Please don't be. I know the feeling, too, but you can do this. Today is a fresh start; it always helps me to start small: What can you do now to improve and move forward?? You CAN do it. I believe in you!!! xoxo One tiny step at a time.4 -

Hi guys! Since I am new here can we do a roll call? Please I compared this month to last month and there are quite a few people that weren’t carried over to July! Here’s a screenshot of Our July roster. Please let me know if you are missing off this list! Thank you! 🤓 @Keepingtrack1234
Good Morning! I’m missing from the list. Hope, I can still be on the team. Last month was horrible for me. The first month I haven’t logged anything and I feel the difference. Today, would be my weigh in day. Please, let me know if it’s ok for me to still be on the team for July. Thank you!
I am also missing from the list. Wednesday is my weigh-in0 -

Each day is a gift and a new beginning. It's ok to feel defetaed but you can use that negative emotion to jump start your new day. Take a deep breath and smile in the face of that pesky weight gain. Tell it to take a hike. Tell it that it's a simple, puny bump, not a lost war.5 -

Information on our Step & Water Challenge! Start counting JULY 4TH!Weekly Step Challenge
This is pretty simple if you track your steps at all(via phone, fitness tracker, pedometer, anything really). You select your own step goal each week and try to reach it. We have two categories for "winners" for the week- Percentage of goal completed, and highest total steps!
The Water Challenge
This is a challenge to get you to reach 8 cups of water each day! The team all has the same goal. Aim for 8 glasses(64oz) of water per day, or 448oz per week! The winners in this category are determined by the highest percentage of water you drink! If you measure by something other than ounces, please let me know what unit you use, I will be adjusting the spreadsheet.
I will do my best to try to keep up, but admit that I may miss a few logs here and there!!!
The challenge will run weekly, from Sunday through Saturday, same as our weekly weigh ins and MUAC challenge timeline💦 👟👟
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN JOINING THE STEP CHALLENGE OR WATER CHALLENGE, PLEASE TAG ME IN YOUR POST @Krysless2 ALONG WITH YOUR WEEKLY STEP GOAL(DAILYx7)AND I WILL ADD YOU TO THE SPREADSHEET!0 -

Awesome! I have added you! and however you want to post is fine. Though I do believe if you make it a part of your daily MUAC checkin that would be the cleanest format for me to follow along😊Daily Post July 1

@Krysless2
I'm in for the water/step challenge.
Step goal: 7,000.
I'm a stay home mom and I take only about 3,000-4,000 steps in a day. So I have to go for a walk or do a "walk from home" workout to get my steps in. This means at least 20-30 mins of intentional workout, which is one of my goals.

so glad you can participate! What is your weekly step goal so I can add you to the spreadsheet?
I’ll reference the MUAC rules below\/\/\/😉 The acronym stands for Mini Ultimate Accountability Challenge0 -
@metubalHello team Gutbusters!
Within the main weight loss challenge we have another optional, but highly recommended, challenge. It is called the Mini Ultimate Accountability Challenge, or the Mini Challenge. It is based on another MFP challenge group by the same name, or UAC.
The way it works is simple:
1. Log everything you eat that has calories in MFP.
2. Stay inside your allotted daily calorie budget.
3. Do at least 20 minutes of activity daily. This could be anything that gets you off the couch and being active: run, walk, cycle, swim, gardening, housework, yoga, gym, etc.
4. Report each day on this thread (something to the effect of logged food: yes, under calories: yes, exercise: yes, and a brief description is nice)
****When you post your accountability, please put the date, or the day of the week to which you are referring. We are all in different time zones, and some people post in the evening for that day, and others post the next morning, so it gets confusing trying to decipher without a day or date. Thanks!!!*****
You get one free pass day a week (went over calories, could not log food, rest day, etc.) At the end of the week, if you have managed to be "accountable" (three yes's) for at least 6 of 7 days, you will be recognized on this thread as being in the Winner's Circle!
This strategy works for weight loss because it is based on CI<CO. When calories in are less than calories out, you stay inside your allotted daily calorie budget, and you will lose weight! And exercise is just good for you, plus it will burn calories and help with the calories out portion of the equation!
What's great about this challenge is that it works for everyone, as long as you are honest with yourself. There are no dietary restrictions, so you can eat whatever you like, and follow whatever plan you like. Your own daily calorie budget is set by you and MFP and you choose your own exercise and intensity of exercise! Plus it is a practice that can be carried beyond weight loss into maintenance! If you are having a bad week, a new week and a fresh start is just around the corner!
Consistency and new habits have been shown to be the keys to long term successful weight loss. Why not make the Mini Ultimate Accountability Challenge your new habit, that you do consistently!!
Week #1 for the Mini Challenge starts today Sunday, June28th!!
