Some are here for one thing and some are here for another.
What is your goal?
The UAC is a place to create and maintain the healthy habits that make your goals achievable.
You will achieve your goals, IF....you value the goal more than your current habits.
Do you believe you are worth it?

@RangerRickL "You will achieve your goals, IF....you value the goal more than your current habits."
I like this one, simple yet very true.
UAC actually, has helped me with those habits; when conflict (with people) arises I used shutdown and say the heck with "it" I'm not doing anything today because I'm annoyed. Recently, I've changed to the heck with "you" I'm going to just do me today.7 -
My goal is to get my health in check because too many people rely on me.☺
Yes x3 for yesterday did yard work with hubby.8 -

Yes! I still struggle with an absolute “I’m worth it” statement. Especially when it comes to time spent on grandkids vs myself (we babysit most days for part of the day). But this winter I was altruistic till I cracked healthwise, and it was a strong reminder that staying healthy is important, as you say, for me to be there for those who rely on me. Looking better is just a bonus.
PS I think the ability to say “I’m worth it” represents good mental health. Maybe someday I’ll get there.3 -
I don't know about any of you, but every now and then I'll look on Pinterest for some motivation. Anyway, today's posts so far have reminded me of two of those pins...

Yes x 3. Walking.
My big goal is to get back down to a healthy BMI. I have a load of mini goals I'm aiming for too and at the moment and setting myself mini weekly targets too. As you can tell, I like to break things down!
Am I worth it? As others have said, this isn't all about me. As a mum of 2 now I need to make sure I'm fit and healthy for them. I don't want to have avoidable weight related illnesses. I want to be fitter and have more energy. I want to be a good role model.8 -

To answer the “am I worth it?” question... Damn right I am! Regardless of my kids, my husband, or anyone else that depends on me, living a healthier life is all about me feeling better physically & emotionally. The people around me reap those benefits, but it is all for me. There is no guarantee that they will be part of my every day life forever, but I am stuck with myself in whatever shape I am in.10 -

My goal? To improve my chances of living into a long, healthy, fit old age. Mostly for me and my quality of life. I'm definitely worth it! And no one else will do it for me!
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes. 35 dynamic yoga, 16 HIIT walking video, almost 2 hours strenuous gardening. We were removing an old dead Rowan tree which proved to be surprisingly tough!

Yes x3. But it was a rough weekend...5

Yes X’s three! 60 minute full body strength class. Well under on calories.
My health, fitness and well being are 100% worth the work.
My motivation for change was getting married. Not the wedding (that was a tiny casual event) but the year after. I realized that because I met my love later in life, in order to spend decades together we needed to get healthy. I want a 30th and 40th anniversary.
Together we’ve lost 165lbs between us. We also quit smoking and went from drinks every night to drinks once a month.
The best part is that being healthy means we get to really enjoy this life together.
P.S. I can’t lie, it’s also FUN being the hot forty-something. I couldn’t say that 94lbs ago.9 -

It was tricky this weekend as we were at the cottage with very limited cell and internet service but.., I did my very best to write everything down, estimate calories and track on MFP when we came home. Mother in law did all the cooking which was wonderful but I had to guess on a few things. Happy to be back home for a few days with a little more control over tracking and meal planning.6 -
