You've done it again--your hard work, healthy decisions, and commitment to the cause has made us 3 million pounds lighter!
Take a moment to soak this in... we're moving at a pace faster than any other weight-loss movement. We've dropped 3 million pounds in just 20 months, and our momentum is picking up as we head towards 2009!
Each of you are playing a role in America's most successful and compelling weight-loss story. Each pound you lose contributes to the story of The Challenge. Thank you for joining us.
Congratulations, and keep up the fight!
As part of our celebration, Dr. Ian and Craig Nash (one of our Challengers of the year) posted the following video on youtube. Please share this moment with your friends and family!

Thanks Dr. Ian for such a wonderful challenge. You saw the need and took the lead. I'm hoping to hear many more success stories from people who are making life changing choices. I just won a $500 prize for winning a weight loss challenge and have signed up again for the next challenge (a $10,000 pot). I began the challenge in October and completed it on January 7, 2009. I lost 24 pounds and 22.75 inches. I only lost 2 pounds each week and doubted that I would win, but I did! Thanks for the weekly menus. They are so easy to follow. God bless you and congratulations on this significant milestone...that's a lot of weight loss...go team 50 MPC!!! We rock!

I can't believe that I did not hear about this website until just recently! I just saw a commercial for the site and joined it right then and there. I knew about Dr. Ian from Celebrity Fit Club and have been taking notes on his comments to the participants on the show since the first season. I love the individualized stuff that keeps track of everything for me - the weight tracker, journal, etc. I know that this can be the positive thing that keeps me focused on my goal. I have been spreading the good news about 50millionpounds.com since I joined!!! Keep it up everyone!!! :)

I am a mom of two young children and i have battled with my weight for pretty much my whole life and i am choosing to make a change so my kids will not have to grow up in a home that passes on bad habits. I found out about the 50-million pound challenge while watching the Bonnie Hunt show. The problem that i have come across while wanting desperatly to join the challenege is that i live in Toronto, Canada and the site is for US residents. If i can be helped to still participate in the challenge even though i am in Canada it would be GREAT because i want to see the thinner and healthier me! Someone that my children can grow up watching be healthy and carry those same lessons into thier adult life!
Thanks again,
hoping to hear from someone soon,
Ainsley from Toronto, Canada

I am so happy to see the progress that we have made.........3 million pounds, I am even more happy that I was apart of it. I am truly looking forward to 4 million, 5 million, 6 million milestones until we reach that 50 million pound goal. I wish everyone continued succes,but most importantly Know that you can do all things through Christ who gives you strength.
Congratulation Everyone!!!!
