    @pmbach1 have you blogged or posted to an MFP message board other than this challenge, about the magazine?

    @Ceriusly1 No I don't know how. One of the administrators suggested this. If you have another thought let me know. But I will need instructions! :o

    Good Evening Everyone!

    So glad to see some new members in the challenge. I promise it may seem daunting at first or just confusing. I know from experience that it does get easier and all the leaders are awesome and will help the best they can.

    Today has been a stressful but productive baking session. Lot's of movement. Hoping tomorrow is a little more relaxed. According to my cousin's scale I am down 0.7 lbs. Woohoo I'll take it!

    Hi Pam,,, to blog here's how to blog:

    Please first write it using a Document (Many of us use Google Doc). When you use pictures please make them 1/4 of the size of width of the page. Use as many pics as you wish, and words of course.

    From the home page(Light blue line) Look down below to the darker blue line and click on My Blog

    Under Tools you'll see "Tools" Click on Add Blog

    Copy and paste from your document (All at once is great)

    Check off "I am not a robot"

    Than click on "Save".

    If it does not post ,,, the first time ,, just copy and paste again. It'll go through sometimes it can take me a bit, but, now that I blog some, it always goes through the first time.

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this week. My week is going well. I signed up to do a 5K this weekend to see where I am at in my progress. I am training for a 5K in july and started training in April I believe for the 5K. It has taken me a bit as I cannot run every day. My body just won't let me run every day without getting exhausted. I am not sure what I can do to length the time I am able to jog. The app I am using has me jog for about 5 minutes and then walk for like 3 minutes. I am going to have to keep doing that the whole race. We will see what happens.

    @bookieNJ - Perhaps you could ask him where he placed your bike?
    @cormierannie - I did a job/walk yesterday evening. Way to go on dropping off clothing to donate.
    @CSEGUIN2 - Glad yesterday was a success for your baking.

    Well it is time to get ready for work. I hope you all have a great day.

    Tabatha

    @Tabatha_Cain thank you!! My birthday was wonderful thanks to my husband and our boys! Also, our move is going smoothly now, the hardest part is over!

    How do we know if we made it on a team? I posted before the cut off on one of the team posts (RHCS) and wasn't sure if I did that right!


    Today is going to be pretty standard. We have to finish cleaning up our old duplex today since tomorrow is when we turn in the keys. We were hoping to get in an evening walk but the weather is looking pretty rainy today (which we BADLY need) so I may do some yoga or extra walking around the house unpacking to make up for the steps. Either way, I'm counting down the days until we start this challenge! I am not sure what to expect and such since this will be my first one, but just posting and seeing all of you commenting has me super excited!

    Good Evening Everyone!

    Quick stop in as it is getting late. Another successful day of baking one more to go. Not sure I will make it to check-in tomorrow as I will also be heading home tomorrow evening. But will do my best.

    @Cseguin2 ,, Oh hey, did you get the request from the OAL's? It was 450 of the mini cheesecakes you make for the 2022 Summer 5% Challenge members!! Oh we are quite aware we do not have 450 members,,, hehehehehe Hey ,, OAL's work hard!! LOLOLOLOL We WILL share with the other leaders,, maybe????? Please travel safely. SO HAPPY you got to get away. You work so very very hard!! You certainly deserved it!

    All others to check for your invites: Most, but NOT ALL have gone out. If your team was full one or 2 members who signed up near the end may be waiting to see if someone does not accept their invitation. If you signed up for ANY TEAM you may possibly be assigned a team right off, but some may be delayed so we can use your invite to help even out the teams. We like to have all planes with the same amount of passengers in order for all teams to have the same chance of landing first, and at the end of the week, to have the chance of traveling the most miles.

    How to find your team invite:

    From the home page:
    On the lighter blue line, please click on the COMMUNITY TAB
    Then on the DARKER blue line please click on GROUPS
    When you right below the add at the top of the page (If you do not pay for MFP), and before MY GROUPS you'll see your invite.

