As many of you know, I have been battling my weight for the last couple years, I mean decades.  I have laughed about it, joked about it, even bet on it.  Well, it’s time that I took this issue seriously and I am putting my money where my mouth is.  I am going to lose at least 100 pounds by December 24, 2012.  And since I am going to benefit from this public weight loss challenge, I thought that others should benefit as well.  This is where you come in!!

I am trying to raise money for GTSSS, Gospel For Tribals Social Service Society. GTSSS is engaged in many ministerial activities to include planting churches, operating Bible colleges, educating and housing orphans and handicapped children, providing a home for the aged and the poorest, providing medical care for lepers, conducting free medical clinics, drilling water wells, offering vocational training and performing other humanitarian services as the Lord opens doors.

You can personally help me by going to the pledge button and pledging a dollar amount for each pound I lose.  Even one dollar per pound would be greatly appreciated.  If I don’t lose 100 lbs. by December 24, 2012, I will donate the total amount pledged!!!  So join in and help me lose weight and help the children of the world get the nourishment they so desperately need.  All donations will go directly to the charity.

I also figured that sharing this journey with my friends and colleagues would be a great motivator to keep me on track.  You can follow me on Twitter – @LessJimmy.

I will update you weekly on our blog so you can follow my progress.  Please help me in giving back to the less fortunate children of the world.

Thank you in advance for your support and prayers.
