    Hi everyone!

    I'm Jen and I'm super psyched about the goals of this challenge! I've lost 35 pounds since the beginning of 2017 and I have another 35 I'd like to lose. I put on a lot of extra weight since 2013. I was working on my Master's so I didn't cook often and we ate out a lot.

    My husband and I have an 11 year old daughter who keeps us really busy. We live in Pennsylvania on a small hobby farm (chickens and goats) and various other pets.

    Looking forward to the next month!

    @countrycreek. Glad you found us. (UAC doesn't advertise much. Too big and it is too hard to manage).

    Starting a weekly circle from 15th. Great time to join in.

    UAC is about forming habits. You are welcome to join us anytime (no need to wait till the start of a month).

    @countrycreek. Weekly circle is like the monthly circle (daily track calories, stay in budget and min 20 mins exercise) but weekly (and one pass day permitted instead of 3).

    Weekly circles start on the 1st, 8th, 15th and 22nd of each month and run for 7 days. (So this weeks silver circle started 15th).

    As an added bonus, if you make all 4 silver circles, you make automatically achieve monthly UAC circle (even if you had more than 3 pass days in the month). This is because of consistency.

    It is a self-nominating challenge (in forum or by PM). I will be calling for people to nominate whether they made each weeks circle on the last day of the set week (7th, 14th, 21st and 28th). Those achieving circle are congratulated on the following day's forum.

    Even if you cannot make a month, you can make a week :) . Week by week you can make a month. :)
