Week 9 Weigh-in from Jason Salamun on Vimeo.

Thank you again for your support folks!  Keep spreading the word.

Do you want more love and less love-handles?

Why don’t you consider losing weight with me for these great causes?

If you’re interested, here’s how to do it:

1) Leave a comment and me know you want to take the challenge.

2) Call, Text, Email, Facebook, Twitter, your friends and family and let them know what you’re up to.

3) Ask if they’ll give $1 for every pound you lose to one of six life-giving causes and refer them here.

4) Tell them to let us know they’re in by clicking here. This helps us measure the impact.

5) Weigh in is every Monday and you can post your results right here at THISMUSTCHANGE.org

6) We’ll do this until November 16.

What do you have to lose except some extra poundage?  Not to mention the impact you can make in the lives of people around the world.  Let’s stand up for the ones who can’t stand at all.

Are you with me?

A valid question.

First, let me say this:  I’m going for healthy.

This isn’t a game to see how much weight I can lose in 3 months by any means necessary.

I’m not doing a crash diet, fad diet, or starving myself.

I’m simply adjusting my unhealthy eating habits and getting on a better eating plan.

I’m replacing junk food with lean protein, whole grains, veggies, fruit, low-fat dairy, etc.

Like normal people.

Plus, I will get a reward meal once a week.

Food isn’t the bad guy.

It’s been me and some bad habits that are the culprit.

I also stopped working out several years ago.

And I sit behind a desk all day.

That hasn’t helped matters.

So I’m training to run a 5k on Thanksgiving Day called The Turkey Trot.

I’m using the Couch to 5k plan to prepare.

I’m also hitting the weights and doing the 100 pushup challenge.

Maybe I’ll try Richard Simmons Sweatin’ to the Oldies while I’m at it.

On second thought…

Bottom line: I’m eating more nutritiously and working out.

I’m a simple guy and am using a simple plan.

In 3 months, I’m not sure how much I’ll weigh.

But I do know this: I’ll be healthier.

That’s my challenge.

The challenge for you is to stand up and give a buck a pound in the next 3 months for these six life-giving causes.

That’s it.

Are you in?

It may not be much but together, it can be.

Thanks for stepping up and please spread the word.

Now if you’ll excuse, I’m going to go for a run around the block and then squeeze out a push-up.

Grace and Peace,

Jason

Let’s say I lose 40 pounds.

100 people x 40 lbs = $4,000

500 people x 40 lbs = $20,000

1,000 people x 40 lbs = $40,000

2500 x 40 lbs = $100,000

And so on.

That’s less hungry people.

More clean water and less disease.

Shelter and care for battered women.

More feet without blisters, sores, and infections.

More doctors without borders.

Less children sold into the sex slave industry.

These are serious issues and we seriously need to help.
