Hi, my name is Naomi. I am an on and off weight conscious person. Ready to stay on track. I think this group will help me cause I do t want to be disqualified lol. I lost 50lbs after my baby she is 7 m okknths now but I still want to lose 40 more. It's hard but I know I can do it if I stay focused. I joined MPG cause I can't do it alone.

This will be my second month.. I am going to strive to be more accountable this month. Thats what its all about. Thanks to @RangerRickL for heading up the challenge again!

I always forgot to click the "join" button on the UAC groups, so made sure I did that first this time, lol.

This will be my third month here, can't believe it's been that long already, days are sure flying by fast.
I so love this group - thanks to @RangerRickL and @craigo3154 - for introducing me to the UAC, your kind words and advice over the past two months, heaven knows how I managed so long without all of you, lol.

I love reading each of your posts every day, your triumphs, setbacks and NSV's, are all so inspiring to me and you help me to focus on my own goals and motivate me to keep going, even when I feel somedays I can't - you are all a brilliant group of people.

Looking forward to another month with you all and wish you all the very best.

Have a great month everyone..x

Hi everyone, my name is Shawna. I went from fit to unfit in a span of 5 months. I finally have the right mindset that I need to start shedding weight while becoming more active. Looking forward to the month-long journey! Good luck to everyone!

Hello all, 2nd month for me. Daily accountability is great, I don't want to let myself or the group down.

44 with wife and two kids (11,8) and I live on the Coast in North Yorkshire, uk. Determined to actually do what I know needs doing and not give up too easily.

Hi everyone. I'm back for round 3! I'm not a TKO yet. Dealing with the loss of a close family member here in the later part of August has made every day a pass pretty much, but I'm looking forward to getting back to better habits with the UAC. Welcome back!

Howdy everyone! I'm new to the challnge. I am Bob from the north Texas area excited about a challenge where I can push myself. I'm also a retired firefighter that has let my aches and pains be an excuse for sitting on my butt and consequently have gained over 100lbs over the last 20 years. I started on MFO on Aug 3rd and have lost 15 lbs so far just with LCHF eating and very little activity.

With this challenge, my goal is to continue LCHF, but eating cleaner, reduce my daily calories some, and shoot for 45 min or daily activity. Pray for me, please! I may have lost my mind OR ignited a fire that will rage the rest of my days.

Let's help each other be a success!

Hello Everybody. My name is Simon and this'll be my 5th month with UAC it's a fantastic Challenge that can help you if you let it and I myself have experienced much success since May with them tons of Kind & Insightful people.

Back when I started weight loss I weighed 277 in January and decided to make some changed one of the biggest ones at first was just quitting soda and that evolved into adding cardio and doing weight training but then I got very into cardio and hiking and ended up hiking 5days a week at 8-10Miles a day during those times and lost a lot of weight as of the 29th of Aug I'm 193 pounds so i've had a very successful weightloss.

This'll be my final month in UAC as I wont have access to internet for awhile as I'll be shipping to basic sometime in late september or early october unless there's space before the next shipment.

The only advice I really have is just Be honest & open to yourself it's okay to fail every now and then it's what you do after that determines how you can change and remember you can't out train a bad diet.

I usually have a Weight loss / Mile goal but I was told to halt cardio for now so for this month I'll be doing mainly bodyweight training for example - Push ups, Planks, Squats, Planks and so forth and probably yoga every now and then.

There's no such thing as failure as long as you dont give up.

I'm Janice...48 year old mom of 4...this will be month 3 for me...looking forward to it. Kids are back in school and I will have a little more time for me. Can't wait to get to know you all...

I thought I would introduce myself this month. My name is Joyce. I first started the challenge last month. So happy I did! The encouragement by other members is so valuable and essential.
I am starting to form habits that hopefully I will be able to continue. The one thing that I have noticed in the past is I have a tendency to sabotage my success by giving up way too easily. Additionally it has been hard to pass on food I shouldn't have when I'm with others. Consistant exercise has been difficult. I've had fatigue issues because of a heath condition (kidney transplant). Well honestly, it is probably the meds I have to take to prevent rejection that are responsible for the fatigue. At times I struggle with low blood pressure I didn't have previously--causing more fatigue. With that being said I am so grateful and sometimes overwhelmed when I think about the wonderful gift I have been given. I would not be alive now without it. Every day is a gift. I can truly attest to that.
Last Sept I had a accident resulting in a broken bone in my rotator cuff. A few months after that I had a painful bout with plantar fasciitis which has been ongoing. These two things made it difficult for me to even walk much less exercise. My arm has healed, my plantar fasciitis is better and now I have less fatigue--so no more excuses!!!
I love challenges. I need accountability and motivation--- that's why I'm here!!! My hope is maybe I can be a motivation to others also.

you only fail if you give up. So true

Hi I am Jodi from Northeast Ohio. Third month at UAC I'm maintaining my 65-75 pound loss - as you can see there has been some fluctuations over the last 7 years. MFP challenges really help me! I have a life long battle with weight since childhood. This is my longest period of maintenance. When I recommitted on June 20 I was at a healthy weight, but with the help of the UAC, I am back to what I consider to be a fit weight.

Married 29 years this month. Two daughters 23 and 19. I enjoy skiing, cycling, hiking, gardening. For other exercise I do DVD's mainly Zumba and Turbo jam. I should do more strength workouts ---and I do more when I'm involved in the challenges.
