Hi, if you're new here, feel free to check out some of my older posts. I've lost 50 pounds in the last 9 months and won't stop til I've lost 100 pounds! Good luck with the giveaway!
I'm happy to announce a partnership with CSN Stores to bring you a $50 giveaway. That's right, $50 off your online order! If you order something $50 or less, it's free! You could get some Corelle dishes, though you may want to opt for something a little more fitness related. They've got a lot of cool fitness equipment.
So here's how it works. Do one of the things below, and I'll enter you in a drawing using random.org. I'll announce the winner after the contest is over and if you win, you can email me with your contact info. I just need your email address so I can get you the code for $50 off your order. The contest will end next Thursday, September 9th at midnight. I'll probably announce the winner the next day.
Here's what you need to do to enter (you can do just one thing or all five if you want):
1) Leave a comment. Say anything you want to say. Maybe a favorite post, or what's helped you to lose weight, etc. You can even just say hi! You can leave as many comments as you want, but I'll only count the first one toward the giveaway. - 1 entry
2) Leave a comment telling me what you would buy from CSN Stores with the $50 you win. Again, just one entry here will count. - 1 entry
3) Post a link to this giveaway on your blog. Leave a link for me in the comments section so I can see the entry. - 2 entries
4) Tweet this giveaway. You can just copy and paste from below. - 2 entries
@100_Pounds is giving away a $50 gift certificate to CSN Stores. Check it out here:http://bit.ly/aJ9EEu #100lbsgiveaway
5) Share the link for this post on Facebook. - 2 entries
That's it. All you need to do. I'll announce the winner next Friday.
Good luck!
at first i thought it said "CNN stores" and i was wondering what the heck i could get at a CNN store!
ReplyDelete...but it looks like the CSN store has some good stuff! i would probably buy myself some nice 400 thread count sheets! :)
ReplyDeleteYou could get yourself a Wolf Blitzer at the CNN Store. Do you need any wolves blitzed?
ReplyDeleteCool giveaway. I hope I win.
ReplyDeleteIf I win, I'll probably use the money toward some new shoes. They have Chacos.
ReplyDeleteI usually read your blog when Kiel is looking at it. Good job so far.
ReplyDeleteIf I win, I'm going to use the money to buy some kitchen stuff for chopping up vegetables more effectively.
GIT ME IN DAT DRAWING. I would also probably look at shoes and or sandals.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! Thanks for the chance.

I would love some new fitness dvds.

I would buy these awesome boots because I am trying to find a way to reward myself for my weight loss without eating (because we all know that celebrating equals eating...).

If I won, I would buy this litter box for my cats. I've hear so many good things about it, and I've just been dying to try it.

Nice giveaway!! I just tweeted...teehee.. ;)
ReplyDeleteSo Andy and I haven't had a toaster since early July because one night it was storming really bad and we lost electricity. Well, the surge that came after didn't break anything in the house, except our toaster....
ReplyDeleteSo we've been looking at space saving toaster ovens since then.... Apparently there's no rush.. (except that our bagels would really like to be eaten and it takes FOREVER to toast a bagel in the oven..)
So we'd probably buy one of those, if we found exactly what slow-poke decision-maker Andy wants.. :D
There are quite a number of items I would love from CSN . A wall clock to replace the 20 yr old one that just decided it doesn't want to work is one of the first things I need.
ReplyDeleteI need to lose 50 pounds. Everytime I start eating right, I get discouraged because it takes so long to even lose one pound--of course, it takes my husband one week to drop 8... How can I stay motivated with such slow progress?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, thanks for a chance to win!
I love CSN stores! I would definitely get this: http://www.csnstores.com/LS-20839BLK-LTR-LS-20839TAN-LTR-IT5168.html
ReplyDeleteGood luck in your weight loss!

Hey Andrew! Congrats on losing the weight! I am due with my first baby tomorrow and hope to get on the weight loss train afterwards!
ReplyDeletekristinereed@gmail.com
I love the CSN store! Because my baby is due soon and we don't have very many/really any toys, I would buy something developmentally appropriate for it. :)
ReplyDeletekristinereed@gmail.com
Great giveaway! Thanks so much for the opportunity to win!

