question - I calculated my BMR, as instructed in the week 1 challenge, but don't really know what to do with this information. Is the point that if we consume less calories than our Activity level lists, we will start to lose weight? But that we need to consume at least the listed at-rest BMR to stay healthy? BMR shows the…

My DH Alan (KALISDADDY) recently had surgery and is healing well. He is doing daily walks now and each day is a little farther. Our friends are looking after our dogs and spoiling them. It's a relief not to worry about them. I couldn't have taken care of hubby and the dogs. Our house is so quiet and restful without our…

He did very well. He looks great and feels great and is coming home today.

And how was your day?

Quick hello. @Dianedoessmiles1 How much does it cost to store pictures on Google? Last night my daughter and her family came over for dinner. Hubby did most of the cooking and they did most of the clean up so it was very nice. Tonight I cleaned up the medicine cabinet. I emptied it out, wiped it down, sorted everything and…

Hi everyone. I look forward to getting to know all of you this winter. @imustloseit1 Linda good to see you again. Sound like you are exercising your patience. @Tabatha_Cain I hope you can talk with your doctor right away! That's a lot to think about. My dogs were just chaos running around but we finally got them posed. It…

Welcome everyone! It's nice to see all my teammates/cheerleaders here. I wish you all a Happy & Healthy 2024! Hi VIP's! We are your cheerleaders!📣🏅 Last night hubby and I went for photos for the church directory. It said to bring pets so we took our 2 dogs. There were so excited it was hard to get them calmed down for a…

@Ceriusly1 You have be so important to the success of the 5% Challengers. I've always said that when you put the teams together it's like herding cats, haha but you get us assembled and on our way. Without the accountability with our teams a Saturday weigh in would be just another weigh in, but I have a feeling of…

Hi teammates. I just caught up on everything here. Nice to see old and new friends. I am making this my day one of my winter exercise and diet plan. I will be doing YouTube exercises, gym and high fiber diet. I am home today with a sick kid. We are watching a Netflix movie Goosebumps. We are having a pizza party tomorrow…

gintex2021 The reason I have stayed with the 5% Challenges - I need the accountability. Each minute of exercise matters, as do the Saturday weigh ins. Each day I try to be a little better than the day before and if I stray I have something to get me back on track. When I joined Sparkpeople in 2008, there was no one in my…

I am at Laconner WA. Working at a picnic table, enjoying the view of Skagit Bay.

That is very close by. We went to Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village on Heritage Day. Huge rain last night.

Thank you so much for your kindness. It means a lot to me, to see the 5% Challenge going strong for 13+ years. I enjoy your companionship and friendly rivalry. The challenges continue because of the dedication of all the leaders! I would like to thank the overall leaders Ceri Ceriusly1, Heidi Hicim705, Diane…

I am sending love and prayers <3

Hi team I am back!

In July I had covid and lost my sense of taste and smell. Some of it has returned, but because I don't get enough satisfaction out of the food I eat, I want to eat and eat and eat. It's caused havoc with my diet. I am considering keto.

I will follow the Volumetrics diet which emphasizes eating low-energy-dense, high-nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low-fat dairy. The idea is to fill up on LOTS of low calorie foods. It is the basis for Weight Watchers, NOOM, etc. I am ordering the book so I can learn more about it. Update -…

I think of this often "You need exercise to have ease of movement, strength to do your daily activities, to sleep better, be happier, and not age prematurely." I had Covid in July, and I tire easily, get chilled and become fatigued. My focus is on building strength and resilience. December plan minimum 20 minutes of daily…

I lost 90 pounds and it’s been a battle to keep it off! But the 5% Challenges get me focused and moving in the right direction. When I join my 5% team, I feel the support and encouragement to do better and manage my lifestyle choices. I can focus on my eating and exercise to lose weight. During the last challenge on Sept…

What an incentive!
