@Lessennan So glad to see you looking happy! That's a good bit of walking, great job by the both of you! Sending peaceful vibes to you, and I shall always think of you when I attack offensive weeds.
@Kurtize As always, you spread blessings, thank you.
@macrat12 I always read through your collections of tidbits. I like the one about letting go of self-criticism and speak to yourself kindly. After all, if our best friends can accept us, warts and all, we need to offer that to ourselves, too.3 -
Night night. Switch off time2

Good evening, everyone! It's a very warm day here today. My daughter says hello to all. Both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! I went for a short indoor run earlier this morning, before it got too hot outside. After lunch I went for a short indoor walk and I feel great! I'll be doing some dancing later on. Have a great day, everyone! Take care and stay safe. Happy Labour Day to all who celebrate it.1

Good Evening, I participated in the 5% Challenge maybe 8-10 years ago on Sparkpeople. I see a lot of the members of this challenge have done many, many rounds.
Please share with us why you have stayed on the team and how you benefit from being here.
I am looking forward to taking off in Oct!

Hello everyone, I've done many of the 5% challenges starting in SP days and carrying on here. I live in Perth, Western Australia. Here is a pic of Elizabeth Quay. When we go into the City, hubby and I often take a walk here. You can't really see it here but it has a small park, cafes and a walk way. We often walk over the bridge and take the ferry to the other side of the river.

A hot day here in TN. We are back in the 90’s again. We did get some much needed rain here today. The meds I was taking were for a UTI, but the culture came back needing a different one. I’m also allergic to several types of antibiotics and I am somewhat limited to what I can take. Hope everyone has had a good day.3

TO HOT AND HUMID In Maine for this chick!! I'm planning on being mostly inside until Caturday!2

Sometimes I just have to give myself a good talking to.
Today could have been a binge on empty calories kind of evening.
The shawl I’ve been knitting needed sewn up. I’m always terrified of this bit because it’s fiddly but for me it must be just right.
Kept putting it off but the mum to be is coming to collect it a week tomorrow and once it’s sewn it needs washed and blocked out so it it looks properly finished.
My stomach had that feed me feeling though it had just had dinner.
I’m currently reading a book on how to quit eating junk and as I contemplated what I would binge on this little voice kept telling me I wouldn’t feel the benefits of empty calories and the problem would still there.
But the bullet. Sewed the shawl and the hungry? feeling went.
Yeah me

gintex2021 The reason I have stayed with the 5% Challenges - I need the accountability. Each minute of exercise matters, as do the Saturday weigh ins. Each day I try to be a little better than the day before and if I stray I have something to get me back on track.
When I joined Sparkpeople in 2008, there was no one in my real life who needed/wanted to diet and exercise. It was great to be part of a Community of like-minded people, who wanted to be healthier and connect with each other. But there were so many teams that were inactive, so it felt a little adrift. But the 5% Challenges start anew each season with active/motivated members to be our cheerleaders and friendly competitors. It why I keep coming back season after season.

@gintex2021, GOOD to have you with us!! I've been with the 5% Since the Winter of 2011. I stay because it works for me very well. When I joined I was 256, and my highest was 288, I was able to lose a tiny bit with WW, but I was not progressing. I wanted more. I found Sparks with a search, where a member immediately invited me to the 5%! I went down to 163, up to 170 and that's pretty much to where I stay. I've gone into maintenance officially for the past 2 challenges. WOOHOO SUCCESS!! It's the support and success as to why I stay. I've learned it's so much more than watching calories and exercising, I've grown into the person I am today.
What was your screen name on Sparks? Which team were you on? I was as I am now Dianedoessmiles and was on the Dawggie team (Spirited Under Dawg). WELCOME ABOARD!! Have you reconnected with any previous members of your previous team? Can we help you find them?1 -
