Welcome, everyone!
My name is John, I'm 30 years old and I live in Brooklyn, New York and this is my second month in the challenge. I fell short of reaching the winner's circle in July, but still lost three pounds, so there are many different ways to measure victory here!
I'm three pounds away from my target weight and hoping the challenge can keep me on track to hit it by Labor Day, though I think even coming within a pound by that date will still be pretty successful. Here's to hoping that September is more about maintenance!
I try to do two minutes of planking every day in addition to the usual targets for the group, so I will often throw those into the report as well.
Best of luck, everybody!2 -
Hi
I am an old guy kind of. 64.
I am in maintenance mode. I been oscillating up and down about 5 lb or so for maybe 6 months or so.
Maintenance mode isn't real meticulous but when I am up 5 I get meticulous.
I fizzled at the end of last month. Didn't do deliberate exercise after my vacation. Last week of the month I was pretty sedentary. I budgeted for it though. That is good new behavior for me.
I lost an implausible amount of weight during my vacation. Later figured out that it was hydration weight so I gained half of it back just hydrating for a few days.
Goal for August...
More consistancy
exercise; no missing more than a day of exercise. No eating of more than half of exercise cals.
tracking; Dry erase board on the refrigerator. 1 tick for every hundred calories.
Way less alcohol. 2 units per month. Yeah,
Budget; discipline3 -
Hello everyone!
This is my second month with UAC. My name is Clarice and I'm from Southern California. I've been married to my wonderful husband 18 years out of my 58. We have one very spoiled golden retriever named Tara. My favorite exercises are just plain walking, hiking, and exercising to Zumba DVD's. Lately I've been trying to do a bit more strength training; I'm working with a Physical Therapist to strengthen my back and improve my core. I actually like it!
My goal this month is to focus, focus, focus (as @RangerRickL says)! I'd like to see a slow but steady weight loss and drastically improve my eating habits. I've learned the hard way that you can't out-exercise a bad diet!4 -
Hello!
My name is Kelsea. I am 25 years old, work as a nursing assistant on the orthopedic floor of a local hospital (I'm the one who worries about your joints haha), and I begin my master's program in Physician Assistant studies next month. If you stick around, I'll share what I learn with you.
I have been a member of UAC for 9 months, and have been in the winner's circle only twice, but I have been very active in the group all except last month, when life got ahead of me (it happens). I hope to be more of a presence this month, but if I fail, know that I'm cheering all of you on, thinking of you often, and have no intention of being away long. This group has helped me lose more than 25 lbs and has supported me through many health and fitness challenges throughout the last year, and I absolutely love it!
Feel free to friend me!4 -
Hi , I'm Jodi from Ohio. 2nd month with the UAC. It is exactly what I need to help me maintain my 60-70 pound weight loss. -- As you can see it rolls up and down a bit, but for 7 years I have had a healthy BMI. My battle with weight has been lifelong. == Fat kid in kindergarten --so I am proud of these 7 years.
I'm married 29 years with two daughters 20 and 23 and a black lab (Maggie, my screen name) I sit behind a desk most days. I enjoying skiing, cycling, and gardening. I have a library of fitness DVDs, ---some really old favorites and I do Zumba in the privacy of my house.2 -
I'm Anya, a nurse practitioner in California, who makes house-calls to home bound senior patients. I spend a lot of time in the car, so I do basic old school weight training to keep back/neck pain at bay. This is my second month of UAC. I lost 1 whole pound last month, but that's ok. I'll be happy if I can peel off another 1-2 lbs this month. In fact, I'll just be happy if I can stick with it. I'm looking forward to checking in and seeing how you're all doing this month.1
