Hey newbie here. Excited about joining this group and building my healthy habits. 😁5

Hello Everyone,
I’m new to this group and excited for this month’s challenge. I sometimes use food to numb or distract; instead of for energy. So need support getting my brain rewired for a healthier lifestyle.
Any support or tips are welcome.

Hi! I'm new to this challenge, but I have used MFP sporadically over the years. I am a runner and struggle with balancing my weight as a result of overeating- under exercise (is that a term?) isn't an issue. I have a hard time saying no to food when it's good and I travel a lot for work, which makes eating out a must sometimes.
I am currently 135lbs but feel most comfortable in the low 120s. As a runner, I can see how the extra 10-15lbs has decreased my speed despite no change in my fitness abilities. I am also going to try to make September a sober month. While I'm not a big drinker (maybe 5-6 drinks a month), I know the empty calories are of no use when one is training and trying to lose weight. I mean training and losing weight simultaneously is hard enough- why add the mess of alcohol into it?
I look forward to working with all of you this month.6 -
Hi everyone, looking forward to September! I have some planned pass days this month for vacation, so I don't expect to make the winners circle....but I do have a goal to loose 5 lbs and will be working hard to get there!6

Hello this is my second time in the group. Saw some improvement in my first month in the group with some consistent weight loss and consistency with my exercise. I start a 12 week training group at my local YMCA towards the end of September and I want to be halfway towards my goal weight by then, currently 5lbs away.7

42 years-old, married and mom of 2; I live in Ontario(Canada). Fairly busy job, with lots of sitting and a 45-minute commute on either end. Spouse is gluten-free for health and son is vegetarian-so it makes for some interesting meal-prep.
Also.....What an amazing amount of positive regard everyone has for this challenge. I got more and more excited as I read through. I was on this Fitness Pal app earlier in 2019 and lost a great deal of weight and felt great—I’ve been inching my way back on here and September seems to be a perfect time, set with new routines-and good to get in place before we are blanked in snow and darkness.7 -
Hi all. What an exciting group we have!
I joined UAC after regaining weight this past winter. I lost most of it by the end of June and then coasted in July and August. I’m hoping to lose that last bit and a little more in the coming months. I love the way UAC helps me go slow and steady.
@SisuMom2019 I’m from Ontario too, in the GTA. Welcome!6 -
Hey there! I’m new to the group. I am 51, business owner, mom of three sons and newly married for the second time! I used MFP 8 years ago to lose about 22 lbs which put me on the slightly thinner side of where I probably should be. Dialing up to about 135 i kept that weight mostly off for a long time. But this past year and a half has been tough and I gained almost all of it back. I started losing weight in the spring and lost a few pounds from 152 to 146. Then promptly broke my foot. So I am starting again at 147 healed and ready for action. MFP worked for me once and I am so excited to have friends to support and be supported by!8

Tried and failed a few times, but not giving up. Every time I tried, I've felt so much better, so here I am again...6

Hello, I am returning after 2 months. I had great time and success before in this group but with long vacation I couldn’t continue. Hope to work on getting my mojo back.
This is an awesome group and loved the challenges.5
