So am I! Hoping to do better this time around, and get back into the Winner's Circle. The self-awareness and habits fostered here (starting back last October) are what got me to maintenance. May will be my second month learning this new "working on staying the same" way of thinking and living.10

Hi everyone! My name is Cathy, I'm 53 and am an empty-nester. I've got very low blood pressure (POTS), so have trouble with anything that requires a lot of endurance or standing while exercising. I'm not a gym person, but LOVE to hike, walk to the park near our home and do yoga. This past winter we got a treadmill and I broke my foot after trying to run on it, so definitely got sedentary and lazy. This is my first attempt at tracking and exercising EVERY SINGLE DAY! I've recently really gotten lazy with both, so am very excited and ready to be accountable! Looking forward to a wonderful month!! Thanks in advance to all of you!9

my Core Cardio dance program is based on Latin dance too! (5 rhythms in all, including salsa)7 -
I'm hoping to return for May too. I'm currently pregnant with a due date in June but as we all know these things can't be predicted! (I'm expecting to be late again rather than early though, God willing all is well anyway). Excercise is getting more gentle but I'll still aim for at least 20 mins.
Good luck everyone! Here's to a great month ahead!

Hi everyone! I am back for another month -- this will be month #5 for me as I started in January. May will also hopefully be my fifth time in the Winner's Circle. 10

Hello friends! Looking forward to joining this challenge, it will be my 2nd month (started with April) and I think I’m gettin in the swing of things so hopefully can keep that momentum going. I appreciate that extra accountability. It really helps. I’ve lost 26 pounds since joining MFP in January and have about 30 more to go. Let’s do this!! ☀️10

Hi Everyone! I've used MFP sporadically in the past, but never used the community feature. I'm hoping the accountability and group effort will be the motivation to keep me going for more than a couple of days/weeks at a time. Since this is my first post, a little about myself: I'm 35 year old mom of 3 boys (ages 7, 5, & 3). I am a scientist during the day (ask me any nerdy question, if I don't know - I enjoy finding out) and my husband and I own 3 other businesses. I've learned there is no 'finding time', it's all about making time and setting priorities. This is a daily battle for me as I tend to put other peoples needs/priorities in front of my own. I'll see you guys in the daily check-ins!13

Hi peeps! Looking forward to the challenge. I've no problem with the exercise (Les Mills BODYCOMBAT and soon to be CXWORX instructor here!) My problem lies with my diet, and I know it's because I'm not logging every food and beverage religiously! Hoping that this challenge will keep me accountable so I can start to see that number on the scale and around my waist/hips go down!8

Was a bit hesitant to sign up for the UAC but I know I need accountability to stay on track. I need something to remind me as I put my hand on the refrigerator handle, that I don't really need anything in there at the moment. I need to learn to eat mindfully and I really have to get back into the routine of walking/exercising every day. I really think this will help build good habits!9

I’m a first timer. My calories aren’t as consistent as I’d like even though I’m maintaining. I also want the challenge to move everyday. I have a chronic illness but am not going to allow that to be an excuse for laziness. Im quite embarrassed to admit that I get stuck on the couch. I really want to develop better habits as well as being more responsible for my food.

Me too! After 50+ years it’s hard to break that habit!! Grrrr. Looking over the past month, that’s the biggest reason I went over my calorie limit.
I used to have a list of the difference between real hunger and emotional hunger but can’t find it. I think I’ll look that up, print it out, and tape it to my forehead in the afternoon/evening!4 -
This will be my first challenge - I am looking forward to starting May off on the 'right foot'!

Hi everyone! I am a 46 year old female, mom of two. New to this group but not to MFP,hoping this challenge will help me stay motivated. I started out a few years ago at 265 and got down to 179. Unfortunately life happened and I started ignoring my health and got back up to 235. This January I started my weight loss journey again but haven't been really consistent with it until the last month or so. I am now at 217 . I already workout every day and walk 3.5 miles every night. I am determined to get to my goal weight of 150 and live a healthier lifestyle so I can be around for a long time for my kids.10

Hello fellow CiCo fans! I'm a 54 year old dad. I've been successful with MFP and logging in the past but let my habits lapse for a couple of years. My fitness is ok but when I stopped logging my food, the pounds slowly crept back on. I started up again this week and I was hoping to find a way to add some social accountability to my process. It sounds like a little more fun than doing it solo. The UAC method is very close to what's worked for me before so this looks great. Here's to a slow and steady summer of healthy habits!9

Hello all! I was in maintenance most of last year but this year I gained back 15lbs of my 35lb weight loss. I thought I had all of this figured out, that I would be able to maintain my loss permanently, but my daughter was diagnosed with cancer last November and my husband and I had to look after her newborn baby and 5 year old, then in February I got sick and am only just getting over it now. No exercise all for 4+ months and lots of comfort food. My daughter just finished her chemo (she’s cured) and I have no excuse but to get back on track. I did a challenge like this on MFP years ago and loved it. I made it a few times and failed a few times. I’m feeling optimistic that I can do this. Looking forward to the comraderie and the accountability that this challenge offers.10

Hi all! First time in this group. I feel like MFP has changed a lot since I first used it in 2011 and I'm really looking forward to what looks like an active group!7