It would be perfect for my indoor winter workouts!!!

I think my best tip is to eat what you want, in moderation. If you allow yourself a few bites, usualy that's enough to make you feel like you aren't depriving yourself. I loved fried chicken, but I can often ease cravings by putting just a little of it on a huge salad.
ReplyDeleteIf I were fortunate enough to win I think I'd actually pick out a few toys for my ltitle guys upcoming birthday.
ReplyDeleteHI!
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blog - I too have set out to lose 100 lbs in a year.
If I won - I would get some new bed sheets - mine are ready for the dumpster
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good give away to me!
ReplyDeleteI love CSN! They literally have everything you could possibly want, and a lot of it has free shipping!
ReplyDeletedemureprincess7(at)gmail(dot)com
Hey dude! Awesome job getting re-motivated in your weight loss journey! My motivation tends to wax and wane, too. But reading about you getting excited to trade your car in for a bike or pledging to be active every day for a month? That gets me excited. And then I think, "Shoot, if Andrew can do it, then I can, too!" Your enthusiasm is contagious, friend!
ReplyDeleteI have been eyeing the Paula Deen 11" Square Griddle in red.
ReplyDeletedemureprincess7(at)gmail(dot)com
My easiest way to lose a few pounds, no processed food. Only shopping for ingredients takes longer, but so worth it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool online store... I'm in the process of replacing some of my linens, so I'd probably go for bed sheets, if I won the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work:-)
ReplyDeleteI would love to be entered. :)

There's lots of birthdays this month in my family, so if I won I would buy toys. :)

I definitely want the Ashton Sutton Starburst Mirror - BM0323! It'd be great for over my bed!
ReplyDeleteI always struggle with my weight and finding the motivation to exercise!
ReplyDeleteI need to lose about 30 pounds. I became a pescatarian nearly 5 months ago. That alone should allow me to lose weight. Unfortunately I still eat too much junk food and sugar, so I've actually gained a pound or two! Dang it!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your final 50 or so!

I would like a convection oven, so I could avoid heating up my entire kitchen with a stove for small items!

Good for you for losing the first 50! I should lose probably 30 myself and it's hard to get myself motivated. :(

I just stumbled upon your giveaway and blog and wanted to say WAY TO BE and GOOD LUCK!!! In October I am starting a year-long Happiness Project of my own (after reading Gretchen Rubin's "The Happiness Project").
ReplyDeleteOh, and if I won $50 to a CSN store, I'd probably put it toward a new carseat for my baby. She's pretty much outgrown her infant car seat and she's only 6 months old! :) I've never purchased anything from a CSN store, but it looks awesome!

For weight loss, I always try to avoid keeping tempting foods in my house. And, if I go out to eat, I never eat the whole portion -- usually half of the meal is more than enough food. omydarlingblog(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI'd love to get some DwellStudio placemats from CSN.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway- just found your blog. What an inspiration you are to many. Keep it up.

ReplyDeleteHello! This is my first visit to your blog - but I plan to read all your previous entries. I have been struggling with weight for a while also and I'm ready for a change. I'm hoping your entries will help inspire me!

My middle daughter and I are trying the 21 day vegan kickstart as a way to manage our weight, if it goes well, it will become a permanent diet for us :-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on all your efforts, Andrew! I'm not too familiar with CSN Stores, but I bet I would find some great things.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on losing the 50 pounds, and good luck with the remaining 50!!!
ReplyDeleteIf I won the CSN gift certificate I would buy something to use during my yoga practice. Perhaps a new mat (http://www.csnstores.com/Yoga-Direct-10842-YGA1012.html) or a block (http://www.csnstores.com/Yoga-Direct-7812-YGA1007.html)... or both!

Hello! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat's helped me to lose some fat is just eating more fruits and veggies. Woo hoo!
If I got this, I will buy so many Pyrex things from CSN. Muahahaha!
