The 50 Million Pound Blog

November 15, 2007 goes down as an historic day for The Challenge. 

A special 'thank you' to Patti LaBelle, Harry Carson, Hugh Fletcher and to those of you who withstood cold rain and wind as we celebrated our 1,000,000 pound milestone in Harlem this morning.

We'll post some video footage of the day on the site very soon, so everyone has a chance to experience the excitement.   

Because of your hard work and desire for healthier lives, The Challenge is boldly marching toward its next million, and right on until we reach 50. Every pound lost strengthens us, and proves that we can win the battle to take control of our lives.

Congratulations to many of you who have reached your goals. Please work with us to encourage more people to commit to making healthier decisions... we are making an incredible impact together.
