Hi!! I am Hanna. I am 28, from WA. traveling in SE Asia this year and currently in Malaysia. Traveling and traveling with two preschoolers has made me gain weight. I already had weight from my pregnancies so I need to get focused. I know my weakness is the food quantity and sugar addiction. I am hoping to stay active and keep myself accountable for this challenge 4

Joining for August, finally finished the first half of the racing season and got a quiet two months just training, and the odd running-only race.
Glad to be back, I'll try to stick to the saying "you are what you consistently do". Maybe...
Anyway, 32 in Italy, triathlete with a full time job, crazy hours and an insane training schedule.5 -
Welcome to @morriswife71 @studleybride8366 @strongkater @benimbenayse @hannabarket @aliharps @trimi1104 !!!!!
I’m starting my 5th month in this wonderful UAC group & I have improved my habits each month!!
I’ll add that the first month was the hardest, but then I got “in the flow!”
Here’s to August!!7 -
Hello, I’m Caitlin. This challenge is EXACTLY what I need. I am tired of sabotaging my diet. I am excited to have found this, so hello and all the very best to us all for August 😊3

Hi, I’m Jenn. Joining this challenge for the first time. I’ve been off and on my diet the last six months. Really hoping this challenge provides the motivation I need to get back on track and stick to it!3

Hello everybody,
For me it is also the first time and I am quite excited about it 🙈😊5 -
Hi everybody, welcome newbies (well, I've only done this for June and July, so kinda new myself).
I had slipped off the MFP wagon in AprilMay, so to speak, and this helped me get back into it on a consistent and daily basis from the first day of June. Good luck all.... Basically, just don't give up, and it's one day at a time!3 -
Hi! I'm Liselyn from Quebec and I have been playing with the UAC gang for a few months now. I'm maintaining and this group really helps - no slips last for long and the support is great even if you don't make the winner's circle. Welcome to all the newcomers!3

Hi, I am Peggy from Wa. This is the first time in this group and have high hopes of succeeding. : )4

Hello. I am Tami. I am excited to join this challenge as I have been missing the accountability and support so crucial for success when trying to make and maintain healthy habits. I am good on the exercise part, but I want to improve my eating.4
-
Hi Everyone! I am excited to start the challenge. The daily structure is what I need. Thanks for hosting @RangerRickL!3

Hello team! I am Mary (or Mimi is my nickname). I am looking forwards to the accountability of this group, as I do best when I am logging my food consistently. Thanks for having me in your group! 4

Back for my third month. June was a write off thanks to a torn ankle ligament and July included a 10 day celebration of being on earth for 4 decades, so aiming for that Winners Circle in August.
I spend my day playing with snakes, spiders and seals and my off time trying to choke my friends (through a sport called Brazilian Jiu Jitsu). I live on the beautiful south coast of South Africa and had the best birthday present ever this year with a mini summer in mid-winter. August is the last month of that miserable cold season and I can endure it, knowing that summer is coming!!!!
I am close to goal weight and have actually maintained here for 2 and a half years, but I prefer fighting one weight class down (as I'm currently in the upper division which doesn't have a limit in some competitions) and I hate weight cuts pre-fight so I want to maintain within the division I fight at. Only 5 kgs below my current level so not too far away!!!!3 -
Just turned 50! Need to lose 20lbs. I haven’t been successful so I hope this kicks me in to gear.2
-
I’m Louisa from New Zealand. This is my first MFP challenge and perfect for me. I work as a pastry chef and am very unaccountable for the food I put in my mouth3
-
Hi I'm Traci. I need support on staying on track with my eating. I hope this helps me to stay accountable!3

Hi my name is Del, I am from SA. I recently finished a 12 week challenge with friends and since ending have become slack in tracking and holding myself accountable for the foods I am eating and the exercise I am doing. Glad to have found this group. 😊3
-
I am Rachael from Melbourne, Victoria.
Over the last year I have lost over 40kg and am struggling with the maintaining a healthy diet (exercise is not as much of a problem). I am joining for the first time as I have been encouraged to join some groups to give support and direction. I have been doing everything by myself up until now. I look forward to setting some good habits up over this next month.3 -
I’m Cathy from Chicago. I did this in May and lost 5.2 lbs. I’ve been doing the 10 day challenges and am now down 6.2 lbs since May 1 and a total of 8.4 lbs since April 1.3

Hi everybody! I am here for the 3rd time. Had 2 too many rest days the first and the second i dropped out becouse i whent on vacation. 3rd times the charm or what do they say? Im just maintaining at the moment becouse i got 3 grappling competitions in close proximity so im probably just going to maintain at my weight for this month.3

Hi I'm Helen from Australia three tween/ teenage boys joining up for a second month. Time to give it a better go.3
-
Been in UAC since February, but haven't been consistent with logging for the last two months. I let a vacation and annoying phone issues detail my consistency. In any case, I love this group and the way it's changed my daily habits! I'm ready for August, ready to beat a plateau, and to kick it up a notch in the summer.3
-
Hi. I’m Michelle. First time doing this challenge and looking forward to it.3
