Thank you @Ceriusly1 for all the time and effort you have put into the Intentional Eating HH and coming up with solutions to the main complaints. This was all done while dealing with personal family issues and that is a testament to your dedication and loyalty to the well-being of the challengers. I absolutely agree with…

@dbeau57 Losing a child is the hardest thing you will ever do. Take comfort in that you were there to comfort and care for her in her last months and you were with her in her final moment. Your DD knows how much you love her and you will see her again. The pain will lessen and in time the hole in your heart will get…

Ahhh.... @cory17 Fiber is a great one!

Prioritize Protein ~ Eat Protein with all meals and snacks. Prioritizing protein in your diet can help you build muscle, maintain a healthy weight, and reduce your risk of chronic disease.

@EclipsedAgain WOW! Although we've been doing the 5% Challenges together since you joined us here on MFP I have not seen your before picture... just WOW!! The 5% Challenge is a great place to Lose or Maintain Weight while learning Healthy Habits, getting a lot of Support and Encouragement and making Friends.

You are 150% a perfect fit for PS4L!! Please keep us in mind for the Winter 5%!

Welcome to the 5% Challenges. One of the OAL'S (Over All Leader) will be responding shortly! In the interim... Yes, there are check-ins once Practice week begins the beginning of October. If you have requested a team you can always request to join that team during the break to get familiar with how the 5% challenges work.

OMG! That is such a heartwarming story!! You are a good cat slave!! You can always retract your selection, choose PS4L and post that you made an error when selecting teams! We would LOVE to have you with!

Now that you've joined the Fall 5% Challenge Community I Hope you join PS4L... https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10923616/positively-strong-for-life#latest I have a cat named Sweet Pea (aka...Pea, aka...P) and I think you might fit in nicely on our team!

You are such an inspiration to all and we appreciate that you share your story to inspire others! The 5% Challenges are key to helping many of us lose and or maintain our weight for the long haul!

I'm one of the many who has been on the hamster wheel... again and again! With the help of the 5% Challenges I've been able to get off the wheel and keep most of my weight off. Diets Don't Work! Join the Spring 5% Challenge and work on healthy habits while being supported and encouraged in a team environment. Come meet new…

Approx 20 challenges under my belt and the 5% Challenges are still the glue that holds my weight loss in check. Lost 66+lbs and kept if off for 3 yrs, then life hit hard. Up 20lbs, but if it wasn't for the support and encouragement of my team I would have gained it all back, plus some. No matter if you need to lose 100'sof…

How many 5% Challenges have you done? Approximately 20 including Breaks and In-Between Challenges (every one since January 2021 on SparkPeople). What do you like to do for fun? Create silly stuff on Canva to post on my 5% team, online jigsaw puzzles and some word games (not WORDLE) and playing cards and dice games with…

Baggage Handler Please

@Ceriusly1 May your family find comfort and peace as you mourn your uncle.

Weight, Measurements and Beginning Photos Done✔️

@kaliswalker Many team members have commented that having the list of LTGL's for the entire challenge in advance is quite helpful. Would it be possible to get this posted for this challenge?

@Dianedoessmiles1 The LTGL's aka Healthy Habits, that we work on each challenge have helped me through many situations and rough days. Even though many of the LTGL's are repeated challenge after challenge I learn something helpful each time. Also, participating in the 5% challenges motivates me to exercise more to help my…

@Ceriusly1 The support, encouragement and commaderie among the 5% teams has kept me hanging in when I just wanted to give up and throw in the towel. If it wasn't for the challenges and my team I would have put all the weight I lost back on and added a bit extra just for fun. You are such an inspiration and truly do care…

Ready for... Goals written, plan in place, appointments and alerts set, both food and body scales have new batteries, multiple cases of bottled water on hand, new sneakers and socks, junk food (for hubs) limited and healthy foods stocked. Weight, measurements and photos to be done Caturday.

Reminders: I've been adding the Challenge Saturday Weigh-ins with alerts to my phone calendar since 2019 when I first got serious about losing weight and getting healthy. I really don't need the reminder anymore since I am the PS4L Baggage Handler (Weigh-In Leader), I better remember. I do use the alert to remind me to…

Emotional: I thought I had moved past Emotional Eating being as I had it under control for several years but when extremely upsetting and stressful events occurred I reverted right back to old habits. I did use the H.A.L.T. method a few challenges ago and just like @itladyee, I answered all the questions truthfully, knew…
