  • Check list Do you know what diet you will follow? Yes - Just picking lean recipes with a good variety of veggies & fruit, keeping to whole grains and having treats on occasion. Most of my cooking is from scratch, partly due to one of my kids having severe food allergies. (No peanuts/nuts in our home at all) Have you…

  • I'm pretty active with my current martial arts, but I am keenly aware that I need to improve my cardio and my core strength, and could also stand to work on upper body strength. My pup is content to take short walks, but I want to either ease her into jogging with me, or maybe use dog walks as a warm up to a jogging…

  • The 5% challenges are a lot of fun! I have been doing them since SparkPeople was around, and am glad we found a way to bring them over to MFP. The teams are very gently competitive, the goals for each week are fun and also doable, and there's a great camaraderie with the group as a whole. It's a super supportive way to…

  • My SMART goals for the summer challenge: - Lose a pound per week (I'd like to round it up to 10 over the course of the challenge, let's call that a stretch goal!) - Work up to 25 "regular" push ups - Get a full 8 hours of sleep at least 4 nights / week

  • We've been getting little dustings of snow here and there, the most we've had so far is 5cm. The kids are anxiously awaiting a huge dumping of snow, though there's none predicted yet. (You can tell they're too young to drive, eh?) The sky was clear and sunny this morning, but it's overcast now and threatening some flakes.…

  • Hi, all! I was part of the Fit Force team last round, but was too slow to get my name on the list. I'd be happy to be on the team again if there's space, otherwise I'm happy to go where I'm needed. :)

  • Were you a member of SparkPeople? How many years? What was your Spark name? I was a member of SparkPeople from 2006 until the end last summer. My Spark name was RabbitOlm. How many 5% Challenges have you done? Lots? I'm really not sure. I did a bunch of them, then took a fairly long hiatus, and came back in time for what…

  • Hi, from another Sparker! I'm still figuring this site out, but so far so good. :)
    in Hello Spark Friends Comment by visual_echo June 2021
  • I'm a fellow former Sparker as well. I was there since 2006, and had a lot of success when I was consistently using it. :) I was heartbroken when I saw they were closing it down, and as a Canadian I couldn't participate in their new site. That said, I've been playing around with MFP and while it's not the same, it has a…
