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,

I introduced my mum to the site a few weeks ago. We're both trying to lose weight, but we're having more success than ever being able to keep an eye on each other! Thanks TDP!

I love this site and having been introduced to this wonderful site.
By the way, I have recorded everything I eat and drink and will put it onto the website, not forgotten my calorie intake at all, in fact, it is going well and there has been very little take away for a while, only as a once every two months or so! Friendships made are inspirational and give me the courage to keep going for my dreams and goals! Thankyou Lance and his team at Livestrong!

For the first time in my life, I have been successful at losing weight - 20lbs in 2 months! And I owe the motivation to you guys! The Daily Plate helps keep me honest and I have recommended your site to dozens of people. THANK you for the help AND especially for the gadget apps! I have both the iphone and blackberry. I find the iphone one far superior, but am grateful not to have ANY excuse about tracking.

THANK YOU!
