@HerbsandMore - You're welcome! Cooking the turnip in the microwave sure saves all the peeling and cutting of the raw turnip and does save time. Enjoy.
@ForeverFitNHealthy - We're a bit like Wisconsin - we can survive without A/C - have managed to do it for years - but with the summers becoming more hot and often humid our bedrooms - all upstairs - can get very warm for sleeping at times so it would be nice to have it. Hubby feels the heat more than I do so he's find it easier to sleep at night when it's really hot and be more comfortable during the day too. And the nice thing is that if we don't need it, we don't have to turn it on.
Our weather is pretty typical although it's a bit warm with temps just above 0 C (32 F). Fine with me - we're having a new furnace installed tomorrow afternoon so it will be easier to have the heat off for a few hours if it's not too cold outside. We do have portable electric heaters that we can use to keep our family room warm.
Getting a few last minute details worked out on my team so we'll be ready to take on passengers later this week! Have a great day!4 -
Happy Tuesday everyone! It's a beautiful day here today. My daughter says hello to all of you. My family played monopoly yesterday and we all had so much fun! My daughter was the game winner. I've been for a walk and I feel great! I'll be doing some dancing after supper. Have a great day, everyone! Take care and stay safe.3

I have no idea if I am on a team for the Winter Challenge. Where should I look to find out?1

Good Evening Everyone!
It's snowing!
Anyways today was weigh-in Day and gained 4.75 lbs. Almost all I lost over the last two weeks. Oh well it's the holidays and I will enjoy then get back on track. Met with my newest boss to go over something's. We will be meeting a couple more times before he leaves to finish details. He even plans to buy me a cheap bike. He admitted as well that he was interested in me but since I have a man he will respect that. Well I am glad that he will because otherwise I would have had to turn down the jobs he has for me. The new Christmas ornament has been chosen for next year and I have enrolled in classes at home for nutrition and fitness. Lots going on in the new year and need to plan better so I don't get overwhelmed. Most of my stuff is flexible. I just don't like feeling like I am not giving my full attention to everything. I have till Monday to get everything in order and planned for success.4 -

WOW You are all busy!! I LOVE THAT!!
If you've not chosen a team PLEASE DO SO Immediately. If one doesn't chose a team, they don't get assigned one. Most of you know what team you joined, but what if you are not quite sure if you actually did join it?
TO double check please click on the team you signed up for. After that to easily find your name (Including under the Any team" option) in your upper right hand corner you'll see 3 dots one on top of each other. Click on that, you'll than see on the right hand side a yellow/orange line down below. Scroll down to that line and TADA it's a post you put (This is good to do when searching on any feed you made a post). If you do not see the orange line, please make sure you typed your name correctly, and or since most teams are only 2 pages at the most, please scroll down through them to see if you had chosen the team. If not, and you hadn't any other one (PLEASE CHOSE ONLY ONE TEAM) than sign on up for it.
As CLs(Challenge leaders) some will be known as Captains (LOL We are having fun) and other leaders, most teams are ready FOR YOU!! Only 1 or 2 have a few tweaks to do. Starting on Thurs you'll start seeing your invites!!! WHERE TO FIND THEM? NOTE: STARTING ON THURS some members will be a little bit later, so PLEASE KEEP AN EYE Under ANNOUCMENTS Up above for further info.
TO FIND YOUR INVITE: When you go to GROUPS it'll be right there. WOOHOO HAPPINESS ABOUNDS!!
We've been getting a smidgen or so of snow almost daily. LOL It really doesn't add up, but it's PURDY!! And the ground has been white awhile.

Here's what I said on the news feed.
Was hoping to catch up on e-mails and such, but it will have to wait one more day. My dog Sophie who does not do well with fireworks or earthquakes is being a nervous Nellie about the wind blowing the rain into the window. That's right, people. Right now at 11:15pm Alaska Standard Time, it is 40 degrees and raining. Not nice.
Thank goodness I don't have to go anywhere tomorrow. Here's hoping I can get down the hill to Ellie's place, or there's gonna be a bunch of cranky cats.

