Hello everyone! This is my first UAC challenge. I have spent January and February setting up a fitness routine that works for me, but I NEED to start tracking my food intake! Glad to have found this group.

This is day 2 of my journey. I did MFP a while back but didn't stick with it. I am 58 yrs. old and need to lose 80 lbs. I have fought my weight it seems like all my adult life. My life took a dramatic change last year. My husband passed away suddendly Jan.31,2017. He had only been sick a few weeks before he passed. It was a total shock and this pass year has been one of the most difficult times in my life. I am just now trying to get adjusted to this new lifestyle. I fight depression and turn to food for comfort. I really need to get healthier and lose this weight. I am hoping joining this group will help me with accountability and I also could be an encouragement to others. Thanks for listening to this long post. Looking forward to getting to know some of you!8

Count me in! Trying to loose 40+ lbs over the next year, I need to loose about 120 total. This challenge should help me start off on the right track.4

In it for accountability!! I started changing my life and eating habits in December and have lost 30 lbs. I'm pretty good about daily logging and I'm horrible about daily exercise. I actually do not like to exercise, but realize it is a necessity. The only work out I get is when I'm at work and that's only three days a week for 36 hours, but I get my steps in there! Now to fill the other 4 with exercise. Looking forward to working with this group, because I love a challenge.4

I lost my husband in January 2009, and it was devastating. Sometimes, it feels like yesterday, and sometimes it feels like it happened to someone else. I'm glad you found this group and hope we can all be your supporters and cheerleaders!5 -
I am excited to join this challenge! I have been logging my food now for 21 days straight and eating within my calories so I feel really good about that going forward. I wanted to join this challenge to get me to incorporate the exercise aspect. My life is crazy busy but I am really committed to the food part so just need to add the exercise also. Excited to see/read all the interactions among the group! We GOT this!3

What a bunch of beautiful people who have so bravely bared their souls in this post. Good luck to you all. You can do this. We're all here to help, support and encourage. It seems like a lot of you are suffering. We're here with you and on your side.
I have been an on and off member of the UAC for over a year. It's a wonderful group and I'm so thankful to everyone who keeps it going so that those of us who lose our way can return when we're ready. I'm committing to posting daily in March. It's a busy month but where possible I'll post more than yes x 3/pass!
I'm a 30something mum to a toddler. I teach part time and I'm studying for a qualification as a specialist teacher for deaf children. I don't have much free time at the moment but I'll try my best. See you all tomorrow! You've got this!

I'm really excited to join this challenge. Scared, but excited. I know I need something like this to help me stick to my macros/calories, as lately I've been going over the daily goals. I dont have trouble working out each day but food is really where I have problems with - especially with eating out on weekends.
Initially I was worried about only having 3 passes in a month (because I'm slipping up everyday at the moment). But I've decided to change my mentality and focus on the positive. So...my aim is to have my name on the list where everyone made it by end of the month!
Looking forward to getting to know everyone

Hello everyone! My name is Isabel and Im 34 y/o. I have been working out consistently since January 2018, however I would like a group to be accountable and share experiences with. I have about 30 lbs to lose. I am currently beginning weight lifting and enjoy cardio.4

I’m a 35 yo wife and mother (son is 11, daughter is 2). I worked full time for 16 years and decided to be a stay at home mom. Ironically March 1st 2017 was my first day of my “new job”. This past year staying home I have gotten so lazy. I had big plans of getting out there with my toddler and walking, going to the park and all kinds of activities I would have time for now. Well, that didn’t happen as much as I thought. I felt like because I’ve always worked and had a high stress level job, I was owed lazy days where my baby and I would cuddle on the couch and snuggle all day (I mean who wouldn’t want to do that with a hillarious blonde haired chubby cheeked baby??). I ended up doing that TOO much and along with being too lazy to even cook (I know I know, lazy to the extreme) I didn’t lose weight and have since started having health issues. I have however been moderately trying to lose weight since October and so far have lost 12 pounds which is not near what I thought I would’ve lost by now. I am currently part of 2 challenges already but obviously it’s not enough to hold me accountable. I need this daily kick in the butt to be more active and STAY IN MY CALORIES!! I know it works because I was consistent for about 3 weeks at one point and lost the 1.5 pounds I have mfp set at! I just give in to cravings and can’t stop. Hopefully this challenge will keep me in line EVERYDAY because even though my biggest competition in this challenge is myself, I am still extremely competitive and want to be in that winners circle every month.7

Didn't make it to the winners' circle December or January and then had a fail February, but I'm in it to win for March!6

Hi! I am 45 years old. I am 5'0 and weigh 106lbs. I don't have a whole lot to lose, I realize! However over the last couple of years, I have developed poor eating habits. Weight is slowly creeping on and I don't feel my best. I realize that I need to take a hard look at my diet and get back on track. Best of luck to everyone this month!6

Hello..I am excited to begin this challenge today with you all!!4

Hello. I’m Mel. I need to be regularly tracking everything I eat. I like food too much and and not happy at the size I am. I need daily accountability...so here I am!4

Hello,
I’m 43, father to 3 kids (16, 13, and 9). My wife is a teacher, we’ve been married almost 22 years now. I have a desk job with some travel, and my kids keep me pretty busy as well.
I started up with MFP about 18 months ago, and told myself I’d give it 60 days of exercise and staying in my calorie goal. I had good success when I finally gave the plan enough time to work. After years of not prioritizing exercise, my goals at first were just to do something. I’ve lost a bit more than 50 pounds since, and am really stuck on my last 10 to get to my initial goal. I’m hoping this accountability will help push me over that last hurdle.
Wishing everyone the best, and looking forward to an April 1 weigh in and seeing a number 3-5 pounds less than the one this morning!5 -
Hello ... I am kittu and 4 years ago I used mfp to loose 20lbs and I am looking for the challenge now to stick to it again and be accountable for the food and excercise again. Hope to do it again this time.
Good luck to everyone3 -
Hi my names Ana. I'm a 19 year old college student and never in my life have I been skinny. Im looking to change that in time for summer. My goal is to lose 20-30 pounds! My fitnesspal helped me lose 10 pounds last year but I stopped and probably gained it all back by now, lets try again! 4
