Celebration day is here!
Dr. Ian and music icon, Patti LaBelle will be on the Today Show this morning at 10:30 Eastern time. Set your DVRs, or watch live if you can. The interview will be a great to launch our celebration!
After the interview, we'll have our party at the Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. Building on 125th & 7th Ave in Harlem. Dr. Ian and The Challenge team will be joined by Patti LaBelle, NFL Hall of Fame NY Giant Harry Carson and an active Challenge participant from NYC, whose story we'll share with you soon!
This whole group will also light a candle to commemorate your hard work, congratulate this community in surpassing a great milestone, and to show our commitment to work for future success. We invite you to join us, wherever you are and however you can! And send us a picture of your party and/or your candle.
As a reminder, here is your celebration checklist:
- Host a party at your home, dorm room, church, etc.
- Invite your friends, family and Challenge teammates to join you in celebrating our remarkable accomplishment.
- Light a candle, at any time that day, to celebrate and renew our commitment to the greater goal of becoming a healthier community.
- Visit 50millionpounds.com for detailed information about our party.
- Let us know how your party went! Send in the story and a picture of your party with the candle.
This is going to be a great day for The Challenge! Congratulations, and keep up the fight!

I saw the today show and thought this might be a great way to motivate my husband as well as my self to loose weight. He is diabetic I am not, however we are both need to work on becoming healthy. Hope I can get the pedometer.

On the Today Show, the good Doctor mentioned that if you signed up you would receive a free pedometer(sp?). I haven't seen anything about this on the site? Anyone else know about this?

Hello!
My name is Katherine (Kitty) and I too am a diabetic. I have been going to Weight Watches and as long asI stay on the program I do great, but once I go of track, I am back to my old eating habits. Hopefully, with the support of others I'll beable to maintain my goals. I would like to lose 20 lbs, but in reality should lose 50lb. But I'll take on pound at a time an hope for the best.

Hi all. I found this challenge on BlackPlanet.com and thought I would give it a try. I am also diabetic and just today will start my first doses of insulin. If I lose weight and am strict with diet and exercise in the future I can go back to pills instead. Maybe with the support of others in a similar situation, I can lose a tough 40 lbs. Be blessed.

I just started working out with my 19 year old son; he also wants to lose weight. My wife watched the Today Show and she made me sign up for the challenge. I have high blood pressure and I have been diagnosed with diabetes. Can you please send the gift you mentioned on the show? Thank you.

I would like to join this free weight-loss program on an individual basis.