I was on SP for 11 yrs. I joined one of the 5% Challenge teams (Spring 2021) with the Shooting Stars. Are there any S.S. challenge team members here? Initially, I'd joined MFP the minute I heard SP was going to close. Life got busy for awhile, but I am back and logging in daily. I'm so glad to see there are groups and this challenge team being active. YAY! I see I need to embrace the change instead of only being disappointed by SPs end.
Happy New Year everyone! Looking forward to the support of team members again.1 -
It's 33 feels like 25 with a high of 48 for today. Axe Sharpening: You are the company you keep, be sure you're surrounded by winners.~~~Jenna Fail 1st Phorm Elite Athlete Happy Last Wednesday of 2021. Fitness quote for today: My goals are set PAIN be by guest.~~~gymaholic Motivational quote for today: Begin each day with positive thoughts and a fresh new mindset.~~~unknown Closed all rings on my Active 4 and had 14,473 steps yesterday. Today's training plan is either 10 min Strength EMOM (5 sets) with 5 min rest then 10 min EMOM (Same Minute) and then Core to finish up 3 rounds 1 min of each or I might do in the gym 18 min EMOM (3 sets) then rest 2 min and 12 min EMOM (4 sets). The workout I decide to do will depend on how I feel as of now I'm feeling better.1

Hi @ThursLins, I was a member of the Shooting Stars for spring & summer of 2021, that was a really fun team. Still trying to get used to this MFP platform. I'm hoping by the end of the winter 5% challenge we'll all feel a lot more comfortable with it. Can't wait to get my team assignment and get on the runway!3

Good morning everyone - I sure hope you all are safe and sound and enjoying some relaxing time, or doing things you've been wanting to do but did not have the time. I don't make NYR - what I do make is a plan of action and then I action the plan. This year it will be to focus on fitness - 60 min of exercise a day and to incorporate some form of strength training to firm up my posture and to help strengthen my muscles. Health muscle burns calories - so I need them to be as healthy as they can be at my age. I also need to respect my limitations, and not sweat the small stuff. We are expecting another major snowstorm tonight into tomorrow ( shhhhh dont' tell @Dianedoessmiles1 ) lol 😂
To all those who have migrated over from Spark, allow yourself the time to get to know the program. MFP has some wonderful features that Spark did not have, although I know Spark had some wonderful features MFP does not have. To all those who have always been on MFP do share your experiences and knowledge, any lil tricks and tips for this program will help immensely. Finally, don't be afraid of making a mistake - mistakes helps to teach - at least they do for me.
Lets all get ready to 5% it !!!! Bring on the challenge Winter !!3 -
Hi everyone!2

@Catnurse1,, awww the poor dog!! I imagine its pretty windy at times!! UGH on the 40s and rain, yeah this weekend same thing. AARRGGHH!! BUT YET!! LOL I have cataract surgery at 8:20 AM so I need to be there by 7:45 so I'm glad it's NOT going to SNOW all weekend though it's so pretty!!! It's so strange when in Alaska it's RAINING and is for us, well it USED to be weird, but turning into a normal here in Jan. Sadly so.
@Thurslins ,, Please look at the Shape Shifters to see some previous SS!!! Barb is on there as a leader (Ladyluk1)
Here's the link to make that easier for you. I see some very familiar names there so likely you will too!
If you'd rather join the Shape Shifters, and had asked for another team (Including Any Team ,,option) PLEASE DO JOIN the Shape Shifters (There IS ROOM) but also on the other choice, go in and post that you've asked for the Shape Shifters instead. OH NO DOUBT they'll LOVE having you back!
https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10849258/shape-shifters-formerly-2021-fall-challenge-team-5/p1
@Gardenergal24,, Awww Joni, you've If I recall have asked for the Positively Strong 4 Life team,,, we'd understand if you'd rather be back with the team members you got to know after you were on the Dawggies (LOL For those of you who do not know I was the CL of the Dawggies, and or the ML when Joni was on the team). Really though we want the VERY BEST for you to be the happiest you can be. IF you decide to join @Thurslins on the Shape Shifters ,,, please go back onto the PS4L team (if you did join us??) and note that you'd rather be on the Shape Shifter team. They do need members, and we are set, though I'd cry FUREVER (LOLOL Just teasing her now, she knows that).
@Lindiemaep ,.,, MOVING ON UP I AM!! LOLOLOL!!! WELL hey, we KNOW I LOVE SNOW!! How much does BC get a year? Love your post!! Indeed a favorite of mine is "PROGRESS, NOT PERFECTION!" because we can't be perfect, but we can make progress. WOOHOO FIRST BATCH of invites will be sent tomorrow!! (Thursday) PLEASE BE PATIENCE if you do not get one on Thursday. In order for the teams to have the same amount of members, they are sent out in batches. This way ALL 8 teams have a chance to win the challenge.
@debulaclark , HI Debbie!! How are you? Glad the holidays are OVAH? I do not even celebrate, but LOL I FEEL so much stress GONE since they are. It's just in the air when everyone is a running around, so happy people are more relaxed now.
@EVERYONE you'll see this several times if you are a regular on the chat, but since not everyone is a regular, this will help them find their team invite.
Please go to Community/Groups/immediately under the GROUPS you'll see your INVITE!

