19,406 people and 1,263 teams participated in the 2008 WOMAN Challenge!
Here is what others have said about the
WOMAN Challenge!

"I never realized just how much time I spend doing "nothing" - it could really count as something big. I started with the goal of just getting moving on a daily basis, beginning with only 1000 steps a day. In just five short weeks I've gone from barely walking around half a block with my teammates to walking an average of six miles a day while on vacation in Chicago! Those 10-15000 steps equated to a weight loss of five pounds - without cutting my favorite foods while on vacation! This challenge has really inspired me to keep going and work harder!"
