Week 3 pleding is CLOSED. I've placed a note in the comments below to note the last eligible pledge for the prize drawing. Thanks!
Happy Sunday! Later on today I'll be drawing the names of the three Foodies who will win $50 from Building Blocks Vitamins, so please check back this evening for that!
Now...on to week three!
The Week Three prize
This week's prize is sponsored by Click Espresso Protein. Many of you may have heard of Click but it's NOTHING like experiencing the real thing! This delicious protein drink comes in both mocha and vanilla, can be made hot or cold and trust me...it will revolutionize how you think protein should taste! For new-newbies, if you win this one, you might want to hang onto your prize until you are cleared for caffeine consumption, but either way here's what THREE LUCKY FOODIES will win:
- A canister of Click Mocha
- A canister of Click Vanilla Latte
How to Pledge
In case you don't remember how to pledge (or if you are joining us for the first time this week - welcome!) there are three ways to submit your pledge. Whichever way you choose, your pledge MUST be in by 12 p.m. (EST) tomorrow (Monday, February 13)!!! No exceptions!
- Leave your pledge as a comment on this blog post. NOTE: Please leave at least your first name and last initial in the blog comment with your pledge so you can identify yourself on the pledge list AND so I can identify you if you win the contest! (Also if you used a different name last week you might want to let me know what that was if you want to get credit for the grand prize drawing).
- 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. If you don't see a reshare link on your post, you can simply share your pledge as your status. PLEASE remember to include the link to the blog!!!
- NOTE: Do NOT post your pledge as a response to the Facebook blog post announcement as I can't keep track of those. Post it as it's own post on the Bariatric Foodie Wall, then reshare it. Thanks!
After You Pledge
When the list comes out, check to make sure I have you down. If not, you have until noon on Tuesday to petition yourself onto the list before it closes for the week. (Note: I did end up missing a few people last week for various reasons. It is NOT a conspiracy or anything personal. I am one human running this contest and unfortunately sometimes I miss stuff so please stay on top of me if you feel like I've missed you!)
Again, THANK YOU to Click Espresso Protein for sponsoring this week's pledge. Check out their page by clicking the ad in the right menu bar. Since the prize is in the form of a gift certificate, it might be good to browse the site to see what you might like to order. And please, please, please show some love by liking the Click Facebook Page!

This week, I pledge to power walk at least 5 times.
My Week 3 Pledge is to maintain my week 2 challenge and workout 5 days this week. I was told it takes 2 weeks to create a habit :)
This 3rd week, I am taking the Bariatric Foodie Pledge to drink more water then my 64 oz and to be more conscience about what I put into my mouth.
This week I am going to take the Bariatric foodie pledge to eat more healthy snacks again.... Due to being sick last week I kinda blew it by eating what sounded good not what was actually good for me.... I am still under the weather but will try harder this week to fight the urge to eat non healthy options!
Brandy Walters
My 3rd week pledge is a repeat of my 2nd - to walk at least 3 days this week.
This week, I am taking the Bariatric Foodie Pledge to combine my week 1&2 pledges. Track all my food and drink 64oz of liquids everyday into my tracker.
Lori S ( aka: nrslori1 - used in week 1)
I'm taking the BF pledge and this week I pledge to slow down, chew well, and savor my food. I've always been a food inhaler and I've noticed that I've gone back to eating super fast.
Wish me luck!
This week I pledge to drink at least 64 ounces of water a day. I have been having some issues this past week and know it is important!

PS: I heart Click protein powder!
Annie G-C
My week 3 pledge is to get back to the basics and count my protein to make sure I am eating correctly, along with keep up with the gym.
We can do this!!!
Sean Lloyd
This week I pledge to chew my food! I have noticed that I am back to taking huge bites that I swallow with just a few chews. This is going to be a tough one since it will take a lot of mindfulness.
Denise Ward
This week, I take the Bariatric Foodie pledge to log my meals daily and work out at least five times. I know I can do this. The exercise will be interesting since I have a pull within the abductor set of muscles that control lateral movement. I feel very limited right now. Guess I will be walking a lot.
Jennifer Pruitt
This week I pledge to get more water in each day.
Nell R
My 3rd week pledge is to dring a min. of 64oz of fluids a day to avoid another IV infusion I had two days ago.

My pledge is to really think about whether I am hungry before I eat. I'm starting a new job this week in a field I've never worked in before, and I know there is going to be some stress. I don't want to do any stress eating.
Amy Carlo
This week I pledge to continue to limit snacking AND to journal all of my intake, liquid and food. I think it will help me limit snacking and get a better sense of how many calories I am REALLY taking in.

For the third week of the Bariatric Foodie Pledge I pledge to increase the amount of exercise. I have been very slack with exercise since surgery but in order to get the last 15 pounds off me I need to get serious about making exercise a natural part of my life. So I pledge to use my elliptical at least 3 times this week and get back on my exercise ball.
Shelagh M.
This week, like several others on here, I'm pledging to exercise more. I've been exercising 3x a week, but I know I need to increase that.
This week I pledge to try at least 2 new recipes and get that protein in. I also want to pledge to do at least one nice thing for me, I deserve that.
Melanie K
My pledge this week seems weird considering the prize, but I had decided it on before you posted! :)
I am going to cut all caffeine out and limit my artificial sweetners in anticipation of breastfeeding in a month... I need to get a jump and go cold turkey NOW...

Lisa Maria S.
My week three pledge is to continue the 6:10am workout, continue trying to get in all that water and to make sure and do something good for me everyday!!!

This week my Bariatric Foodie pledge is to not use the weather (snow) as an excuse to not exercise. My pledge is to get to the gym to pound out the mileage at least 4 days this week. :)
My week 3 pledge is a repeat of my week 2 pledge. Limit my snacking. Even though I choose healthful snacks, I choose too many under the illusion that they are 'good for me.' Also, I'm adding getting in my walks on a more regular basis.
Mary Lou R.
This week my bariatric pledge is to workout using my exercise tape at least 4 times.
I pledge to get all of the water intake for the day, EVERYDAY! I will do this by keeping a stash of water near me so I do not run out!

This week, I pledge to continue going to the gym three days per week (week 1), take my vitamins (week 2), and attempt to drink more water. I am currently only getting about 40 oz. I am going to simply increase 16 oz per day to 56 oz per day. CHALLENGING!!

This week I pledge to measure each of my meals and any snacking so that I know EXACTLY how much protein I am getting daily..and meet my protein goals!
My week 3 pledge is to drink at least 64oz. of water every day. I am going to do it this week! I plan to drink a glass of water when I take my vitamins, each time. Hopefully that will get me to 64oz. each day. I'm not going to keep saying "later"...
~Kris Hamilton
This week, I'm pledging to walk 1.5 miles on the treadmill at least 4 days this week. Exercise is something I've really gotta work on!
This week I pledge to cut out any mindless unnecessary eating aka grazing. I will structure my eating into 3 planned meals and 3 planned snacks a day.

This week, I pledge to drink 64 oz water daily.
Kelly Douglas
My week 3 challenge is to continue taking my vitamins twice per day (which I completed my goal for week two), drink 64 ounces of fluids (tea, water and coffee - excluding any protein fluids) and walk the steps at work (all 100 of them) a minimum of 3 times this week.
Barb Hook
This week I pledge to track my food everyday, in hopes this will cut down on the snacking.
