The 2015 Bariatric Foodie Pledge - What You Need to Know to Participate!


Looking for the device test? Scroll to the bottom!

The Bariatric Foodie Pledge begins February 1st. Are you excited? I am! 

Here's a run-down of what the Bariatric Foodie Pledge is and how to participate. Please read this post in its entirety so that you have the best chance of participating fully and winning great prizes!

If you have any questions, please feel free to leave them in the comments or email me at bariatricfoodie@yahoo.com. I'm happy to answer them!

The Pledge: What is It?

The Bariatric Foodie Pledge is an annual four-week contest  that helps you make and keep healthy goals.

Here’s how it works:
  • Each week in February, you'll “pledge” a goal (see the schedule below for exact dates). It can be any goal you want. 
  • At the end of the week, you'll “check in” about how your goal went. To do that you’ll have to answer a few short questions.
  • If you do both you'll be entered to win a weekly prize! (More info on the prizes to come.)
But wait…there’s more! If you participate all four weeks, you’ll be eligible to win a special grand prize, which is winner takes all – that means you’ll win every prize from the preceding four weeks!

Sweet, right?

How Do I Pledge/Check-In?

At the beginning of each week in February you'll pledge a goal. At the end of the week you'll check in. There are strictly enforced time limits on pledges/check-ins in so take note of the following schedule:

If you'd like reminders about pledging and checking in you can sign up for email reminders.

You'll submit both your pledges and your check-ins through Google Form. Here's where there's a little pre-work to do. 

Below this text is a form to test your device to make sure it interacts well with Google Forms. After pressing submit, you may go here to check to make sure your entry went through (start from the bottom of the list). If it did, you are good to go!




So What Do I Need to Do Right Now?

Test out the form! Like I said, find a device where the form works and take note of that device so that you can submit your pledges and check-ins on time. Also, if you'd like a reminders about pledging and checking in, you can sign up for email reminders
