      Hello, I'm Sara. I'm trying to get stronger and gain more energy because frankly, I feel exhausted everyday. I've been eating healthier for about three weeks. I'm not seeing much of a change healthwise. Fingers crossed that I'll start feeling better soon.

      I'm looking to lose 25 lbs.

        ABOUT THE CHALLENGES & REQUIRED WEIGHT POSTINGS
        We are going to be running a daily post challenge or MUAC(Mini Ultimate Accountability Challenge) Based on another MFP Challenge called the UAC

        Participation in this challenge is optional but highly encouraged for the following reasons:
        - Helps to keep your goals in focus daily
        - Motivating to see others working on the same things and having the same struggles too. It's defintely a reminder that we're not alone and we are a team
        - Many of us who participate and have successfully lost weight, m would all agree that the daily posting MUAC really is the key!

        The way it works: 
        #1. Track EVERYTHING you eat that has calories.
        #2. Stay inside your allocated daily budget. (you set your own budget)
        #3. Try to do at least 20 minutes of activity a day (anything: walk, run, cycle, swim, gardening, housework, yoga, gym, etc.. As long as it gets you active and off the couch)
        #4. Check in daily (tracking yes/no, calories yes/no, exercise yes/no).

        ****End of the week. those who have managed to keep to plan for 6 out of 7 days are recognized in the thread as being part of the weekly "Winners Circle".        We started tracking yesterday. Sunday, April 3rd

        Your posts should look like this:
        Daily Post (Sunday)

        Track: Yes/no
        Calories: Yes/no (were you under)
        Exercise: Yes/no (what type and how long)
        Goals/Day/Comments: (Tell us a brief description about how your day went or your goals for the day)

        Please post your weight on your scheduled weigh in day, as if you miss weigh-ins, you may be eliminated from the challenge and we don't want to see that happen!!

        Your posts should look like this:
        Krysless2
        Week 1
        PW =(previous weight)
        CW=(current weight)

        Also, if you have any suggestions for the team or fun ideas to spice things up a bit, please feel free to share them, we look for new ways to help engagement and keep people motivated!!

        Welcome to the Challenge!!

        Hi welcome everybody! My name's Krystal. A little about me, I’m 37 years old and Florida native. Wife and mother to a 16 year old daughter. I love spending time with the fam doing boring day-to-day things together. We love hanging out with our extended family and come up with ways to spend time together(lots of dieting land mines to zig zag around all the time!) I also like to watch movies or engulf myself in a good tv show, which I’ve brought into my workout routine. It gives me a nice incentive to keep going on my treadmill..

        I was 213lbs at my highest when I had a breast reduction surgery in 2016. I was pulling my back out and becoming immobile way too often (I’d be out of commission for days on end and it was happening every few months) the surgery helped with some of my back issues and in turn made it easier for me to work out. I mentally started connecting my weight loss with β€œnot being immobile” and that has been my one and only greatest β€œwhy” that I have ever truly needed to keep going on this journey. I started learning about Keto back then …via social media and my sister-in-law and figured different and creative ways to cook and eat without being so reliant on carbs. In 2018 I actually started using the calorie counter feature in MFP and found TBL which helped me break through a huge 170-180lbs plateau That I have never gone back to! At 153lbs now and as soon as I see the scale creep up to 160 I come back to this challenge(doing this now for 4 years and you would think I’d just stop leaving!!)

        My goals for April is to continue to strive for staying under net calories and under 10% carbs every day. Even if I’m not doing keto to a T, I find lower carbs shows results, helps me stay under calories and makes me feel my best!
