Hi everyone,
This is my first time being part of the UAC group and challenge. I'm very excited for the accountability with logging. After using MFP for two years I was at a solid wight and 5 lb from my goal but after some vacations in June and July I gained almost 10 lb and am now 15 away. My goal is to be better at logging daily so I don't get tempted to overeat, and this challenge seems like the perfect way to do that!
Also if anyone is looking for more mfp friends feel free to add me-- this will help me stay accountability with logging as well

Hi all. This is my 4th month participating in this challenge, and my 6th year on MFP. Love this challenge because the emphasis is on healthy habits rather than just on weight. I’m only a pound away from my original goal weight, but of course now that I’m almost there I see that I should go lower. I’m smack dab in the middle of normal BMI but still have a high bf% according to my scales, have too high a waist to hip and waist to height ratio, and my mirror concurs, I still have abdominal and visceral fat that needs to go. Looking forward to losing more of it in August.

Hello, this will be my first month joining this group. This time around I really feel like I will be able to stay focused because this time I have a VERY strong support group with my family. August 30th is my birthday so I am very much looking forward to completing this challenge.

there are many levels of keto and you can adjust the % to meet your needs. In last months posts it was brought out that there are new studies that show your diet may have little effect on your daily cholesterol. I found getting enough protein was difficult and key. As your protein % increases your carbs % decreases.

Hi everyone I’ve just joined your group 👋🏽. I’ll sign in later to the Aug 3 thread. Done 20 mins of housework today 🏋🏻‍♀️. I stopped tracking last month and need to get back to tracking and maintaining a calorie deficit. I would appreciate all support and accountability spot checks.

Newbie here, looking forward to a good month! I was on ww, but got tired of paying for little to No success. I figured if I don't lose weight, I can at least stop paying nothing! I'm going to gym tomorrow to try it out (no one on desk duty to sign me in today). So, here goes!
