🥳🌷2025 Spring Challenge Theme; It's A Celebration!🌷🥳
Celebration

👋Hello, 🌷🥳🌷You are cordially invited to join the 5% Seasonal Challenge Community to help us celebrate 15 years as a Community! Please join us for 8 weeks of fun as we race to reach our goals and celebrate the victories!

🌷🥳🌷! We will be thrilled to have you join us and help us celebrate our milestone year! We, the Overall Co-Leaders of the 2025 Spring 5% Challenge, are happy to announce that 2025 Spring marks 15 years as a Community, and moving forward to Fall, we will have had a presence on MFP for 4 years!

In celebration of its longevity, we would like to pay tribute to the 5% Community and all of its members! If you were there from the beginning or if this is your first time joining us, we hope that you will enjoy reading this brief history of the 5% Family.

Challenge 1. Spring 2010: The focus was on exercise and fitness. Fitness minutes were tracked, and the team with the most minutes won bragging rights.
Challenge 2. Summer 2010: Kaliswalker took over the challenge planning and added air travel to destinations (fitness minutes tracked as miles). Kaliswalker also added a component of healthy habits called "Living the Good Life."
Challenges 3 to 50: Over the next 11.5 years, the 5% grew to 10 - 13 teams and upwards of 500+ members.

Fast-forward to 2021. Spark People closed, so the leaders of the 5% went exploring the vastness of cyberspace to find a new home. We are thankful to My Fitness Pal for welcoming us to this platform. As we celebrate our 15th year as a Community, we are happy to say we have transitioned well and are celebrating four years as an MFP Group!

Throughout the years, the 5% Challenge has become known as the 5% Seasonal Challenge. Recently, we have revamped the Challenges. We still focus on exercise and 'a race' where the teams compete to reach a collective goal first, but we have also pivoted toward practicing 'Healthy Habits' and actively look for and continue to explore fresh material to discuss/practice with our 5% Challenge members.

Sincere Best Wishes for a successful celebration!

🥳🌷2025 Spring 5% Challenge 15 Years Celebration!🌷🥳

Ceri, (Ceriusly1) Diane, (Dianedoessmiles1) Heidi, (hicim705) and Barb,(ladyluk1)

    @Ceriusly1 WOOHOO We love the 2025 Spring 5% Challenge!! These run year round by the seasons. THANKS to the 5% Challenge many of us have lost weight (I've lost 110 lbs) and I have been able to keep it OFF For at least 7 years.
