I posted a quick invitational blog, and I hope the link works.

Posting my blogs.

I WILL POST A blog.

Blog posted

I will be blogging tonight!

I don't blog . Page is updated

I don't blog but I really like KALISWALKER'S list of 56 things to do.
And yes as a leader i really Love active members-really helps me going also.

I will write it on my page

I borrowed part of Ceri's "dirty lil secret" for one of my blogs! I blog daily not always focused on teams or weight..but I do try to direct a thought or two in that direction. Blogging helps me a lot.

I'll include it in my next blog!

I don't write blogs but agree that being on a team is to support each other and do the best we can with our circumstances.

I write blogs but not everyday. My goal is once a week.

I will write a blog.

I will be doing a blog, hopefully before the challenge starts. I haven't written a blog in over three years, so it's about time.

I did a blog

JUMPING on the band wagon.

When we join the 5% Challenge we all know this (if we've been on it before as many of us have been,) or if when we first join so many of us are EXCITED to see it IS an active team.

This does NOT mean that we NEED to kill ourselves with exercising. I have many health issues and have even more thru the almost 9 years of being on the 5% Challenge, but it does mean doing what I can. Everyone is at a different point and hey, WOOHOO to all! Be it that just starting out or like me ,,, currently with a broken foot ,, doing 10 mins 3 times a week of exercise,, GREAT JOB!! I do over that, but where's I started years ago.

The LTGLs not all of them I LOVE, or even LIKE ! LOL that's really WHY I stay with it!! I NEED to be healthier and the 5% is helping me to do so. WOOHOO TO THAT!! AND TY OALs for these and this!!

(I See the line for my blog coming on,,, don't you?)

But YES as both a member and leader it IS FRUSTRATING as can be when one joins challenge after challenge, but barely does anything with it, or "forgets" weekly to post more than 3 or maybe 4 days of the week. Especially if it's a team that is competitive as our team is. Our leaders are so good at reminding our members that they DO NOT NEED to exercise harder etc, just to report what it is they've done.

I absolutely DO credit my success to the 5% Challenge!! BLOG COMING ON!! WOOHOO!!

I agree with paceka1.
The leaders give up their valuable time and energy to organise and manage these challenges don’t make a fool of them and not participate. Someone else could make better use and benefit from a space you’re not using.

Make it work for you by working the 8 weeks of the challenge

I'll write my blog later and will use the last paragraph about the challenge and too will use KALISWALKER's blurb and link. My goal is to continue blogging daily, and reaching my Macros.

I wrote my blog, with the last paragraph being more about the Challenge, using KALISWALKER's blurb and link. My goal is to be better about blogging, and get back to counting calories. I need to still update my SPARK page to refect the new challenge.

KALISWALKER, loved your blog!!

I wrote a blog and worked out my exercise and nutrition and then updated my page. Hope the link works! This will be my first 5% Challenge and I'm so excited! I'm starting on my walking program today (it's a 12 week program) and before bed yoga as well. The rest I'll start on Monday, I'm trying to make Sunday my rest day, except for walking, which is a milder walking day so a break but still being active.

I have to agree with PATRICIA-CR below. I believe just showing up is so important. Log your exercise minutes every day if at all possible and be sure to post your weight on Saturdays. Your team leaders will greatly appreciate your efforts!

I would like to add, whether you are a new or a regular member of the 5% challenges, that there's a COMMITMENT when you sign up with any team. YES. YOU ARE COMMITTED to participate and follow the rules and requirements for that team. If you do not have the time or willingness to do so, then think it over before joining! That's what a team is all about, each member is equally important in its team progress. We all need your compromise and collaboration.

& Welcome 5% Challengers new and returning. The countdown to the Challenge is so exciting as we gather together and get ready for take-off. Start date October 5

We have 386 members now. If you are a blogger please mention the 2019 Fall 5% Challenge and invite your friends to join. You can use the 'Share This Post With Others' button under a blog too. This will help us recruit new members. This link is to our Community page.

Our Leaders are setting up the Challenge behind the scenes. Your team invitation will be going out later this month so you have time to get to know your leaders and teammates. On the FIRST DAY of the Challenge, please weigh in and note your weight so you have it ready to record on your team page. If you will be away please post earlier, before you leave.

IMPORTANT NOTE - The 5% Challenge Teams are very active teams. There are expectations of you as a member. You will record your daily exercise minutes and Living the Good Life points (future Weekly Challenge themes) by Friday midnight each week. Also please record your weekly weigh-in by Saturday 11:59 PM (or your preferred day earlier in the week). When you join your team, your Team Leader and teammates are there to help you and answer your questions on how to do this.

Please feel free to add your comments, plans, and suggestions for your teammates here.
