Yesterday (March 8th) I finished a challenge so close to my heart the 2025 Winter 5% Community Challenge team!! WHY is this so close to my heart?

I've been able to go from 288 lbs to 175 lbs over my years with the 5% Seasonal challenges, and maintain for 7 years this weight around the 175 mark (From 163 to 180 but no higher and not often there) The hardest part of weight loss is not only losing the weight, but KEEPING IT OFF!!

My body has decided it would not feel well, it's been 3 years of this, finally they realized its my heart and an illness that will continue to affect not only my heart, but also kidneys and brain. I know in my heart if I throw in the towel something I had thought I WOULD do at this stage, will only make me worse in the end, and an earlier death. I thought I was okay with that, but the more my body starts to fight (THANKS to the 5% Challenge!) to feel better, the more I WANT THAT!!! The 5% Challenge will be helping us with Health Habits to create success with ALL members!!

I am excited to extend not only my life, but to offer this to you, and MORE!! For me, its to extend my life, for many not only will you achieve this long term, but give pause for a moment, is there something you can not do at this point? That you'd like to do a year from now? DO IT WHILE YOU CAN!!! Three years ago I wanted to do a zip line, I didn't get around to it, now I simply can't. My bones will not handle it under any situation. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE this same mistake, I thought "Oh I can do it next year." But, we never know.

Take that goal and hang it where you'll see it often. HINT also take a picture of yourself now, hang that also where you'll see it. COME AND JOIN US and next year you may be able to take a new picture of yourself doing that goal!! IMAGINE THAT!!
