    * How many 5% Challenges have you done? --- None in recent years - I'm a returner. I am really looking forward to the community aspect instead of trying to make it on my own.

    * What do you like to do for fun? --- Sing, mixed media art, my body loves Yoga & Pilates & I love long walks (although I'm soon 59 and it's not as easy as it used to be). I would love to learn flamenco.

    * What major city do you live in or near? State? --- London, UK.

    * What are you health/fitness goals for this season? --- I need to get out of my head and back in to my body and build stamina, flexibility and core strength. I see weights & yoga mats in my future.

    * How would your pet or friend describe you? --- One of them recently said I was one of their 'in case of emergency' contacts. Ice ice baby.

    * What is the last thing you finished? Give it a name if you can. --- The book: Complex PTSD - From Surviving to Thriving - and I would highly recommend it. It has really helped me untangle a lot of emotional barbed wire.

    * What is your favourite TV show? --- I think True Detective is the best thing I've ever seen on TV. I also love Medium.

    * 2 fun things about you? --- I read Tarot and I hope one day to write & illustrate a children's book.

    * Anything else you would like to share? --- I have just recommitted to a new food plan. I have had great success with keto in the past but I find it too restrictive. I'm definitely up for lowering my carbs in a balanced, beautiful way where joy is one of the main ingredients.

    How many 5% Challenges have you done? This is my second. I’ll be in France for the first half, so this is going to be an exercise in keeping my balance with activity and right-eating!

    2 fun things about you? I was Warren Beatty’s secretary when he produced Reds. I own a dancing school.

    Anything else you would like to share? I am embarking on what I call my Mulligan: my second life. The do-over. (Not that my first life was a shot poorly-played; indeed, I think it was pretty magnificent.) Do you remember, when you were about 15 years old, that one magical summer when you didn’t have your driver's license yet, and you weren’t old enough to work, but you got to go out with your friends, maybe to the mall, yet you had a home and were fed, and could dream all you wanted about your life? What did you want to be, that magical summer? What were your dreams? What did you think life would bring you? I’m in that magical space again right now, looking at what life will bring me in my next phase. I read about the Blue Zones and Dr. Peter Attia, but more intensely, Dr. David Sinclair and the possibilities for living another 50 years. What would I do for a second career? Would I use my savings to go back to college, or build a business, or write a blockbuster? I don’t know yet. I just know that the possibilities are endless.

    None here though I would have one a weight loss contest had the pandemic not begun around then. I've lost about 82 pounds since starting with MFP.

    What do you like to do for fun?

    Gaming, watching YouTube, gardening, healthy cooking and baking, art.

    What major city do you live in or near? State?

    Tucson AZ.

    What are you health/fitness goals for this season?

    I am getting back into the swing of weight loss after roughly a year hiatus, in which time I gained a few pounds - less than 10 actually but I want to get to goal weight this time. I also want to get into the habit of being active each day. So far this is day 8 of eating on plan and exercising at least 15 minutes per day. :)

    How would your pet or friend describe you?

    Mom won't let me in her office when she's working! I want in there now! I want to eat every five minutes and I want her to run the faucet for me! I want to sit on Mom's lap and go to her computer moving picture meetings and photobomb everything and show her what a cute kitty I am! She's pretty good with the skritch and knows where all the gooshy food is and now I want a nap. (How my pet would describe me.)

    What is the last thing you finished? Give it a name if you can.

    Um.... a drawing for SwordTember, which is an art challenge where you try to draw a sword each day....?

    What is your favorite TV show?

    I guess it would be Ahsoka even though it's really short? That's the best currently playing "TV Show" type thing I'm watching. I generally like anime. Subs, not dubs!

    2 fun things about you?

    I love growing strange vegetables that look like they grow on another planet, and my living room is a wood shop.
