    Thank you so much for creating a challenge we can tackle together as a unique family. I may not yet be where I want to be, but I've kept off 25 and keep on trying. God bless you!

    Thank you Lynn for creating and maintaining this very special and enduring challenge! I've learned so much from these challenges, on SparkPeople, and now here on MFP. I enjoy reading about the travel destinations, and especially love reading all the information you provide with the LTGL goals. I find something new every time. I feel very lucky to have stumbled across these 5% challenges years ago. They've become a part of my daily routine. Even those times I'm slacking, I'm still aware of trying to get in some exercise minutes, and at least be aware of the current LTGLs.

    Thank you Lynn, 🎉🏆🎊
    your brilliant, kind, insightful challenges have helped so many of us more than you might imagine. And the mind expanding virtual global travel - so many wonderful places, new ideas, good natured health insights and warm welcome to all who have joined your many challenges. Thanks to your creation, somewhere between SparkPeople and MFP I lost over 30 lbs of “checked baggage” - and I’m never going to reclaim it 😸🎉🧳

    Lynn, I can’t imagine how many hours/days/weeks/months even years you have dedicated yourself to keeping this challenge going! This challenge touches the hearts of many of us who are doing it. As dianadoessmiles mentioned, it’s challenging enough to keep me motivated, but flexible enough that I can fit it into a busy schedule!

    There are times in the past where I didn’t feel, I had enough self-discipline to ever lose the weight that was starting to cause some health issues. Since joining this challenge over a year ago, I have been able to drop below a weight that I didn’t think possible anymore and keep it off successfully and continue to keep losing and getting healthier! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! ~ Tobi

    Lynn, thank you for getting this place shipshape! I really have no idea how u do all of it. I am happy you are here as u made Spark a great place and you are doing the same thing here. We have been on a few teams together at spark and here too. Cloverleaf's and now Fit Force. I tried mfp before spark shut down and didn't like it. This is so much better to use. thank you thank you!

    Thanks you for making your vision a reality, Lynn @kaliswalker. I think this is my fourth challenge, and many times I have wondered about the origins of this wonderful group. It has helped keep me accountable and hopeful.

    I am grateful for your vision and leadership!

    Kali, (Lynne) I thank you for your vision, for commandeering the entire challenge, and for your strong leadership qualities and the drive you possess. If not for you, none of us would probably have reached the goals we have reached and maintained. You are making a huge difference, my friend, I am grateful from the bottom of my heart. Kudos! A job well done for a very long time. THANKS! I just can't thank you enough!
