I'm pretty sure it let me pass the challenge by putting the break statement in that location. I used:

let message = "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious";
message = message.length;

for ( let i = 1; i < message; i++ ) {
  if ( i === message / 2 ) {    
    console.log('The loop has terminated...');
    break;    
  }
  console.log(`Logging the number ${i}`);
}

console.log('The program continues...');

As Simon mentioned above, the break statement where you and Simon both have it should be correct. I just tried it to confirm and it worked. See if you accidentally made a typo to the message variable. Hope you figure it out!
