Hi all!
March will be my second month with MFP and my 2nd month with the UAC.
I’m 5’4 and started @ 237.8 lbs. My goal is lose 100 lbs before Feb 1, 2020.
With 3 days left in Feb UAC, I’m thrilled to be at goal ~ 8 lbs lost.
I love the UAC program @RangerRickL, the group members, the motivation, and the support.
I was looking good to head to the Winner’s Circle but a last minute health issue took me out of the race. Thanks to the accountability, I haven’t strayed from my diet at all and am still losing.
Welcome to the new members!

Hi everyone! I'm Kelly. I'm a newbie as well. I've used MFP on and off for several years and recently found my motivation again. Hoping this group will help me stay accountable. I've already took a huge step by eliminating soda. I am currently 15 days soda free and down almost 5 lbs! Here's to a great month for all of us!6

Wow!! Welcome to all the newbies. It is great to see so many joining the challenge. This will be my 6th month in the Challenge. I reached my goal at the end of Jan. I plan on being here indefinitely as I work on cementing these habits into a permanent lifestyle change.7

Hey! Joined for the first time. I'm terrible at logging any food after lunch. I hope this will help inspire me to keep on track8

Hi I'm Krystal. Ive lost 40 lbs over the past 2.5 - 3 years and at 173lbs and 5'4" I still have some work to do. My preferred method of weight loss has been the ketogenic diet(after much research and trial and error) My latest deep dive into this lifestyle has been by far the most successful since my brother and sister in law decided to join in with me and also since I've finally given in to food logging. So this challenge seemed like a good next step for me. Reporting here daily with the added physical activity is just what I needed to fuel up the ol' engine and double up on some accountability.10

I overheard on the news yesterday, I think ABC Evening News, anyways, they said, what one thing has proven to bring the most success to losing weight according to their report....guess what...…..LOGGING three meals a day it said!! Whoot whoot for us! 3 -
I started UAC last May. February was the first month that I didn't make it to the winner's circle. It motivated me to amp up my game for March. Every time I have a setback with anything in my life I get super motivated to go hard. This week I have gone on a 3 day water fast with 2 days after that transitioning with bone broth. I started researching water fasts last year and always wanted to try one to cleanse my body and challenge myself. I am 48 hours in and I feel great! I'm looking forward to March UAC to start and get to know all the new people and keep up with the old. I love this group!

I have been trying to find this in chart form for some time now ... "cause I can never remember the specifics.
Please look it over, and as we move into a new month we should each determine what progress we have made so far - how far we each still have to go .... and whether our MFP profile expectations are still appropriately set to our new, current reality.

March will be my second month - Barring total disaster tomorrow or Thursday, I should be in the Winner's Circle for February. I started my health and weight loss journey at the end of December. Sadly, this is the third time in the last decade I have taken this journey, I lost the weight, and then gained it back with friends.
I turn 40 in July and I am determined that I will not spend my 40s cycling between taking care of myself and making good choice and getting so stressed out I just eat and drink everything. At the moment, I weigh 192.5lbs, my goal weight is between 140-150. I absolutely intend this change to stick for the rest of my life, and the February challenge was quite helpful in making me take meticulous note of what I am eating, and in forming good habits.
Bring on March!!!

I’m game for the challenge. I need to get back to the daily grind!6

@Kwinnero We have very similar stats (I’m 5’3, 173 and I’ve lost a total of 70lbs -the last 40 with MFP) I track like it’s my J-O-B! Oh and I’ve been Keto since August with my husband, being part of a team makes it so much easier. So clearly we are twinsies!
Hi Everyone!
Being part of THIS team has been great. March will be my third UAC month. One time in the winner’s circle and one just a winner.
So far my most valuable lesson has been February NOT making the circle. Accepting my pass days and moving on was a really big deal.4 -
Another new member here! Somehow, I've drifted off track; accountability to someone other than just myself is just what I need. Looking forward to being part of the team!8

New to this challenge and looking forward to the accountability and positive encouragement.6

I am ready to start March with a renewed mindset and focus. First item on my list is to have accountability so I am joining you for this challenge. Thanks!4

Welcome Newbies and also welcome back oldies.
I have been on this group for over 1 year.
These are some of the sad but wonderful truths I have learned in this journey.
It is about my health /your health. This is one thing in this life that nobody can do for me or you (us).
- Nobody can exercise on my or your behalf.
- Nobody can keep track of what I/ you eat, bite, lick, drink, etc on my/your behalf
- Nobody can stay within my/your calorie budget on my/your behalf

Please do not give up. Please, please, please do not drop out when you fall off the wagon. Get up. We will help you dust off the dirt
This group is very accommodating, very encouraging, and there is no judgement
We are very supportive.
I will be here, some of us will still be here either loosing, maintaining or conquering bad habits. Every small step will put you in the right direction.9 - Nobody can exercise on my or your behalf.
