Thanks for the update on Lynn. I had been wondering how she was. So sorry to learn of this diagnosis - wishing her success with the treatments and a full recovery from the cancer.

What is your MFP name? Retired_Sue What is your real name, or what name would you like to be known as? Sue How did you learn about the 5% Challenges? I learned about the challenges more than 9 years ago from another challenger who was on one of my SP community teams. How many 5% Challenges have you completed? Please share…

Fit Force CL here requesting my team.

@Ceriusly1 - Thanks Ceri.

@Ceriusly1 - There appears to be an error in the points given for Declutter. Fit Force had the second highest number of points but was given only 1 point instead of 7? Points for all other teams aside from PS4L and the Gr8ters appear to be out of whack as well.

The 5% challenges helped me to lose over 60 lbs 8-9 years ago and have helped me to maintain that loss (with occasional gains that I work to get rid of again) ever since. I'm still working on losing a few pounds, but without the 5% Challenges, I'm not sure how long I would have kept that weight off. I don't love to…

Got it!

@Ceriusly1 - I've added bdavis11758 to my manifest and will keep watching for her to join the team so that we can give her a good Fit Force welcome! I've alerted my leaders as well and sent her a friend request.

@Ceriusly1 - Ceri - I've been drinking water as my main beverage forever it seems and here are some things that I do - I start my morning with a tall 24 oz glass of warm water with a few squirts of bottled lemon juice. I also have 32 oz water bottle that I fill up before I begin my workout. I don't drink too much of it…

Got it! ✔

I was fine with the changed format - race instead of flying to destinations each week. As DNjoys mentioned, most don't read all of that information anyway so while it is interesting, it is a lot of work that often goes unnoticed. I had no problem personally with the protein or fibre goals since those are areas that I…

@dazydawn - Absolutely not - you can definitely still join a team. Follow this link to request a spot and one will be assigned to you there. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10925242/still-need-a-team-please-post-only-here#latest Please join your team and start checking it out, getting to know your leaders…

@Ceriusly1 - The post came up on my notifications so I checked it out. I know that you've been busy balancing teams, so figured I could give the basic information to get things rolling. Happy to help!

HI there and welcome to the 5% Challenges! If you go to this link and request a spot on a team, you'll get a response there from @Ceriusly1 who is in charge of placing members on teams. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10925242/still-need-a-team-please-post-only-here#latest Once you are given a team to…

I like @Catwmncat 's proposal to focus on Protein - maybe for week 8 or 7 and 8. I think tracking is always a good one to include because it's an easy one to get away from and we sometimes don't realize how many calories we're eating.

@Dianedoessmiles1 - Thanks - Bonnie had been assigned to our team but due to poor health - actually a bit of a health emergency as we began the challenge, she was unable to join the team for Week 1.

@Ceriusly1 - Thanks for posting this. I usually try to post a weekly report for my team focusing mainly on our results and standings, but I haven't done that yet for Week one, so this is great for those who want to check it out.

@TEXASTITCHER - Jo Ann I'm so sorry to learn of your loss. That's definitely a tough one. Hugs and prayers for you and your family.

Calling all Fit Force members- Please check for your invitation to the team on your Groups page today.

@rlvergirl - I'm sorry that you won't be able to join us this time but thanks for the information. I didn't see any notification for emails this morning or yesterday, but I'll take a look in case they came through but the notification didn't show up. I hope that your husband has a good recovery from his TKR and will have…
