"My team is comprised of family and friends in Michigan and IL. My family is a little competitive to begin with. But this challenge is just what we all needed. My cousin Traci has already lost a good deal of weight, and I hope to follow in her foot steps. I am proud of my team, and I know that we will continue to support each other and motivate each other to do better."

Bonus Challenges

Sorry, Bonus Challenges are no longer available. The last day to complete Bonus Challenges for the 2008 WOMAN Challenge was July 5, 2008.

Bonus Challenges are a way for you and/or your team to move further ahead on your route, and even make up for the days when you may not be able to reach your goals. For all participants, completing a Bonus Challenge will move you half a point further along your individual route.

If you are participating with a team, each of your team members must complete the bonus challenge in order for your team to move half a point forward on the team's route (don't worry - you'll still move forward the extra half point on your own route even if all of your team members don't complete the Bonus Challenge).

There will be 4 Bonus Challenges offered during the 8-week Challenge. At the start of weeks 2, 4, 6, and 8, a new Bonus Challenge will become available, and you will have the remaining weeks of the Challenge to complete each of the 4 Bonus Challenges. All Bonus Challenges must be completed by July 5, 2008.
