Fit Force CL requesting my team again

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…

@DID_60LBS_BY60 @Dianedoessmiles1 - Thanks Diane (two birds with one stone!) 😁 Bonnie will appreciate your prayers and support.

One of our Fit Force leaders manniecat - Bonnie - has been very ill and went to the hospital on Saturday night. A CT scan found a mass in her abdomen so she was referred to an oncologist whom she saw yesterday. She has a lot of fluid in her abdomen which has been making her fell nauseous. A procedure to drain the fluid…

@Ceriusly1 - I'm sorry to learn about the passing of your uncle. Hugs to you.

So sorry to hear this news about Denise whom I've encountered only on our IBC team. Hugs and prayers coming your way as you deal with this battle. May you be at peace in the days and weeks ahead.

I just saw that Ceri - Will do!

Plans are in place - some have been for years - and workout clothes are always at the ready. I have food scales and a new water bottle.

As a leader with responsibilities, I do check in daily and I have a set routine for getting in my daily exercise (with an alternate plan in place in the event that I sleep in or something else interferes).

Mindful vs Emotional Eating I've spent the IBC working on making at least two meals a day last for 20 minutes. It's something that I have done in the past and got away from for a while. Generally I am a mindful eater, but I know that when I am overtired especially, not feeling well, and sometimes bored, I am an emotional…

Exercise - 90-120 minutes, 6 days/week; 30-60 minutes (mostly stretching) on rest days. Workouts will consist of a combination of Pahla B videos (cardio/ST/balance), stretching, dancing, walking. Most exercise will be done each morning before breakfast. Some exercise might occur in the afternoons (walking)

Following the principles of the Whole Body Reset plan, I will *aim for 25-30 g protein per meal (90g per day), minimum of 5 g fibre per meal (25-30 g per day), 2 g fibre/5 g protein per snack * 5 freggies/day * aim to achieve calorie target daily (+/- 50) Continue to work on 20 minute meals at least 2x daily, pay attention…
