Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is America On the Move Foundation?
America On the Move Foundation (AOM) is a leading national non-profit organization in the field of healthy weight management, focused on healthful eating and active living. Research has shown that AOM’s small changes approach can stop the average one to two pound weight gain experienced by most Americans each year by balancing the energy they burn with the calories they consume – a state known as “energy balance.”

The concept of energy balance is simple: move more and eat smart. Start by making AOM’s 2 small daily changes:
 • TAKE 2000 MORE STEPS (or the activity equivalent)
 • EAT 100 FEWER CALORIES (by eating smarter)

AOM provides free, fun programs, tools, and resources for individuals, families, groups and communities. AOM’s science-based programs help individuals of all ages manage weight effectively through “small changes” to healthy eating and active living habits.

2. Once I join AOM Mobile, do I have to text my steps each day?
Once you join you can either text your steps each day to STEPS (space) # of steps to 50555 or register via the AOM Mobile website and track online. You can also decide to track using both the AOM Mobile website and your mobile phone. Do keep in mind that if you miss a day of tracking, the only way to record past steps is via the AOM Mobile website as the mobile phone text messages can only capture steps you have taken the day you send the text message.

3. How long is the AOM Mobile Challenge?
The AOM Mobile Challenge begins August 18 and ends November 9. Registration is free and is open from August 18th through November 9th. At the end of the AOM Mobile Challenge on November 10, all AOM Mobile users are welcome to re-register via AOM’s main website at www.americaonthemove.org and begin a new 6-week Challenge via the AOM website, where they can track their progress, set goals, and live healthier. The Mobile aspect of the program, however, ends on November 10.

4. What if I am already an AOM user?
If you already have signed up to use the AOM website, you can still subscribe to AOM Mobile. However, your AOM Mobile account is separate from your AOM website account. So, if you text steps via your phone or record steps via the AOM Mobile project website between August 18 and November 9, these will not appear in your already-existing AOM web account, and vice versa.
