Stay with the PS4L!!!

@dbeau57 I am so sorry loss. We are suppose to die before our children. I can't even begin to know how you are feeling, but I know you are hurting. I pray that you will find comfort in knowing she is no longer in pain and that the Lord has taken her home. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. God bless…

Read, understood and

I am ready with my workouts and items I need to do these. I will be adding more foods and meal plans as we get closer to the challenge. I am ready for a successful challenge.

I have added it to my calendar. I entered the start date and the end date and also the halfway date so I can see what changes I may need to make for the second half of the challenge.

My exercise plan is getting my strength training, use my exercise equipment and I am going to be doing the 28 Day Chair Yoga for Seniors. I love to walk and I am hoping to get some outside walking when the temps are cooler.

My meal plan is to continue on the pre-diabetic diet. I do read labels for everything to watch my sodium and my carbs. Tracking is a must.

Goals - To lose my 5% weight during this challenge. Why - To keep from being a diabetic. It runs in my family. Exercise - Will be using my Tetter Step up, treadmill and many different types of exercise videos. I have been doing 120 minutes a day. Nutrition - Eating more protein and cutting down on carbs.

What do you like to be called? What do you like to be called? I go by Sue or Susie. I use Sue here on the team. How did you learn about the 5% Challenges? I joined the SUDS team on Spark People and I met Diane1. She helped me get started with the 5% challenge. How many 5% Challenges have you done? I have been doing these…

I have been with several ladies on a team when we started on SP. I am very focused on doing my best for myself and for this team. There is always someone to help you with anything that happens and they are quick to check on you if you haven't posted anything for a couple of days or if there is bad weather where you live.…

Thanks for the info for the Fall 5% Challenge. For week 8 maybe it could be NSV and measurements.

I want to be on the PS4L team again.

What do you like to be called? Sue How did you learn about the 5% Challenges? Many years ago when I was with SP How many 5% Challenges have you done? I can’t remember for sure, but I believe it was in 2011. That’s when I met @Dianedoessmiles1 and she invited me to join the SUDS team. What do you like to do for fun? I love…

Yes!! I need to be on this team!! PS4L forever!!

How many 5% Challenges have you done? I have lost count. I started doing the challenges on SP and I was on the SUDS Team. That was in 2010 or 2011. I have done a lot of them. Whatever @Dianedoessmiles1 puts down will be the same for me. She introduced me to the challenges and I have been doing them ever since. What do you…

Don't forget me!! I want to stay where I belong. PS4L for sure!!

So sorry for what you two are going through. You both will be in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you both.

I am ready!! I do have a food scale so I can measure my portions. I use it a lot for measuring my meat portions. I also use it for snacks. Got my, shoes, clothes and my big water jug. It's time to get everything ready to go, including myself. Going to apply all of these things to my daily routine to see how well I do.…

This sounds like a good idea and I just got my 2024 planner that fits in my purse so I am going to try this to see if it helps me. Thank you for this idea.

I used to always measure and take a before picture. I am going to start this challenge doing the before and after pictures and measuring on the first Saturday and then measure each Saturday. There is more to just weighing in. It is easy to get stuck on the weight loss when there are other NSV that make a difference in the…

I am a mindful eater, but at times I can be a mindless eater when I am stressed out. I like the HALT approach and I will be trying to use this when emotional eating is trying to take over.

I will be 72 in April and I am having problems with my knees. I plan to add chair yoga to my exercise and do strength training also. I love to walk outside when the weather allows. I plan on doing chair yoga - 3 times a week Stretching -strength training 2 times a week Cardio - Aerobics, dancing, treadmill and step up bike…

My meal planning - I was doing the pre-diabetic diet and I got my weight down and I am no longer on meds and my A1c is 5.8 which is still in the good area. I think I will stick to following this diet as I was doing so well on it. My weaknesses are sweet and salty foods. Try to do my best to keep away from these. Will eat…

Winter 5% Goals Exercise: I need to do more stretching and strength training. I also want to start doing the chair yoga at least 3 days a week. I have so many different exercise machines, treadmill, elliptical and Teeter Step up bike and so many exercise videos that I plan to really mix things up and not get stuck on doing…

Since May of this year there have been many things happening to my DH and it has been time consuming as I am his care giver and many doctor's appointments. Very stressful months and I have not been doing as well as I should have been. I need to focus more on me and to get healthier by eating better and doing more exercise…

@pmbach1 Hello. I am with you on the hair loss. The second round of chemo and it all started to fall out. I went to walmart.com and ordered some turbans they had and I got 4 of them in different colors. I didn't wear them in the house, but I did when going for chemo and radiation treatments. I have been in remission from…

Sending prayers and hugs to those who are in need of prayers. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

How many 5% Challenges have you done? I started in 2010 with the challenges, but I'm not sure about how many. Maybe around 52 What do you like to do for fun? I like to go to see movies, read books, and play games on the computer. What major city do you live in or near? State? I live North of Memphis. About 40 miles I live…

Gotta stay with the best. Count me in.
