    Hi myfitnesspal people! This is my 3rd time joining? (I think) anyway, I am back and 2024 is going to be THE year for me. It will come together and happen for me, I feel it in my bones!!! I decided to go Premium this time, and I'm glad I did. I am excited and raring to go. I'm a retired federal employee, husband too. We tried Intermittent 4.5 years ago, it worked great and then it didn't. I'm doing now, what the nutritionist said I should, eat balanced meals and exercise. I am ready!

    Hi, was Aussie45 on SP. Only day 2 on this app which reminds me a lot of SP. More weight to lose this time 10 yrs later. Fingers crossed as I find my way around, cheers.

    I was a Spark, too. I adopted a pound dog who had been abandoned a year and a half ago, and she did a demolition job on my computer. So I've been offline for that time. Now my computer is back and working and I'm back on line. I hope some of the Spark people I used to know are on here.

    Thanks! I really need the 5% Challenge, so was very happy to find it. I'm working on more exercise which is difficult as I have bad knees and lungs (never smoked, but multiple cases of pnuemonia). I just got a friend of mine to be my accountability partner, so that should help. Hopefully, I can lose 5%!

    Hi y'all. I used to be a member of SP. Been working with a nutritionist for a while, but want to work on my fitness and daily habits more, especially with swimsuit season coming up.

    Glad to see former Sparkers here!!!

    Feel free to ask me about disability friendly exercise equipment if you want to.
    We have a NuStep in our living room and it has been a real game changer for myself and my husband.

    Hi my name is Christina I was with Sparkpeople for 10 years. I lost weight and was able to keep it off. I had my son in 2014 and I can not find a weight loose community where I feel like family like I did there. I need to loose this weight I have about 40 pounds to loose I don’t feel good in my skin or the way I look in my clothes.

    I just read on the FB Sparkpage a few days ago that some of us have ended up here and are continuing the 5% Challenges. I kept my sparkname Schnootie here as well. I would love to join in with the next round of 5% Challenges :). I have taken some WW and FitBit detours, and enjoyed some successes, but the communities there are just a bit cumbersome. Nothing like we had on SparkPeople (and I did not enjoy the new SparkOne app). Can't wait to see who else is here :)

    Hugs and Cheer!

    @Schnootie Yes! We are here and waiting for our members to find us! We made a successful transition and although we still think back on Spark People memories, we are so happy for the warm welcome from MFP.

    I remember you! We are starting week 5 of a 10-week Spring Challenge today. I will link you to the Community page and get you on a team soon! I'm looking forward to seeing you there!

    Hello! Took me a while but I finally found this app to replace SparkPeople :) I haven't been active in a program for a while and got to missing SparkPeople so I started searching for something similar and stumbled onto this site. Looking forward to making progress here.

    @Carla831Tenn Hi Carla!! Welcome to this site. I am also a former Sparkmember and found out that my beloved 5% Challenge Teams regrouped right here on this site. I found a bunch of former pals I thought were lost forever. :) Have a great time here!

    former Sparkpeople . Miss it so- lost 50 lbs on sparkpeople 12 years ago. Gained 10 lbs back after Menopause. Happy to connect with former SP members and MFP members.

    Hi Kimberley, bless you, hope all is well and hope you’re well. I used to be on sparkpeople too years back.

    James former spark people. It was a great place to get nutritional information. I was a member of many groups on it. Really miss it. But hope to find just as informative people here in other groups. There are other groups in fitness and other interests here aren't they?

    The 5% Challenge is Still Going Strong On MFP

    1sq5rpbpx56w.png
    Pre-Challenge Week: 10/5 - 10/11/24

    This week is, “Get On Your Team As Fast As You Can!” Your Challenge Teammates want to get to know you! Your Team Leaders continue to work hard to help you have a successful Fall Challenge! Please respond to your Team Invitation promptly! This is the time for practice and learning how your team flows. New members will become comfortable with posting and understand how the challenge works. It’s the time to ask questions and make friends!
    Heidi, ( @hicim705 ) has begun sharing Pre-Challenge Activities to inspire us to be fully prepared when Day 1 comes. It is approaching quickly.
    Healthy Habits By The Week

    Week 1: Meet Your Cheerleaders and Take Your Measurements

    Week 2: Get Outside (as Heidi mentioned, the weather can quickly change so we want to get outside while we still can enjoy the nice weather). Meet Your Cheerleaders

    Week 3: Declutter and Get Outside

    Week 4: Fruit (I am not a fruit eater so when we have freggies, mine are all veggies so I think it's good to separate them, especially since we are encouraging Fall Fruits and Veggies). and Declutter

    Week 5: Vegetables and Fruits

    Week 6: ____ and Vegetables

    Week 7: ____ and ____

    Week 8 ____ and Measurements

    Please help us fill in the blanks above! Do you have a favorite activity from previous challenges? Do you have a healthy habit you care to share? Perhaps you would even want to write it up! We want to know! Please share your ideas in the comments.
