A Giveaway!

Well friends, in honor of my recent "20+ pounds removed" weight loss goal, I've decided to host a giveaway in its honor, and in yours as well. <br /><br />Now, normally I like to keep the giveaway value in line with the total weight lost - <a href="http://the-big-weight.blogspot.com/2011/09/starbucks-giftcard-giveaway.html">last time</a> it was a $10 giftcard for reaching the 10 pounds removed goal.  This time it should be $20 right?  Consistency can be fun.<br /><br />You might remember how I was complaining about feeling guilty for <a href="http://the-big-weight.blogspot.com/2011/12/weekend-recap-1-day-late.html">spending so much money</a> on myself?  Well, it's time to pay it forward!  What better time than <i>now </i>to spread the holiday cheer.<br /><br />But first - allow me to give credit where credit is due.<br /><br />Thank you all SO MUCH for your support throughout these last several months.  It's shocking to me that I even have regular readers.  I mean, seriously, look at how long (on the left) it took me to make some real progress around here!  It's amazing that you've even stuck around.  I'm supposed to be a weight <i>loss </i>blogger, not weight-maintaining-but-really-need-to-lose-it-blogger.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://thekrazycouponlady.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/target-Logo.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://thekrazycouponlady.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/target-Logo.png" /></a></div><br /><br /><i>Promise me</i> that if you win the <b>$40 Target Giftcard</b> that you will spend it on yourself!  You deserve it, I'm sure of it!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i>Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD your God which He has given you.</i></b> - <i><b>Deuteronomy 16:17</b></i></div><br />Here are the conditions for winning (U.S. & Canadian residents only please):<br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">1. Leave a comment here telling me what you're most excited about this Christmas season.  It can be a gift you hope you receive, something you're thankful for, the opportunity to travel to see family/friends, etc, etc. <i>This counts as 1 entry.</i><br /><br />2. Like The Big Weight Facebook page & comment on the page letting me know you've done so (handy dandy button on the right to do so).  <i>This counts as 1 entry.</i><br /><br />3. Post about this giveaway on your blog!  Then come back here and leave a comment with the link to your blog entry. <i>This counts as 1 entry.</i></blockquote><br />A winner will be randomly chosen on Saturday, December 17, 2011 at 9 AM - so please hurry :).<br /><br /><i>**While I did contact Target last week about sponsoring a giveaway, they have yet to get back to me.  So, this $40 giftcard has been purchased using my own money, and also because I feel like at this point it is more meaningful for me to provide the card myself than to receive it from Target.</i> <i>I still love you Tar-jay, I just can't wait around forever :).  </i>
