    @Dianedoessmiles1
    I just joined the 5% challenge, will they contact me or do I have to keep checking the page for info? I hate being a rookie LOL, thanks!

    HI!!! When you come onto the 5% Team (OR any team) besides the team name, see if beside the group name, notice the bell. If it has a NUMBER besides it, please click on it. That's how the 5% and other groups, etc will notify you of your invite. Plus please keep an eye on the Annoucement area, it'll be posted there as to more info. At this point the leaders are now joining the leader team. We are hoping to have the invites out soon. Please keep an eye on the Announces and also any new discussion feeds. WOOHOO!!!

    After a few weeks, I am underwhelmed with MFP. I like the tracking on my app, it's pretty easy, but not impressed with the social aspect yet. I miss my Indigos! I'm also having a hard time with the BLC here. I cannot find anything anywhere about how to do anything! It evidently started last week and when I asked if I missed anything, was told "not much" but I missed the initial weigh in, any info about the actual weekly challenge and nobody really wants to answer my questions or give me any advice. I'm about ready to leave the group. But if you want to know the weather in any part of the world, you can find it there! aarrgghh! sorry for the rant, but I'm just so frustrated, I really want to participate in the challenge, get to know people and it hasn't been easy whatsoever. I miss you guys a lot :(

    @Dianedoessmiles1 I left the 5% group a couple days ago. I've been having so many problems with the BLC group that one challenge is more than enough! Would've loved to stay, but I just can't do two right now. There's so much to learn on this site.

    @EclipsedAgain I didn't get anywhere with the BLC, couldn't figure out where to post and I never got an email about the team. I just gave up. I do miss Indigos also! I am not overly happy with the community part of this site. I also have so much else going on with retirement. I have ended up working at home to get everything that I need to done. Only more weeks and there is still so much to cover.

    On top of that I am trying to get on board with my retirement job, I am hoping to be a trainer for the sofware I used in my job. I am hired and working through everything but it is definitely intimidating. I hope it works out.

    @ franniedid
    I never got the email either, but ran across the teams when searching. Your name is still showing as a member, you could still join. We just had another member join yesterday. I'm just glad Donna is there too, and I have made a couple of friends on the team. I was so frustrated that nobody would answer my questions. Their boards aren't even close to spark, everything is posted under one team/thread, nothing is separated, which forces you to read every post, looking for posts from the leaders regarding the weekly challenges. I'll probably finish this, but won't do the winter challenge. I hope by then that our BLC from spark gets a team up and going. I haven't heard from anyone about it, maybe I should try to search for some of them. Overall, I'm not real happy here, but the tracking isn't as bad as I expected. The people I've made friends with are very nice too, so there's some things that I like.
    I hope things go smoothly with your retirement and your retirement job! I can imagine you are overwhelmed with now.

    There is a current BLC here, started to replace Spark’s others BLC team. One really good thing about it is that there is a team (White Rabbits) for people who sign up after the Challenge begins - like now. Search for The BLC Registration Team. After joining that you can join White Rabbits.

    My granddaughter was on her school's homecoming court. She didn't pick the odd colored rose, but I was still so proud of her! First pic is my son and his fiancee and the second pic is Riley (my granddaughter) and her best friend, who was also on the court. It's been a nice weekend and tonight is the dance, so I have to go take more pics!k9jscstt5p87.jpg
