I sort of take the grand prize seriously. To me, when you win something big, and you worked really hard for it, it’s that much better to know that everyone else did too. Which is why I am a stickler about the rules of this Pledge.
I know that participating in the Bariatric Foodie Pledge involves doing a lot of stuff. That’s by design. The point of this contest is to help you be accountable to yourself. Not to a prize. Not to me. To YOU. Sometimes in life being accountable to you can get messy, just as this Pledge often can! But it’s worth it!
And I knowthat as time has gone by I have posted fewer reminders about things. That is also by design. Just as you can’t rely solely on any one tool you’re using to do the work for you, you can’t solely rely on ME to remind you to be accountable to yourself. After all, this thing ends in another week-and-some-change. After that, you need to keep rocking toward your goals.
I say all that to say that if I ask you about where you pledged or checked in, I'm not trying to be a bother. If I try to verify your pledge or check-in, I'm not making any statement against you personally. And, sadly, if I have to tell you I can't add you to a list because you've missed a deadline, it brings me absolutely NO pleasure. It's my job to run the fairest Pledge I can. Anything I ask of you or require from you is solely for that purpose!
So…having said all THAT...I’d like to announce the week 3 prize winners! You’ll remember that this week you were pledging for a shot at one of three containers of BiPro USA unflavored whey protein. Congratulations to:
- Maureen H. (Favorite Movie: None…btw, was that a good movie?)
- Melissa T. (Favorite Movie: Frozen)
- Monica P. (Favorite Movie: Pretty Woman)
You should have already received an email from me with instructions on how to claim your prize but if not, please email me at bariatricfoodie@yahoo.com by 11:59 p.m. EST Wednesday, February 26 to claim your prize. After that, I must redraw!
And last but not least, here’s the list of people who remain eligible for the grand prize. To be on this list you had to have both pledged AND checked-in for weeks 1, 2 and 3 AND pledged for week 4. If you are not on this list and you feel you should be, please email me at bariatricfoodie@yahoo.com and I’ll help you investigate.