Welcome to any new members! As CL of the Fit Force team, I'm looking forward to getting those invites out soon and welcoming new and returning members to our great team for the winter challenge!
@luv2dns2 - Keep an eye on your groups page tomorrow which is where you should find your invitation to your team!
@CSEGUIN2 - I pretty much expect to gain about 4-5 pounds over Christmas because I'm eating more baking (the only time I do much baking) and usually chocolate, but I know that once I stop eating the extra sugar, most of that weight will disappear again. It's already gone down a couple of pounds from our visit to our daughter's place where I was eating more carbs - especially white flour/pasta. Getting back to a more normal diet aside from the sweets has helped.
The new furnace has been installed - not too bad staying warm while the heat was off with the help of a small electric heater here. The new thermostat is Wi-Fi compatible so hubby is figuring that out with one of the installers at the moment but basically they're finished. Nothing on my agenda today so I should dig in to my new book - a biography of Ruth Bader Ginsburg that our son and his GF gave me for Christmas and maybe pick up my knitting work at one of my UF projects! I got my workout in this morning before the installers arrived with the furnace so the rest of the day is mine.
Have a good day everyone!2 -
Happy Wednesday everyone! I actually know the day of the week during winter break which is off for me. Hubby has off til the new year-younger daughter is away until then. So it’s just fun days here!
@catnurse1 -Aw sorry about the weather!2 -
@Dianedoessmiles1, I definitely want to be on the Positively Strong 4 Life team that I signed up for! I was just welcoming one of my former Stars teammates to this winter challenge. Sorry for any confusion.1
-
@Cormierannie ,,, So good to have a job one enjoys. May your D do this for the rest of her life, may all who work enjoy what it is they do. Life is short enough, stressful enough without working a job one is very unhappy with. Enjoy the rest of the night.
@Retired_Sue, indeed the weight will be right back off. love how that works!! YEAH YEAH on the new furnace!! That'll be super nice to have. With prices going up on every thing, nice to have some savings there also, though the upfront cost may be a little ouchers. YEAH YEAH WE ARE ALL SO HAPPY to be welcoming our teams back!! WOOHOO TO Every single one of you!! TY TY TY for picking your team of choice, and BEST TO US ALL! Of course this feed (On Sparks was called thread) will continue to be active through the entire challenge.
@Bookienj, WOOHOO ENJOY the rest of the VACATION!! AND so cool H and D also do. That's a lovely family time!!! PRECIOUS Indeed!!
@gardenergal24 ,,, SMILING JONI!! When I saw you signed up for the PS4L team, I DID ABSOULTELY SMILE SO MUCH!! At one point you had me considering joining the flower gardeners here!! I freak when seeing worms, that's a huge draw back. Did you know when you live in a 55 plus high rise, and you SCREAM when you see a WORM, well that's the talk for QUITE A BIT!! They either sympathize with you, or LAUGH SO HARD extra Depends are needed!! LOLOLOL HAPPY to have ya back!!
We are so happy that many of you who had been on Sparks, are back with members you knew more for this upcoming challenge. We absolutely did though getting to know so many others during the fall. HOW SPECIAL is it that all of us have team choice!!! All we ask as AOL's is that you ENJOY THE FLIGHTS!! As you can get to know your teammates, work towards your goals as you can. Most of all, feel and be supportive of each other. GOOOOOO TO ALL 5% MEMBERS!! YOU CAN DO THIS!!