    @Kurtize ,,, HAHAHAHAHA!! Okay I DID laugh "maybe" A WEE BIT to hard!! TY TY TY!!
    ALL ****PS4L**** all invites have been sent out in the first batch. Please do as the above post to find ours. ALL but 6 members have joined. GREAT JOB PS4L!!
    @Retired_Sue ,, LOVE having you as a CL!! TY TY TY TY for being "AWESOME"!!! It's WONDERFUL to see so many teams filling up so quickly.
    @Bookienj,,, It'll be fun when you get to it!! I love decluttering, but indeed if I lived where they limit the trash we can put out,, that'd put a damper on things!! In Portland they DO LIMIT it, Plus they have to buy these special plastic bags that are 75 cent's to a dollar each. SO HAPPY I DO NOT live in Portland, our city often follows Portland, thankfully they did not do that here!! BUT!! Where I live we have a contact with a private trash company for all pick ups, and recyclables. We are not limited, however, if someone thinks they "recycle" larger pieces (if it can't fit in a large trash bag and down the chute, it can't be in the trash, if it does not have the recycle symbol on it, it can't go in there. I take bigger stuff to the dump. Are you able to drop off you want at the city/town disposal area? We have no limit on that.
    @Texastitcher.. GREAT JOB Jo Ann!! Did you see up above we're asking @Cseguin2 for some of her WONDERFUL Mini cheesecakes,, LOL I HOPE I am remembering the right person who makes them. AM I?
    @Marg750me ,,, Oh I do not like stylus either!! Give me either a good old keyboard (I do not need to look at one) or my finger to glide over the keys (without picking it) to spell out what I want, or I downloaded a Google Keyboard (On my Android phone) so now I can just talk into it, it's pretty accurate!! I am shocked it is, since my Maine accent is quite strong. Hope the internet is back soon and that all very smoothly and even with some SAVINGS at the end.

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    Well it tooks like invites have gone out and you should know who your team is at some point in the next couple of day. I encourage you all to go find those groups and post in there right away. They are all great groups with a lot to offer you. I am still doing my 5K this Saturday and I am super nervous about failing. I am going to give it a good try. That is all I can do.

    @cosmiccurves - I would check your groups page on MFP community. That is how you will know what group.
    @cormierannie - Did you see any rainbows after the rain? That is my favorite part.
    @Dianedoessmiles1 - I am so excited to get everything started.

    Well time to get ready for work. Have a great day

    @Dianedoessmiles1 thank you for your post! that was very helpful and I was able to officially join my team!! :star: thank you as well @Tabatha_Cain !! Also, you will rock that 5K!! I cannot wait to hear how it goes!


    I am super happy to report that we are finally done moving everything over and cleaning our old place, we turn in the keys today and get to finally focus on unpacking and organizing our new home! :relaxed: I have been ready to do this from day one! Going to finish the kitchen essentials first and then work on the kids' playroom. My mother-in-love comes in this evening to be with us for a few days, and we are super excited, and don't want her to be sleeping around a bunch of boxes and unpacked things. Then the next couple of weeks will be more unpacking and organizing as we adjust to our new home. We're all super happy to be at this point now, and I will take the extra movement throughout the day wherever I can get it!

    We are getting some much-needed rain each day, so I have to get creative with my workouts and how to get in my steps. I am open to any suggestions!

    I hope everyone has a wonderful last day of June!

    Good morning everyone, are you all comfy cosy on your team, getting to know your way around ? I hope so!!
    @Tabatha_Cain I think you will do just fine on your 5K and jogging/walking is a good way to do one when it is been a while. Stay focused on the finish line and don't be distracted by anything along the way. I am so excited for you to participate in a 5 K - I have not done one in years and when I did I walked it with my walking poles - it was over whelming due to the crowds of people !!

    Well the 50 yo ( son ) is not working tomorrow as it is a holiday in Canada and should prove to be an interesting day lol he better not suggest swimming, it will be too crowded !!

    Have a great day everyone !

    @Dianedoessmiles1 -yup it will definitely be fun when I get to use it. I think my father in law blocked it even more today. He brought up a power washer to help us with the bee problem we have. Oh we would hate Portland’s rule! We can take stuff to the “dump”. It’s 1/2 hour away-maybe I can persuade hubby eventually
