Hi! I'm so happy to have found the March UAC! I'm a thirty-something mother of two precious littles with about 60 lbs to lose. I have two family reunions to attend this summer, and I'm trying to lose as much weight as I safely can between now and then. (I'm pretending my extended family is mean and will demand I attend in a swimsuit for motivational purposes.
) I started logging a week and a half ago and am down 3.2 lbs ... so far, so good. Looking forward to the challenge! 4 -

Hello Everyone!
Happy to be back! I've been an old member of UAC back in 2017 when I first started my Weight loss journey and ended going from 270+ down to 168 and I was in the best shape of my life! since then I've gained some comfort weight with my Significant other which I've been happy with!
But I'm back now as recently we found out shes pregnant so now Ill be a father! She's now 17 weeks pregnant and I'd like to loose a good 20pounds maybe 30 before the child is born and I know UAC is a great way to do it10 -
Welcome, @SimonsChange! And congratulations on embarking on the best job ever. I can tell already you're going to be a great dad!!

Hello Everyone!
I started UAC last month, I didn’t make it to the end, but I lost 11 pounds in February!
I just turned 48 a wife and mother of 3 teen athletes. For me having to log every “Bite, Lick, Taste” was a true wake up call. I need to lose a good 50 lbs.

What a great start, @Heather9033!! That's great!

Exactly why I'm here too! I was thinking on Sunday I may have to commit to this for life 0 -
Hi My name is Laurel. I am new to the group and the challenge. I am working on weight loss right now. I have about 45 pounds to lose. I want to lose fat but also gain muscle and increase my heart health as I just hit 40 this year and my birthday lab results in January were not so great.
I am really struggling with staying focused and on track on my own so I am joining a few groups to keep myself accountable and motivated. I look forward to getting to know you all and working towards our goals together3 -
Welcome @lklimowicz.1

Welcome to the team, @lklimowicz! Glad to have you and you'll find lots of encouragement here.0

I'm back! I really need some form of accountability in my life right now to not increase my weight and to find alternative exercise options.
Those who remember me from a few months back when I was part of this challenge will know that exercise is the easy part for me because I have a passion for my chosen sport, Brazilian Jui Jitsu. However, after adding judo to my schedule to help my Jiu Jitsu game, I signed up for a local judo competition at the end of February. It didn't exactly go as planned ending with a broken forearm (snapped both bones but luckily it was a clean closed fracture so the surgery to install the plates was relatively simple.) I'm now out of contact sports for about 3 months and already going crazy. I've been cleared to do other forms of exercise as long as I don't fall on my arm which is in a splint for another 3 weeks. I'm back at work on admin only duties which is frustrating (my job involves looking after seals, snakes and spiders) and can't drive so spend far too much time at home watching TV.
Jumping in late with a personal goal of getting targets for this challenge routinely by the end of the month.5 -
Welcome back @Dory_42 It is absolutely astounding what an inconvenience it is when one experiences limited or loss of use of an appendage. For me it was a leg, some years back, where multiple fractures required two surgeries with multiple plates, 9 screws and 5 months of healing before I could even begin to start walking, again. Be persistent in following doctor's orders and consistent with PT as allowed. My recovery was pretty decent...not 100% but not at all bad either. Wishing you a full 100% recovery from your injury!0

@BMcC9 Thank you!!
@w8goal4life Thank you! I am behaving and obeying all the rules set for my healing, despite the frustrations they cause. My therapist is very impressed with my progress already even though we were only 2 weeks post surgery at our last session.3 -
@Dory_42, hi! Sorry about your injury! Welcome back!
