    @Catwmncat ,@Dianedoessmiles1 oh bugger I signed up on team missionslimpossible. Possibly the next round. My mom will tell you I went to the shelter and picked the ugliest cat there. She was just sick and needed some love. Absolutely adore her and my husband who only liked dogs adores her too. Granted when the vet said oh she's really sick and you know she's part bengal. I said too late she's mine let's get her healthy.

    Hi all! This is my first 5% Challenge. I was wondering if there will be check ins or anything? And when do we find out if we were accepted into a team? Curious how this all works sort of. I clicked through the links but maybe I missed it?

    OMG! That is such a heartwarming story!! You are a good cat slave!! You can always retract your selection, choose PS4L and post that you made an error when selecting teams! We would LOVE to have you with!

    HI So happy to have you with us. At first we bring on the marjority of members, soon after we will have pre assignments for us to are optional for members to do. These are encouraged because they'll set us up for success. Such as goal setting in a reasonable way. Keep an eye on the team descriptions. It'll have the starting date. Approximately 10 days before the starting date you'll be on your team getting to know your teammates. Most teams have a practice week. Also each team also has a chat Feed like this one. You'll be able to chat with others as you can here also. The 5% Challenge is very supportive.

    Welcome to the 5% Challenges. One of the OAL'S (Over All Leader) will be responding shortly! In the interim... Yes, there are check-ins once Practice week begins the beginning of October. If you have requested a team you can always request to join that team during the break to get familiar with how the 5% challenges work.

    We’ve had a great day today.
    Walked 5 miles on the local hilly estate pushing Anne in her wheelchair because she couldn’t walk the distance.
    I’m tired but so happy we could share the sunshine and the scenery. Earlier this year I wouldn’t have managed to the local shop on the flat v5ly93tjv5ku.png

    @Vtoria3 WOOHOO that's the goal to have many newbies along with those of us who have so much to share with them. TY TY TY AND HI!! Happy to you and everyone else with us!!

    AWWWW @Kurtize, today I am FINALLY starting to feel human again!! I even went grocery shopping.
    @rbn_held , HI!! So nice to see you also!! Did you find the team you'd like to be with for the fall?
    @Patti241 Is it fall there yet? WOOHOO as of today (GRAND DAY!! Hehehehe) looks like we will no longer hit the mid 70s or higher!! Today maintance let us know they'll come around to any units with an AC to take them out. We will soon be turning on only our heat!! Living in Maine, not many of us have central AC.
    Todays walk while getting grocery shopping done. Leaves are just starting to turn. They'll not reach a peak until around the 3rd week of Oct. Aso fresh fall flowers, are GORGEOUS!
