Watching my husband lose 85 pounds 2 years ago was one of the most amazing things I’ve witnessed. He wanted to lead by example for our sons in living a healthy lifestyle, so he committed to taking the weight off. It was incredible.

After he shared his story on his own blog (FormerlyFatMatt) and sharing it on MomGenerations.com, we heard from hundreds of men and women sharing their own stories and struggles and challenges and success stories. It very inspiring. It was also wonderful to hear what different ways people went about losing the weight. In hearing all the stories, Weight Watchers was a big success for people… a huge success!

Well, Weight Watchers is doing a pretty amazing thing right now, they are helping to raise money for hunger with Weight Watchers Lose for Good and Lose-A-Palooza program.

Weight Watchers’ third annual Lose for Good campaign, a program that partners members, online subscribers and charitable organizations to help fight world hunger. Between September 5th and October 23rd as members lose weight, Weight Watchers will donate up to $1 million to two leading hunger fighting organizations – Share Our Strength and Action Against Hunger.

On September 14, 2010, you can… Lose-A-Palooza is a one-day social media event created to encourage participation in the Lose For Good® campaign . For every mention of “Lose For Good” made on September 14th through blogs, Twitter, Facebook, check-in via foursquare, or a “Lose-A-Palooza” Twibbon to your profile picture, Weight Watchers will donate $1 to Share Our Strength and Action Against Hunger (yep it’s that easy!). Use the hashtag: #LoseForGood to help spread the word and raise funds. Let people know how they can join you in the fight against hunger!!

This is an amazing thing that Weight Watchers is doing… please join in on helping!
