Here's part of my story with the 5% Challenge. I've been a member for over 3 years.


I started participating with the 5% Challenge in late summer of 2021. We all remember that as the year that Spark People closed up shop. It was hard to start over with another group of people, but they have become some of my best friends! @dianedoessmiles1 Diane was the one who introduced me to the 5% Challenge. It has made me more accountable, and I can rely on all my MFP friends for support, encouragement and lots and lots of humor!
I am not close to my goal weight, but I am closer than I was. I am certain that I will make it with the help from this team. I decided to go with the visual, it shows you more than words can do.

This is at my highest weight, probably at least 223.

This is now, down about 26 pounds, on the right, but I have more muscle and less fat due to weight lifting consistently.

    Hi I’m Cindy, I had this app off and on for years, but been a yo-yo. Looking for support to start this journey off again. I have about 40 to 50 lbs I like to drop. I’m looking to help support and get support and get to meet new friends in this world of losing weight and getting my health back. Drop some of this medication .
