Well, I kind of lost the thread during November, but I'm going to try again in December! My goals are of course to meet the UAC requirements, but also to show some restraint during the holidays...1

Hey everyone! I'm Danielle. I am serial yo-yo dieter and I'm just sooo ready for consistency and getting back on track. I'm currently in my 3rd year of pharmacy school, which I always use as a crutch to why I can't focus on getting healthier, but I'm ready to cut the bull. My weight in the past 3 years has gone up and done from 160 to 140. I'd like to break into that 130 threshold and my ultimate goal weight is 125 by May 2018 (currently 158). So we'll see how this goes! One motivating factor is that my fiancé is also trying to lose weight with me

Hi, all,
It's my fifth month in this challenge, and I absolutely love it. Ive lost 21 lbs, so far, and have about 5-8 pounds to go.
I love, love, love exercise! However, my excessive food intake had been a problem for two years...and that, coupled with a knee injury and plantar fasciitis greatly contributed to my weight gain.
Luckily, my knee is healed, but my foot is still being obstinate. LOL!
This challenge has helped me get back on track with my choices and it has reinvigorated me. I'm not dieting, I am adopting a healthy lifestyle. So far, so good.
Welcome, all!!!1 -
I'm back! I've been an on and off UACer for a year. This month I'm aiming to complete my food and exercise diary every day. When I do that, I lose weight, when I don't it goes wrong. I've been making excuses for myself lately (working mother of a one year old and doing a masters) but life is what it is and comes with challenges. There's no use just being able to make good choices when all is good. I need to make the best choices NOW regardless of the challenges faced. An extra treat here to keep me going cos the toddler was up in the night, a not so healthy quick meal there because an essay is due in the morning and missing exercise cos I'm tired from work won't help me. Starting tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow won't help me. Be here now. @trixsey1 and @Gus130 you are inspirational. Life has thrown far greater challenges at you than my little complaints and yet you both plough on. Thank you for being so amazing. And well done. Well done to everyone who's chosen the challenge and good luck to all.0

Hi all! I’m Michelle. I’m a wife, mom of two teens and a full time photographer. At 43, I have a lot of joint issues but if I stay fit, I can keep them at bay. I’m on my last 7 pounds that are going so horribly slow, but I’m still losing inches so that’s okay! This is my second month in this group and I will hopefully complete the month successfully again.1

Hello!! I am so glad I found this group. Everyone's stories are super interesting and inspiring!
A little bit about myself: I am 27 years old, currently working in my Masters and on the path to becoming a registered dietitian. As you can guess time is not always on my side. As both a personal trainer and aspiring dietitian I am tired of feeling like a fraud when I look at my body and/or my occasional eating habits. Monday's and Tuesday's are usually great for me habit-wise but Wednesdays thru Friday's are always a bust.
My long term goals are to workout 5 to 6 days a week, not only keep my caloric intake under goal but being mindful of what types of foods I'm eating more often than not, and to reduce body fat % by 10%. Good luck to everyone!1 -
Hi,
My name is Kelsea, and I am a 26-year-old Physician Assistant student, working on receiving my Master's Degree. I have been busy with school, but many students use this as an excuse to eat unhealthy and quit exercising. I am working hard to maintain my healthy lifestyle while remaining successful in my studies.
I have been a member of UAC for over a year and have lost almost 50 lbs since my highest weight. My current goal is to maintain my weight and tone.
Good luck, everyone!!1 -
Hello all,
My name is Belinda, I am 60 years old and the mom of three cats. After having my thyroid removed due to Papillary Thyroid Cancer in December and RA131 treatment in January (w/isolation until end of March) I started concentrating on weight loss and a healthier woe. For health reasons (diabetic, hypothyroidism, arthritis and migraines), my doctors agreed that I should go on the Keto woe. I have had a lot of success thus far: 75# and counting.
I joined this challenge for a final push through the end of the year and holidays to stay motivated for continued success. I would like to lose another 8-10# this month.
Here's to success for us all!3 -
Hi all
I’ve put my body through all sorts of hell before I was 40 and now at 42 I’m looking to get fitter. I started a month or so ago but find it hard to lose real kgs. I’m from Australia. So metric is my style. I lost my brother on the 25/10 and I’m dedicating this December to him. We share the 17th of December as our birthdays although we were 2 years apart. Big day coming up.
Good luck to all those participating in next month and I hope we keep each other motivated!!
Cheers0
