There doesn’t seem to be a clear consensus on how the $500 should be distributed but it does seem like most are in favor of everyone receiving a small prize and having one or two big prizes also. There have also been a few people suggesting I give the money to charity. I don’t want anyone to feel pressured into giving their share to charity though. If you want to give your share to charity, contact me and let me know, otherwise your share will go in the prize pool.
I’m going to start by giving everyone either $10 cash via PayPal or a $10 Amazon gift card, whichever you prefer. Luckily, I have built up a bit of credit on Amazon by redeeming gift cards from SwagBucks. It will probably be a week or two before I can contact everyone. If you want to leave a comment with your preference on this post I will give you priority. Please use your same name and email so I can verify your identity.
If you do opt for an Amazon gift card I would appreciate it if you would do your shopping through the Amazon link in the sidebar to the right of this post. That way I will make a little bit of the money back. 
****This giveaway is only for those who entered the $500 weight loss challenge back in May. If you aren’t one of the entrants please don’t comment on this post. Thanks.

I’m just wondering if this will help you lose weight. I would rather see you find a way to succeed. I always try to find a lesson out of things(I know I sound like your mom), did this help in anyway?
I’d like a $10 Amazon gift card, please — thanks so much!
And I really appreciate your standing behind your word regarding the challenge. Thank you.
I’d also prefer the $10 Amazon gift card, thank you!
I also look forward to hearing about your weight loss success in 2010! Do you have a plan to make that happen? Good luck!
$10 Amazon gift card, thank you!
Sorry that this did not work.
Ok. I have emailed gift cards to those who have replied on this post. Let me know if you don’t receive the gift card today.
Got my card today…just in time to use it for Christmas. Thank you so much, Andy. I think I need to put weight loss on my 2010 list, too…if it’s any comfort. Merry Christmas, and best wishes for the coming year.
Thank you, I just got it. I feel really bad for benefiting from your……..dieting mishap.
$10 amazon gift card works best for me.
I like you failed to meet my weight loss goals. 2010 will have to bring a new focus.
$10 Amazon gift card, thank you!
