MSN Health & Fitness and NBC’s “The Biggest Loser” today announced a challenge to America to lose 1 million pounds during the course of the show “The Biggest Loser: Couples.” This new program is called “The Biggest Loser” Million Pound Match-Up. Americans will have the opportunity to register with a workout partner on biggestloser.msn.com and compete in “The Biggest Loser” Million Pound Match-Up. Participants will be able to test their fitness knowledge and receive expert fitness advice from trainers Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels as well as from MSN Health & Fitness experts, and will have the chance to win daily prizes. The Biggest Loser participants will also be able to document their weight loss journey, connect with other participants in their area and help support each other in a virtual community by using MSNs blogging service Windows Live Spaces. And the final prize is a trip to Los Angeles for NBC’s “The Biggest Loser: Couples” finale for the top five teams, and the winning team will get a luxury fitness trip for two and a personal trainer for a year on top of becoming super skinny ;) Not bad huh?

Oh by the way, the msn site is shut down fo registrations for now, due to very high traffic. But you can submit your email adress to be notified when the problem is fixed.
