The Challenge is Growing!
JET/Ebony Magazines

Dear Challenger,

I wanted to personally share another accomplishment that we have all hit together!  This week go to your local newsstand and pick up the new issues of JET and Ebony magazines.  Both magazines feature great stories about The Challenge. 

In JET, Patti LaBelle—a true Challenge champion—and I talk about The Challenge and what it takes to make healthier choices. 

In Ebony, there are 5 families/individuals who are part of The Challenge and who we’ll be following in the magazine and online for the next 6 months.  We are going to share their stories with you through updates and their blogs and future articles. 

This is a great way for us to showcase the hard work and dedication that all of us are putting forth to successfully lose weight and become healthier. 

Tell all of your family and friends to pick up a copy of both magazines.  By doing this we will show the decision makers that health and wellness are important to African Americans.  This is critical. 

The more we demonstrate the importance of the issue, the more others will listen and help champion our cause. 

I’m so proud of all of you.  Remember to get family members, friends, and co-workers to sign up at 50millionpounds.com. 

And if you haven’t been back in a while to update your weight loss, please click here to sign in and do so as we can only count the weight loss that has been logged in. 

We are almost at 2.2 million pounds and we’re going strong.  Also, keep sending us your stories so that we can feature you on the homepage or maybe in a future issue of JET. 

We can do it!  CHALLENGE YOURSELF NOW!

Yours in The Challenge,
Dr. Ian-
