Because I've always struggled with weight issues, I called my accountability buddy for well-being, and co-created a project to help inspire people to lose weight for a greater cause. I wanted to be inspired by my weight loss and wanted it to somehow contribute to others at the same time... this happened last year in September and nothing ever became of that project because it was too complicated and it was kind of all over the place. It was a great idea... it just incomplete.

So just a few weeks ago, I was reminded of why I started that project in the first place and put in what was missing for me. Clarity and completeness. I couldn't see the mission fulfilled before and now it all makes perfect sense. My extra weight, will feed the people that actually need to eat. And since I don't have enough weight myself, I thought "Why not include the rest of the world on this?" People often say not to waste any food because there are starving children in Africa... so why not have that food actually go to feeding the starving children in "Africa"?

Our Mission is

1. To inspire people to lose weight for something bigger than themselves.
2. To cause global health and well-being.
3. To promote creative thinking and healthy eating habits.
4. To end Obesity and World Hunger.
5. To create community and inspire the world to work together to fulfill on a common mission.

I know that there are many people that are concerned about a loved one's health. I know that the motivation is not always there, and I know what it's like to have a health concern and it's not always enough to do it for myself. I want it to become cheaper and more convenient to eat healthy than it is to eat junk food. I want the health related industries to profit greatly and for unhealthy industries to have to get creative about keeping up with demand for great health. Hey, who knows... if all goes well, we may not need a health plan after all right? OK... I don't know if I can do anything about broken arms and hips though... *sigh*... next project maybe... "Replace the walls and floors with pillows!!" OK, it still needs some thinking through... let's get back to business!

How do I get involved, you ask?? The first thing you'd want to do as a participant, is create an account on http://myrollsforyourdough.ning.com and let us know a little about yourself. Are you playing to lose weight for charity? If so, how much weight do you want to lose? Or are you going to sponsor someone and donate a "dollar per pound" to their weight loss?

What we need?

1. Health facilities for weigh in to keep things legitimate. Gyms, Doctors' offices, Weight Loss Centers, People's homes... get the picture?
2. Ideas, questions, suggestions e-mail to me@aidathegreat.com.
3. Sponsors. Along with encouraging you to find your own sponsors, we need help finding corporate sponsors to make a bigger impact and contribute to those that don't have someone to sponsor them.
4. Leaders, Trainers, Coaches, Cheerleaders, Teachers, Partners, Motivators, Fluffers, Instructors, Mentors... we need a support system if you catch my drift!
5. Volunteers to help get things done! I'd love to take all the credit, but I lied about that previous statement. I don't want ANY credit!! It's not my project!! It's YOURS!! I just had an idea. Only you can bring it to life! Help me, help you!!
6. Tips, tricks, plans, routines, diets, cleanses, opinions for healthy ways to lose weight... we want to hear it all!
7. Incentives! If you are a trainer, have a facility, diet, or any of the things mentioned above, we want you to partner with us and create ways, not only to draw more people to your business, but to make it easier for people to lose the weight they want for this great cause. We want you to expand so that we can shrink... um, so that others can fatten up a little more ;)

If you are, or have connections to corporations, foundations, and even beneficiaries (we have one so far www.friendsofwfp.org), please let us know. Please help us spread the word and help us fulfill on this amazing mission! We launch officially on OCTOBER 5TH!!! Thank you!!!
