You can celebrate the end of the kick-off tour with us at the historic State Farm Bayou Classic Thanksgiving weekend in New Orleans!
We’re serious about getting healthy, hitting the one million pound milestone and growing our community. So serious, in fact, that we’re presenting 2 opportunities to win tickets from Southwest Airlines® to fly you and a friend to the Bayou Classic in New Orleans!
You can win a package for two people that includes: airfare, hotel, tickets to the game, tickets to the battle of the bands competition, spending money, and much more! This is how we’ll pass the million pound mark and keep marching our way to the big goal of 50 million pounds.
Here’s what you need to do between September 13, 2007 and October 31, 2007 to have a chance to win one of our travel packages:
1. Update your profile regularly – every time you update your progress by entering your weight into your Personal Weight Tracker on the site, you will receive ONE entry into the sweepstakes (limit one per day). Check in every day of the sweepstakes' duration and you can have up to 49 entries!! Not only does that increase your chances to win, but your Challenge commitment will be top of mind and you'll be making the Challenge a good habit!
Another way to win the trip package:
2. Invite all of your family, friends, and co-workers to join The Challenge – every person who joins from your referral (through the ’Tell a Friend’ feature), grants you ONE entry into the sweepstakes. There's no limit to how many friends you can get signed up or how many entries you can have in the sweepstakes. Remember, the more people you get to sign up through the link, the greater your chance of winning one of the 2 trip packages. Get out your address book and spread the word. It could by your ticket to the Bayou. And it doesn’t cost you or your friends anything to join. Remember, it’s all FREE!!
You've put us where we are—more than 220,000 participants who’ve lost over 732,000 pounds in just 5 months! You can keep our momentum going and building. Tell everyone you know to join us, and remember to keep your profile up to date.
We hope you're the one who will be strutting your stuff at our final kick-off tour stop— the Bayou Classic!

I have been struggling with my weight every since I have had my daughter back in November of 2005. I had manage to go from 242lbs down to 207lbs from April 07 to July 07. Then I got sick and had to be put on prednisone. I have finshed taking the medication but now I have balloned back up to 218lbs. I started to give up but I just remembered that starting at 218lbs is a whole lot better than being back up to 242lbs. To others just keep the faith and we shall get through this together so that we can all be healthy and live longer so that we can be there for our families. Another question that I have for anyone who may know the answer does prednisone make you gain weight and if so how long does it stay in your system. I have tried everything and the weight is barely coming back off.

I'm joning the Air force in January and I have to loose this 40 extra pounds and keep it off. So if there is anyone who has comments or heathly recipes please email me.Thank you for letting me share my thoughts.

I have been trying to take off the weight for a while now. I am so happy we can lose the weight together as a community. I have lost weight and I will continue. I am very happy about this program. It allows me to track my success and I will succeed only by the good grace of God and people like you. Thank you for this opportunity. I am finally on the right track. Thank you so very much.
