That's fantastic!!1 -
Hello
I am looking forward to once again get back to focus.
This will be my 4th month with UAC.
I remember when I signed up for Feb in mid Jan, I was nervous this would be a group where I would be such an underachiever because everyone would be so ....can't find the right words, but felt I would be getting in over my head.
I was so wrong. Right away strangers, now friends, of every fitness level, weight goals started encouraging me. It's been great.
Unfortunately I let March get away with me, I've gained a couple pounds back.
I am looking forward to May.7 -
Hi! This will be my first month trying this challenge. I used MFP to loose weight 7 yrs ago, and it worked great. But as soon as I hit my goal I I started to backtrack almost immediately. It took years to gain it back, and boy is it back. I need more support and accountability and look forward to moving forward with this challenge.6

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!
Love me some Les Mills. How inspiring that you’re an instructor! You must be quite an athlete. My goal is to feel like an athlete again... and a lot of that is food.
Hello emotional eating! May is going to be a good month. I just know something good is going to happen. Can’t wait to see.

Welcome to the first timers!
I am happy that May will be my second month participating.
Though I am committed to being in the winner's circle my focus will be to post each and every day.5 -
Welcome Newbies and also welcome back oldies.
I have been on this group for over 1 year.
These are some of the sad but wonderful truths I have learned in this journey.
It is about my health /your health. This is one thing in this life that nobody can do for me or you (us).
Nobody can exercise on my or your behalf.
Nobody can keep track of what I/ you eat, bite, lick, drink, etc on my/your behalf
Nobody can stay within my/your calorie budget on my/your behalf

Please do not give up. Please, please, please do not drop out when you fall off the wagon. Get up. We will help you dust off the dirt
This group is very accommodating, very encouraging, and there is no judgement
We are very supportive.
I will be here, some of us will still be here either loosing, maintaining or conquering bad habits. Every small step will put you in the right direction.7 -
Hi everyone! I am a pediatrician by day (or night, depending on my schedule and mom to a preschooler and infant. With diastasis recti and a lot of overeating during a period of acute stress, not to mention a super inconsistent schedule due to work, I'm very unhappy with how my body looks right now. It really limits me because it stops me from doing things I love like going to the beach, going out latin dancing, or even just wearing the clothes I want to. I've tried a bunch of different plans to get it back from eliminating sweets, eating only every 2 hours, and complicated reward systems including hydration and exercise. I realized that good old fashioned calorie counting is really the only way to know that I'm doing something that's actually going to produce results. I'm currently on a five day streak but I'm looking for something to keep me going if the excitement wears off and this looks perfect. I just want to get my body back and am looking forward to doing it as a team with all of you! 7

Hello All. I am 37, I had my last child a year and a half ago. I am now 80 lbs overweight. With a desk job, a recent baby and a horrible relationship with food it’s been a roller coaster. I am looking forward to accountability and connections. Here is to s great May.8

My first Challenge! Will try to do my best!5

I’m so excited to have found this challenge! I’m rapidly approaching my 50th birthday weighing the most I have ever weighed. My weight has yo-yo’d for most of my adult life. I’ve had a lot of success in the past with weight watchers but I’m not a big fan of their newer programs. The most success I had in the past was while being part of an accountability challenge on the old weight watchers boards so I was really excited to find this group. I have 60lbs to lose so I hope to be around for a while! I look forward to getting to know everyone and to give as well as receive support here. I’m heading into May feeling more optimistic than I have in a long time!6

I wanted to.do this challenge for the 1st time in April. But guess what? I ended up getting really sick for over 2 weeks and it completely derailed me. So, onward and upward in May!6

I did this a few times last year and it helped keep me on track. My next powerlifting meet is at the end of June and I’ve got 10 pounds to lose to get back to my competition weight so some accountability is needed! We got this!6

Looking forward to another UAC challenge month! Made the circle in March, id like to do it again for May, and am aiming to drop 6-8 lbs. Time to set some concrete goals.6
-
I’m back for my fifth month. I’ve made the winner’s circle twice and I’ve lost an average of 5lbs per month just by doing our three simple but hard to accomplish steps!
My husband and I both started on our weight loss journey in August and while I have kept trucking straight, he stalled out a few months ago.
Last week he finally had his moment where he realized that he had stopped weighing and measuring his portions, wasn’t tracking and was eating too many calories. His weight had flatlined even though his exercise level is high.
DUH!!!!!!
I’m so thankful for UAC for keeping me on track and helping me reinforce healthy habits for life.5 -
Hey everyone!! This is my second first time. Lol. I started last month but on April 3 got very sick. By mid-month I was still sick and left the challenge. But it's May 1 and I'm healthy, the sun is shining and I'm going to crush my goals this month!!!
I'm a 38 yr old mom to 3 yr old twin boys. To say life is crazy around here is an understatement. I welcome anyone who wants to be friends. The more the merrier I say!!!
Let's do this!!!7
