The site tallies total pounds lost and offers participants free resources including a 30-day diet plan, online journal, personal weight and activity trackers, and Challenge teams to make fitness easier and more fun. Currently, more than 30,000 Challenge teams--which anyone can join or start their own--are helping those on teams lose 23 percent more weight than the overall campaign average. It's a winning formula--and cities, churches, civic groups, friends and families across America are teaming up to help reverse the epidemic of excess weight and turn it into a culture of healthier living.

Already the site has helped more than a million people "Give up the pounds not the fight," and shed a collective 4 million pounds. For more information on The 50 Million Pound Challenge Walk-Off please visit 50MillionPounds.com. The 50 Million Pound Challenge is sponsored by State Farm.
