WIN Some Great Prizes!!

It’s our anniversary!!

I’ve got great news! You might’ve heard me mention celebrating our one-year anniversary on the Steve Harvey Morning Show or other radio programs. Well now I’m happy to report that my team and I have worked out the details, and I want to share the news with you first! 

In staying true to our celebration style, there are some incredible prizes that you are eligible for just by updating your account with your new weight

Each time you update your weight on the site, your name will be entered in a drawing for one of the following 3 prizes:  

  • An iPhone
  • A $500 VISA® Gift Card
  • A $1,000 VISA® Gift Card

So each time you update your profile you increase your chances of winning one of these great prizes.

We will draw the winners’ names on our anniversary day – April 7. So, increase your chances to win by updating your account everyday! 

I get so excited when I run into many of you whether I’m in your town, same hotel, or the airport. Few things compare to how proud I am to hear you say that you are signed up for The Challenge, have lost weight, and are feeling better than you ever imagined. There’s just one problem—when I ask if you’ve updated your account with your new weight, many of you say that you’ve forgotten or haven’t had the time.  Well, unless you update your weight, your hard work won’t count toward our big goal of 50 million pounds.  The computer can only count those lost pounds that you actualIy record in your account.  So I’m asking you to please come back to the site and login to update your account with your new weight!  

You can become part of America’s most successful and influential weight-loss story. Please share your accomplishments with the nation by donating the weight you’ve lost to our running total. 

 Yours in the fight,

~Dr. Ian   

Keep updating your account with your new weight!
