I was on SparkPeople for a long time and loved it. I actually loved everything about it! When SP closed, I was feeling lost and anxious. Fast forward to a 'new home' found here. I'm trying to reach out to like-minded previous SP members that may enjoy something new for the Summer of 2025: Summer, 2025 Opportunity

Red Hots for Summer, 2025!!

I love, Love, LOVE all of these comments ~ the good, the bad, the undecided. At the beginning of 2025, I 'got my head in the game' and got back to basics (much like what we are/have been practicing within the Seasonal Challenges). I began logging my nutritional/water intake (the good, the bad, the ugly) and made a…

Thank you SO much for the wonderful compliment. The Overall Leadership Team worked very hard to bring you the 5% Challenge that we have today! It is great to hear some of the comments, especially the good ones. We are always trying to expand on what we have done and we strive to make each Challenge as good (hopefully…

LOVE THESE … the Overall Leadership Team worked very hard to try to come up with a great list. Lets all work hard to practice these Healthy Habits for the 2025 Spring 5% Challenge … even if the exercise is a little difficult, please consider participating to the best of your ability! Remember, participation - not…

@Dianedoessmiles1 Love your story! Thank you for sharing!! The 2025 Winter 5% Challenge helped me to finally get back to basics and to finally have my weight going in the 'right' direction. For the first time in all the time I have been with the Challenges (since 2010), I lost more than 5% of my weight and that loss has…

I'll send you an invite in a moment. . .Heidi

I'm trying but I don't see many upsides to this change although I really am trying to do a little research before 'throwing in the towel' all together. I'm sure that you aren't the only one - but I would love to know your work-arounds for some of the things that we are all having problems with ~ or perhaps you could…

Why do my posts come out double-spaced? Some others I see are not like that .. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance!!

@ladyluk1 ~ Barb<3 <3 <3 <3 You are missed!! Wishing you nothing but the best as you travel this difficult road. Rest up and COME BACK to us REAL soon!! <3 <3 <3 <3

I surely was not trying to cause trouble - just trying to point out some things that have been a concern for some time. The banner above (copied here) clearly states (have a suggestion...): Based on that, I formulated my answer and meant no disrespect by expanding my suggestions (although I don't think that I was that far…

@Go_Gal_Grow ~ Thank you for your AMAZING and inspiring story. You are so right ... it is a journey ~ once you lose the weight, you can never really just 'ignore' everything that you've done and think that your positive result will remain as such. I'm also a caregiver ~ Dad passed in 2022 and now my brother and I take care…

@BKWERM88 ~ Thank you for your comments. I feel the same about many things on MFP. If you are checking, those that lead MFP, please take a look at some of these suggestions. [*] Your food list is no order whatsoever and it's just a jumble of different nutrient amounts for the exact same foods. And, if I do choose to use…

For the 2025 Winter 5% Challenge, I made a check-list of some basic things that I can/should do each and every day. Although I haven't followed my own ideas 100% of the time, I would say that I have done some **MOST** of the time. The blogging piece is one that I decided to incorporate. I would LOVE to be able to say that…