Good Evening Everyone!
The snow is gone as it rained all day. But more snow and freezing rain is coming tonight. Ran some errands to get ready for the end of the month. Cleaned some more n the kitchen and the living room. We also had Hubby's friend visit for several hours. Usually he drops in and out with in minutes. I am hoping that some of what he said sinks in to Hubby's thick head. I know I am not perfect but things can definitely be better. Tomorrow I am working on the bedroom. I am turning it into storage and maybe my exercise room not sure yet. Either way I need my space in the kitchen for studying. Trying to get everything in order for the New Year. Less stress happier me. Also have to work for about an hour and so tomorrow.1 -
Morning campers.
I’ve not been active on this column recently but am getting geared up for the 5% challenge.
Feeling rather pleased with myself this morning.
Woke to the alarm and had my weekly pill that I have to sit and do nothing for about an hour afterwards. Usually means I skip the exercise. Looked at the exercise bike And it stared back at me accusingly so my day is now runny an hour behind but the exercise is nearly done.

Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year to everyone here❤️ May 2022 bring you more joy, happiness, good health and love.
Apologies for MIA for a while. I was getting the spins now and then and I went back to see my Doc as I couldn't understand why and the maneuvers that I was taught didn't work. All is well now😅😅😅 We finally found out another position of my head that causes my spinnings and now I am good again. However, can't say the same about my weight. But, I will try my best to lose weight and get to my GW in 2022...that would be my 2022 resolution.
Take care and stay safe❤️4 -
Just stopping by to say hello to everyone! I hope that you are having a great day and watching out for those team invitations that have now gone out - at least mine have!
@Dianedoessmiles1 - The furnace is a rental so no big upfront cost and they handle all the servicing and yearly maintenance. Not a bad deal at all.
I'm going to make a kind of tiramisu dessert for hubby and I for New Year's - not that we need it - but I have ladyfingers here that he bought that need to be used and that seems to be the best way to do it. Found a pretty simple recipe to use - don't really want to fuss too much. Just remembered I didn't take the cream cheese out of the fridge so I'll have to let that warm up a bit before I can make it.
Enjoy your day!3 -
happy thursday everyone! it is a mild day here today with the sun peeking out from behind the clouds. my daughter says hi to all! both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! i have been for a walk and i feel great! i will be doing some dancing later on this afternoon. have a great day, everyone! take care and stay safe.3

Happy Thursday everyone! Day before New Year’s Eve. Hubby, 16 yo and I went to the mall. Hubby and I walked 13,000 steps and grabbed 5 guys. Would have been Red Robin but line was long to get in. I have been masking like crazy but forgot one today-it was in my other coat 🥲. @Dianedoessmiles1 -thx! Today we went to the mall-16 yo went off with a friend, so hubby and I walked and walked. We got 13,000 steps just there and did some fun Pokémon go.
@CSEGUIN2 -sounds like a really productive day! Hope you get everything done that you wanted to.
@Lessennan -lol about the bike staring back at you-glad you got the exercise in!
@jadepearl -Aw happy to see you back again! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
@Retired_Sue -thx for heads up about invite! I will start looking.3 -
@Dianedoessmiles1 or @Retired_Sue - can you send me a refresher course on how to see any groups that I have been invited to and just need to hit join? Thinking for this challenge and another I am doing2

If you scroll up, there's a screen shot. But I haven't received an invite yet.2
