For the type of way we wish to track our food or to choose a certainly way to eat, is up to each member. The reason why is what works for 1 doesn't always work for the most. Please ask questions ,,, I, myself, refuse to cut out any foods. I learned from another 5% person @lindastephens14 and it's stood me well. Over time strange to me, I rarely have any cravings eating this way. You have a good plan I read it. Do you live in Oregon? Near Portland? I live in Maine, in the Greater Portland area. SO FUNNY our pathway is also called the Greenbelt. Not as wide as yours, and some bicyclists think it's a SPEED TRACK!! Overall though the majority of them are careful.
@pmbach1 ,, your blog was very good!! TY TY TY If you've not read the blog it'll lift your heart! I'm going to look for the magazine. NEAT to know the author is someone we have on the 5%!! WTG!!
@Cseguin2 ,,, WOOHOO that you won't miss your invite!! We love having you with us. Nice job being ready to go and being packed!! Do you find as I do, that I end up packing "those few things I might need."? LOL I RARELY EVER NEED THEM!! LOL!!
@Kurtize ,, ,nice motivational saying!! TY TY TY And we hope you had a MOST LOVELY day also.
@nbruns83 ,,, were you on the 5% On Sparks? Your name looks familiar. Were you also a Dawggie?

Today PT came, a SMALL TINY WALK down the hall, and I couldn't catch my breath!! She was concerned, but this is my normal. She was trying so hard to figure it out. When she comes next week, no doubt she'll come with ideas. In the meantime she said no getting on the floor with Izzy. LOL WELL it was no getting on the floor for exercise, but hey, Izzy is on the floor and so very very cute.

I signed up for 'any' team now. Are the teams using WW point system or calories?

To answer your question - if WW is what you are using, you may continue to do that. The Challenges are meant to enhance what you do now and to give you some tools to help you to be successful but are not designed to change what you are doing, that is a personal decision.


Hello there! Thanks for signing up and we are looking forward to our start date of 7/9. The Overall Leaders (well, actually @Ceriusly1) is busy putting the teams together and the leaders of the individual teams are busy planning and doing a lot of work 'behind the scenes' and will be reaching out to invite you to your individual team once we are ready. This is the 'Airport' of sorts, once we are set up, we will be asking you to pick up your 'Boarding Passes' for your individual planes (teams) and you will get further instructions.

To those that are new, you may feel a little confused at first but be assured, stick wth it and ask questions and get to know your team mates & you will be fine!

Personally, I like to put these dates into my calendar (I use Google). I put in a weekly reminder (on Saturday which is the beginning of the Challenge weeks) and that really helps to keep me on-track as I can see the beginning/end date ~ I know how far I've come and how far I still have to go. Of course, nobody has to do this - it is just for me, but I find it really does work. Nowadays when everyone is glued to their cell phones - it is a great tool/reminder and always with you!

@Tabatha_Cain I have lived in Hawaii for 27 years but thought I might move to Florida and recently decided not to move.

This is what the issue cover looks like I am in the bottom right hand corner. Before & after pic on the inside.
