Wow! I should take my Laptop to the Park and sit by the river to do my "challenge job". I will see how far my wifi goes.

Night night. Switch off time

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.

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.

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

good morning, everyone! it is a hot and humid day here today. my daughter says hi to all. both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! we are all keeping cool and well hydrated today. i did my strength training workout indoors earlier this morning and i really enjoyed it. i will be going for a long indoor walk after lunch, inside a cool mall. i will definitely be doing some dancing later on. have a great day, everyone! take care and stay safe.

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

Lessennan, what a lovely shawl! It’s been a while since I’ve taken up my knitting needles, your work is impressive!

@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?

good morning, everyone! it is a mostly cloudy and cool day here today. my daughter says hi to all. she is working at her part time job today. both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! i went for a short run earlier this morning and i really enjoyed it. i also got in my strength training workout this morning as well. i will go for a long walk after lunch. i will be doing some dancing later on. tomorrow i am going on a trip to niagara falls, courtesy of the church who come to my building once a week to provide free hot, tasty meals for anyone who comes to the rec room for food. there is no charge to go on this trip and food, drinks are provided. i have not been to niagara falls for a while and i am looking forward to the trip. have a great day, everyone! take care and stay safe.
