Hello UAC-May Members!

Some of you have been with this challenge for months and some are brand new. I can tell you that it is one of the hardest challenges to stay with throughout the entire month. FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS!! Log every BLT (Bite, Lick, Taste). Stay strong and true to yourself....YOU WILL SUCCEED!!

Please feel free to share as much information as you feel comfortable sharing about yourself with the rest of the group. I look forward to getting to know all of you a little better. GOOD LUCK!

    Hi All

    This will be my second month with the UAC group and I am so pleased that I found this challenge / group. It is an amazingly supportive group of people and I have really enjoyed posting to the daily check-ins and reading the posts of others.

    I am getting towards the end of my weight loss journey (although I'm not 100% certain where that end is as I've never been there before) and things are slowing down but I know I can make it as long as I keep up the accountability.

    Looking forward to another successful month :)

    Hello Everyone.

    This is my first time with UAC and I'm looking forward to see how far I can go. It'll be nice to be part of the experience and read how others are aswell.

    I've been struggling with my weight for the majority of my life and have decided to make the change this year by eating healthier and working out nearly everyday, The main thing i've done so far was to drop soda and calorie drinks almost enitrely.

    My goal for this challenge is to build up a consistent calorie log as that's a discipline i'm really lacking.

    Have a great day. - Simon

    Hi all,

    This will be my second month with the UAC. The daily reporting helped to keep me focused on my efforts to eat properly and exercise daily. I'm looking forward to another month. Thank you, Rick for organizing this!

    I was in the original UAC group but Rick has made the group more user friendly. ;) I am one of those people I touch base and let you know what is happening in my life. Usually it rotates around my work and family. Every so often I complain about the weather just day to day stuff. When I first started my comment every day was yes x 3 which meant I logged I exercised and stayed in my calories. Lol You decide how much you want to share with the group. See you all in May.

    Welcome, newbies! This is a great to be accountable to yourself and meet friendly, like-minded people along the way. May will be my fourth month with the group, and while I struggled in April, the first two months were fantastic!

    A big shout out and thanks to @RangerRickL for organizing/managing this challenge!

    @simonschange...dropping the sugary drinks is a great way to start. This challenge will definitely cause you to log your food more consistently......weight loss begins in the kitchen! ;)

    Hi, My name is Priscilla and this will be my 3rd month with this group. The first month like @2020pinktogo I was pretty silent but by the end of the month I was contributing regularly as this group is THE place to come for support & encouragement @RangerRickL has done an awesome job of organizing us...lol.........I love the check-in daily and the accountability it gives us. It is great to see all the regular names continuing on this month and I am so excited about all the new ones I see. Congratulations on making the step to join us and I am soooo looking forward to sharing our journeys. Together WE CAN DO ANYTHING! WELCOME ABOARD!

    I'd like to give this challenge a go.

    This will be my first attempt at it as I have only been on MFP for 2 weeks (since 18/Apr). I've been pretty consistent over the past 3 weeks (was tracking intake before MFP (11/Apr) - MFP just made it easier).

    Main goals are size and fitness related. ie. comfortably fitting into clothes I wore 10+ years ago and being able to comfortably do activities I used to do. Seem to be slowly getting there, but anything that keeps me on track will help.

    My main limitation I set on myself getting there is that it must be with activities/foods that I can continue with for the rest of my life. ie. no injury prone activities, no crazy diets, no supplements. I don't care if that makes it longer to get to my goal. Just means that when I get there I have the capability to maintain it. From what I can see, MFP tracking (and self-accountability) is the best chance for me to get there.

    Hello, everyone!

    My name is Kelsea, and I have been with UAC since November. This group has helped me reach fitness goals that I couldn't even imagine reaching before. The support this group offers is superb. They even stuck with me through a bumpy, horrible April. I am excited for a fresh new start this month.

    I have 2-3 fluctuating lbs that I want to lose to reach my June goal. Similar to @aeshippers, my weight loss has slowed down, but I still have fitness goals that I am pursuing. This is a great forum to celebrate non-scale victories, not just weight-related ones. I am hoping to be able to share some cardio and ab related NSVs this month, and I can wait to hear all of your NSVs!

    Feel free to friend me! This will be a month for amazing things to happen!

    Hi everyone,

    Loved being a part of UAC last month, and did better than I would've done without. May will be a bit of a challenge, as we are expecting a daughter any moment now. Will do my best to stay on track! Good luck with your goals, everyone!
