Hi - I'm Marisa from Northern California. My weight journey story is as old as time. I remember feeling fat even as a child, even though I probably was not overweight. I just wasn't as thin as my friends. In my high school and college years I was up and down - mostly up - and once again not overweight, just not as thin as my friends. Over the last 30 years and 2 kids, I've mostly been up and up and up. Eating too much, not enough exercise and honestly not understanding the basic mechanics healthy eating. Or to be even more honest, burying my head in the sand about the basic mechanics of healthy eating. I was about to turn 60 last year and took a look at some pictures of myself from our family vacation and decided to log back into MFP. The difference this time from previous times have been joining challenges like this one and reading the boards every day. During the 8 months that I've been back on MFP, I lost 38 pounds, met my goal weight that I've been targeting for the last 15 years of 135 pounds, declared myself in maintenance and then have promptly exited maintenance. I have plans on how to get back ion maintenance and stay there over this next month. I've learned so much from all the folks that post here and I love the daily reminder of what it takes to have a healthy lifestyle.10

Hello, I'm Lesley from the SW of UK. I joined UAC in January 2021, already in maintenance. I had some horrible life events happen in early 2021 and found the group very supportive.
I'm a little old lady, retired 7 years. Gained a lot of weight after retiring, joined MFP in 2018 and lost 22+ kg over 9 months.
I know all about yo yo dieting and find this group and the 3 rules very effective at keeping me on track.6 -

Welcome Betsy, hope you really enjoy the group and glad to see someone willing to join us mid month. My understanding is that if you keep participating to the end of the May on the daily threads, you will be in the list of Champions. Later in the month they will post a link to sign up for the June group, and then you will also be in the running for the Winner´s Circle for June if you can limit it to three pass days for the full month.0
