ISF Phase 2 crosses the 2000 mile mark at the halfway point!
Los Angeles, CA 19, April, 2010 -- On April 15, 2010, at the halfway point of PHASE Two of ISF, the group had already run over 2000 miles! 2033 to be exact and not every member had reported their total miles yet! This takes the ISF from Los Angeles to about Indianapolis...and they have been snaking along not going very direct to VA.
Rob Clyde, ISF founder, estimates that the group will cross 3k and reach Washington DC much earlier than expected. "I think we may want to head south after DC and go to FL or something. Then we'll head back west! We are going to blow our estimates and goals out of the water!"
Incredible Shrinking Family PHASE 2 "Run for Your Life" kicks off this Wednesday, February 17th, 2010.
Los Angeles, CA 15, February, 2010 -- The SMALL group that calls themselves the Incredible Shrinking Family is ready to take on a new game. They call it PHASE 2: Run for Your LIfe!
Basically, participants will take on a section of the country, city to city, and run the miles they take on from now to June 1. More to come after the group solidifies the Phase 2 on their first conference call this Wednesday, Feb 17. All are invited to join on the call
Incredible Shrinking Family Raises over $5000 for charity with over 325 lbs lost in just 3 months!
Los Angeles, CA 25, November, 2009 -- In just 3 months, the 15 weight loss participants of the Incredible Shrinking Family have lost over 235 pounds collectively. And in the process they also raised over $5000 in pledges to our selected charities that can be found on the charities page of IncredibleShrinkingFamily.org site.
Founder Rob Clyde said, "what a huge success!" Clyde who started the ISF with his own family and friends in July of 2009 has personally lost 40 pounds during the first phase of ISF. "I finally found a way to lose weight, get my family to do it with me!" This fun project had many other side effects of success including bringing a family much closer together than ever before with constant communication and playing this game together. Certain participants also raised pledges per pound lost and raised over $5000 dollars. Bob Clyde was the heavy hitter with the pledges thanks to his friends and family looking to support World Hope International (one of the charities of ISF).
ISF breaks the $1000 mark in pledges
Participants of the Incredible Shrinking Family have reported in and after only a few short weeks, they have over $103 per pound pledged and are expecting to get even more!
Los Angeles, CA 24, September, 2008 -- Bob Clyde alone has raked in the sponsorships with a calculated $71 per pound in sponsorships. "Now the real pressure is on to lose the weight I pledged to lose!", said Clyde from his office in Tokyo, Japan; "I've actually found it easier to tell people about my weight loss when i can tell them it's for a good cause rather than just for me. And to my surprise, people offer to donate right away."
Come See the Incredible Shrinking Family!
An American family starts a “weight loss for a cause” project that is virally inspiring a generation, raising funds for charities and connecting families and their friends through healthy living.
Los
Angeles, CA (PRWEB) 23, September, 2008 -- It's
official! The Incredible Shrinking Family has been launched and can be seen at
www.IncredibleShrinkingFamily.org. With over 30 participants and growing, this
grass-roots "weight loss for a cause" project was created by Robert
Clyde of Los Angeles, CA and his family to inspire a generation of healthy
living.
The project is simple. Participants weigh themselves. Decide how
many pounds they can lose by November 25th (day before Thanksgiving). And then
they go get sponsors to donate money for every pound they lose. Proceeds will
then go directly to one of the charities highlighted on the ISF site including
Mattel Children’s Hospital, The American Heart Association, United Way, World
Hope International, Operation Blessing and others.
This is not a weight loss competition. This is a family creating
health. Sustainable, long-term health. The project started on August 24, 2009
and will be completed on November 25, 2009, just in time to eat well as a
family on Thanksgiving! In just a few short weeks the Family has already lost
over 200 pounds and raised over $1000.
Project Creator, Rob Clyde of Los Angeles, CA said, "It
is our goal to get healthy as a family and inspire others to do the same. And
if we can help out some worthy charities along the way, well that can only be a
big bonus!"
The project website also features Healthy Recipes and Tips
provided by the participants as well as a Healthy Living Blog on Nutrition by
nutritionist, Andie Jones of Los Angeles, CA. Andie answers participant
question directly through email as well as in her blog. Other great features of
the site are weekly weight loss updates, sponsorship updates, participant
profiles and a blog so that members can chat back and forth about their
struggles and successes.
There is also a weekly conference call for the participants of the
Incredible Shrinking Family every week for motivations, updates and creating
new ideas for the project each week.
Clyde later stated, “The benefits of ISF have been tremendous. Not
only are we getting healthy as a family, but we are communicating on a new
level that is helping us all grow closer together even though we are living all
over the world!”
