Stayed the same. I need to stay in my calorie budget since I haven't exercised for a few months. Still dealing with my asthma cough after having covid at the end of April. Added a new medication this week. I hope to be able to start exercising this month.5 -
@maryphum glad you're feeling better, if slowly. My cough seems to be mostly at night. I wake up choking like I inhaled a feather. 😕2

I totally forgot today was Friday until just now. 🙃 D'oh! I've already had a 20oz bottle of water and my morning coffee ☕ so am not going to weigh in now. I will do it tomorrow. I blame the holiday on Monday. 😉1 -

Comments: Happy June! May was not a good month for exercise, tracking, or eating. Too much going on emotionally and just like that, I gained about seven pounds. I’m doing better so far this month, and I’m back to tracking my food, which always helps. Take care, everyone! ❤️🙏🏻😊2 -

Off kilter this week/ ok this month 🙂
No tracking or meal planning for that matter.
Tomorrow I’m restarting my healthy eating and exercise routine.
I’ve lost my get up and go. Ha I just keep eating at night
You know it’s time to stop the evening snacks and flavored coffee when the stretchy exercise pants are causing discomfort 🙂
Looking forward to this health journey with everyone!

@LMK02020 let's do this!; 👍1 -
So a bunch of us - myself included - posted in the wrong thread. 🤦♀️ Despite what the calendar 📆 says, June doesn't actually start until tomorrow 😂. I will make sure any weigh-ins or MUAC get recorded in the right place. 🙃1

Just a quick note to welcome any new members. 🙋♀️I will follow up with a longer introduction when I get on my computer 💻, I'm too old to type all that on my phone. 😁

ABOUT THE CHALLENGES & REQUIRED WEIGHT POSTINGSWe 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".Our weeks always start on Sunday so we start tracking tomorrow. Sunday, June5th 😉
Your MUAC 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)
Your Weekly Weigh-In Posts should look like this:

Here's to a successful June!!2 -
Hi there team, newbie here & super excited to get started. MFP worked really well for me years ago but the last 5 years of life have been full of obstacles. Unfortunately I let all that depression and anxiety run my life and destroy all of my healthy habits. I’m ready to gain control of my life and get back to the things I used to enjoy!
MUAC Post
Daily Post: Sunday
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes (over)
Exercise: Yes (30 min rowing, 16 min. Aerobics, 2.5 mile walk)
Goals/Day/Comments: My goals are not to just merely loose weight but to get in better cardio health and eat better. With that in mind I’m looking to have a minimum of 30 minutes of active exercise at least 5 times a week. Yesterday put me at 68 PAI, I am new to my first fitness band and am hoping to achieve 100 year round. I am on a 7 day streak and have registered a loss, wahoo! I went over my calories yesterday by a little (other days I have stuck with the plan pretty well) but at least I moved around a-lot. I made over 10k steps & am getting better with my water intake. I am also registering better quality sleep. Not sure if I am doing this right but since it’s morning here my remarks above are a report on yesterday.
