***Pledging for week one closed on January 30 at 12:00 pm EST. If your pledge was made by then, you're in! If not, work on your goal along with the rest of us and I look forward to getting your week two pledge!The day has arrived!
Today begins the 2012 Bariatric Foodie Pledge!
Have you been thinking about your pledges? Good!
As a reminder, this week’s prize sponsor is Davinci Gourmet, maker of wonderful sugar-free syrups that I use in a variety of protein shakes! Check out the ad on the right menu bar to see their full assortment of sugar-free flavors or visit their Facebook Page.
This week, our three winners will receive three (3) full-sized bottles of sugar-free Davinci syrup!
Exciting, right? Ok, let’s get to business. You may pledge your weekly goal in one of three ways:
- Leave your pledge as a comment on this blog post. NOTE: This blog's comments are moderated so if you don't see your pledge right away, don't worry!!! I have to approve the comment for it to show up. I can see when you posted your comment and all comments made by the deadline count!
- You may also pledge on Twitter by tweeting the following. “This week I’m taking the @BariatricFoodie Pledge to [insert goal]. http://bit.ly/Apolxn"
- You may pledge on Facebook by following these steps:
- Go to the Bariatric Foodie Wall and post “This week, I am taking the Bariatric Foodie Pledge to [insert your goal]. To learn how YOU can win prizes for setting goals, visit http://www.bariatricfoodie.com/.” Make sure you get all of that statement on there.
- After you’ve posted that to the BF wall, hit the RESHARE link to share it to your wall, don't simply paste it to your wall as I can't see that you did it. (and yes, you do have to do both. Don’t want to share it on your wall? Then go with option #1.)
- NOTE: Do NOT post your pledge as a response to the blog post announcement as I can't keep track of those. Post it as it's own post on the Bariatric Foodie Wall, then re-share it. Thanks!
If you don’t see your name (whatever name you gave on FB, here on the blog or Twitter) on that list, you have until noon on Tuesday to petition yourself onto the list! You’ll need to provide a link to where you pledged so I can see that you did it. Please note: the list will simply contain your name (first name, last initial if you provided your full name) and the method you used to pledge, NOT your goal. That’s your business!
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask – but do so early! The noon on Monday deadline stands!
Good luck everyone and let 2012 The Bariatric Foodie Pledge begin!

I also pledge to increase my water intake by at least 8 oz each day. Thanks Nik for this great blog and all you do for our community!! - Diane Graves

Good luck everyone! Sounds like some awesome goals :)

This week I am taking the BF pledge to increase my water intake. At 7 months out I have been having some health issues and have been focused more on protein intake than water. I know water is just as important, so i will track my water intake in hopes to find ways to help me gradually increase my daily intake. Thanks Nik for this great opportunity to make us all accountable to each other! Good luck to everyone!
~Christa~
My pledge this week is getting enough fluids in. I have been dealing with a lot of personal issues the last few weeks, and have slacked off on drinking my water/fluids. I wound up dehydrated this week, and now, I am going to focus on fluids again - I am only 4 months out, but its easy to "forget" these things as we go along in life.
My first pledge is to increase my water intake!!
I posted early this morning and I don't see my pledge. I am repeating mine here: I pledge to drink at least 64 oz. of liquids everyday this week.

Jackie Prince
Hey JAX. You almost made the deadline but not quite! I look forward to getting a pledge from you next week!
Hi Nik. I posted here , on the blog page, about my pledge but I don't see it now. I was somewhere in the 60's. I realize that it's too late for this week, but can you tell from your end what I did wrong wrong? I don't want to make the same mistake again. My pledge read something like this ... "I am taking the Bariatric Foodie Pledge and pledge to go back to having at least one shake every day. Why I quit this habit is beyond me but it really helps me keep on track" something along those lines. I will still keep the pledge for this week even though I guess that I'm not in the challenge. Thanks for any help you can give me about what went wrong.
Mary Lou
Mary Lou,
Sorry your pledge didn't get in! I'm not sure you did anything wrong per se. A few folks had trouble leaving comments with particular browsers. That's the only thing I can think of. Next week I'm going to remove the moderation for the comments so you can see it went through or can email me if it does not!
Please do pledge next week!
This week I pledge to continue to eat when hungry and to assess my mood when I want to eat when NOT hungry. I worked on this issue this past week and it helped a lot. ~~Jennifer P
