Last night, our unstoppable development team rolled out a series of fixes and upgrades to the site. As part of these fixes, I have it on good authority that remaining archived MyPlate data should be restored over the next day or so. Stay tuned! read more

American Century Investments will be supporting the Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF) for its fourth year in a row at the 2009 American Century Championship Celebrity Golf Tournament, July 17-19. The 54-hole tournament has been played at the Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course since its inception in 1990.
 
This year's high-profile celebrity golf event coincides with Lance Armstrong's return to cycling and will call attention to the worldwide cancer epidemic that claims eight million lives each year. The American Century Championship will help build awareness for the
LIVESTRONG Global Cancer Campaign and raise funds for the LAF.
 
Supporting Lance Armstrong and the LAF is a natural fit for American Century Investments. Founder Jim Stowers Jr. and his wife, Virginia, both cancer survivors, established the Stowers Institute for Medical Research, to identify more effective means of preventing, treating and curing gene-based diseases like cancer.

As Krisserin posted yesterday, we're celebrating LIVESTRONG.COM's first birthday. It's been an amazing year for us, and we've seen traffic on the site skyrocket. As you may have noticed, from time to time — especially around mealtimes — we've been experiencing some growing pains! The site can be frustratingly slow to use during peak hours for some of you, and that bugs us as much as it bugs you. read more

One year ago, LIVESTRONG.COM launched with the goal of giving people the tools to change their lives for the better.

We dared you to change your lives, drink more water, track your food and even spend more time with your family.

Since then, LIVESTRONG.COM members (that's you!) have grown to 1.5 million! And, here is what you've accomplished on the site:

•    Spent 410,214,681 minutes exercising
•    Consumed 700,000 lbs of coffee
•    Eaten 55,000 pounds of eggs (and, as LIVESTRONG.COM’s Healthy Alternatives would tell you, could have saved 14,080,000 calories by eating egg whites instead!)
•    Dropped 33,000 inches from their waists
•    Eaten 2,000,000 ounces of chicken breast
•    125,143 Dares taken
•    65,272 Groups formed
•    Burned 3 Billion calories
•    5.3 Million pounds lost!

Your dedication is inspiring!

So, since it's our birthday and we get one wish, the LIVESTRONG.COM team would like to ask you to share the love.

You've done an amazing job changing your life for the better, now it's your turn to help someone else. Dare someone you love to quit smoking or drink more water. Introduce them to the Daily Plate and help them manage their health goals.

Give your friends and family the gift of health this year, it's the gift that keeps on giving.

Thank you for an amazing year and hopefully many years to come.

Warm wishes,
